Greek Coins (Classical Bookshelf (Austin, Texas).)

Rating:
Summary: Generally good, but short.
Review: This book is basically a century per chapter of Greek coins with a nice, round selection of pictures from each. From a representative sample of the great variety of coins known, the book concentrates on the archeological evidence for dating coins and discusses the history of the factors that caused the cultures to produce them.

Some very nice coins are pictured within 112 pages and 8 chapters. It gives a basic outline of greek history according to coinage and is introductory in its nature.
