Lisa Kallet, John H. Kroll

The Athenian Empire

Using Coins as Sources

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This extensively illustrated book addresses the significance of coins as historical documents in the larger narrative of the empire and those who came into conflict with it. While written principally for an undergraduate audience, much of the coin evidence is new and will also interest a more advanced readership.
