Greek and Roman Coins in the Athenian Agora: Revised and updated edition by Fred S Kleiner

More than 75,000 coins have been found during excavations at the Agora, many minted in the city but others brought from Athens's far-flung commercial contacts. Together they are a testament to the city's broad regional influence, and they help trace the political shifts and cultural and commercial exchanges that took place over many centuries of Athenian history. After explaining the techniques of coin production, including a description of the building that may have served as the Athenian mint, the author takes a chronological approach and illustrates a wide range of ancient coins, making this guide a useful aid to the identification of common Greek and Roman coinage. Originally published in 1975, this new edition has been updated to take into account the latest discoveries in the Agora and with stunning color photographs throughout.
