BOOK. Ancient Coin Collecting VI. Non Classical Cultures. By Wayne G.Sayles.
|
|
|
In this volume, it is barely possible to name all of the non-classical cultures. Any attempt to capture the essence of each group, in such a limited space, would be fruitless. Why then did we even attempt such a broad scope? Because there is practically nothing accessible to the collector today which says "There were other ancients." If the reader of this volume is overwhelmed, we should not be surprised. The field should overwhelm even the most experienced numismatist.
