Meteorites & Sacred Stones on Coins of Ancient Greece & Rome - Paperback

by Michael L. Blood (Author)

Now there is finally a book describing and showing examples of the Meteorite & Sacred Stones found on many of the Ancient Greek and Roman Coins. The text is arranged to give an overviewof the sacred stones and meteorites, their origin myths, names and locations followed by an extensivechronological list of chapters on Emperors and royalty who's coins show depictions of these various meteorites and sacred stones with photo depictions of each along with a description of the issuing person, his or her time and nature of influence, etc. There is an extensive References list at the end of the book allowing for further research on the part of the reader. Never has such a numismatic reference been available for the collector of these types of coins. I doubt any reader will fail to discover coins of which they were not heretofore aware.
