ROMAN HISTORY FROM COINS by Michael Grant

Hardcover with dust jacket in good condition. Published in 1958 by Cambridge University Press with 95 pages plus 32 plates in b/w, showing 269 coins, both faces, save twenty. The d/j has tears along the front edges. Name and address of previous owner written and stamped on title page. Historians can read in the coins matters of art, politics, religion, economics - even personalities - not to be found in books. This is a fresh approach to "reading" history. No shipping overseas.
