<p>[QUOTE="Gil-galad, post: 1669876, member: 44154"]I was with a friend of mine and he decided he wanted to go to a bookstore. I was like alright, I haven't done that in ages. I looked around and asked about coin books but they didn't have any. I went to the world history section and found this book for a whopping $3.50. I was going to get it when I my friend said, I only found three books and so I'll take care of that. They have a buy three, get one free deal there so I ended up getting it for free. lol</p><p><br /></p><p>I glanced through it of course and it's a reference book of many places in the ancient world, many provinces, ancient civilizations and cities. I didn't read too much of it because I didn't have time. I actually saw Aquileia, Ticinum and many other places. It was even packaged up as new. On Amazon, a new copy is going for $120 top price, average about $80. I got a damn good deal. It's going to be really useful to me in coin collecting, I figure. Especially when I start collecting Roman Provincial coins and other regions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read a review and it has nothing about Sumer, Mari, Israel, and rather sparse for some areas, but hey it might be impossible to do it all, right?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i43.tower.com/images/mm101266603/a-guide-ancient-world-dictionary-classical-place-names-michael-grant-hardcover-cover-art.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
