<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 16868, member: 57463&quot;]Today, the standard introductions are the books by WAYNE SAYLES.&nbsp; He has a series on ancients. The first volume is an overview of Greek, Roman, etc., and the subsequent volumes focus on each area (Greek, Roman, etc.) You can find this on the web at </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.vcoins.com/sayles/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=23" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vcoins.com/sayles/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=23" rel="nofollow">http://www.vcoins.com/sayles/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=23</a> </p><p>or start here</p><p><a href="http://www.celator.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.celator.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.celator.com/</a></p><p>and click to Wayne Sayles&#039;s books.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another introduction with a long history is the &quot;Handbook of Ancient Greek and Roman Coins&quot; by Zander H. Klawans and Ken Bressett.&nbsp; The Klawans book goes back 50 years and Bressett has updated it.&nbsp; You can find this from many booksellers as it is in print.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you get going, you might want the SEABY books on Greek Coins by DAVID SEAR and on Roman Silver Coins (also by David Sear) and Byzantine Coins and their Values. 2nd ed. London: Seaby Ltd.,also by David Sear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lest we suffer from an overdose of David Sear, there is a 2-vol set on Roman Coins by David Vagi.&nbsp; See my review on Coin Newbies at <a href="http://www.coin-newbies.com/articles/david_vagi.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coin-newbies.com/articles/david_vagi.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coin-newbies.com/articles/david_vagi.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
