<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 1916984, member: 57364&quot;]I can fully support the recommendation of this book by Doug.</p><p>I only had this for some weeks. So have to study it a bit more.</p><p>This is what it looks like:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]328935[/ATTACH]</p><p>It has a catalog part, but is not intended as a comprehensive catalog of Roman and Greek coinage. However, for ancient collectors with a side interest in oriental coins this is a great book. For the oriental catalog part covers most &quot;common&quot; oriental ancient coins which you are most likely to encounter, and which are still affordable.</p><p>Concerning the more theoretical metrological part i partly agree with Doug. I think it is a very commendable effort that mr Tye tries to link monetary systems and their interactions and does not view them in isolation. For the design part of the coinage i think he has succeeded. On the other hand, he may go to far in postulating a web of weight based interdependencies which partly might be coïncidence.</p><p>However, in the introduction, mr Tye clearly also asks for feedback and an open debate on the subject. I have no direct link with mr Tye, but in recent contact found him to be a very approachable person. I think he would very much welcome any comments and founded critique sent to him directly ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
