[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 5171782, member: 90666"]Budaeus. His first book on classical numismatics was published 1514. I have an original 16th century copy. He didn't deal with coin types but with the concept of money in the ancient world, the denominations and so on. Whats self evident to us today, that a sestertius is a coin and a quarter of a denarius, wasn't evident before Budaeus. Many Renaissance ppl assumed they were medals.[/QUOTE]
