<p>[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3602418, member: 88829"]I cannot believe how shortsighted the reviewer (<i>Thomas Vorreyer</i>) was in his comments on numismatics. He mentions the study of ancients, but no one peep about the utility to archaeology (the teams in Israel frequently hire numismatists as participating consultants). He wasted a lot of space describing the eclipsing of hard currency by virtual ones, and completely ignored the modern interest in the ancient world. Niche perhaps but hardly nonexistent. My advanced degree is not in Numismatics, but it was not out of the question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
