Ancient Coins: In Praise of the Celators!
Dr. Tom Buggey’s Ancient Coins: In Praise of the Celators! focuses mainly on coins from Greek and Roman antiquity, especially those depicting the Roman emperors Trajan and Hadrian. Alongside the expected lists of coins accompanied by images and descriptions, Ancient Coins also includes a Coin of the Month, historical maps, and a page filled with informed speculation on the technology ancient engravers (celators) might have employed to make dies and coins. Other coins covered include those from ancient China and India, the Ottoman Empire, and European coins from the 11th to 18th centuries.
