About this product

Product Information

The coins of ancient and medieval Europe provide unique insights into the economic and political history of their period.

Seller is great and responsive. USPS is awful. They gave my package to the wrong address, it was opened and another expected packaged Blu Ray was opened, lost it original mail packaging, and inserted into this order's package, then put infrpn of my door later that day. Thankfully nothing was damaged. Overall great nostalgic X-men comic, and great repsonsive seller. USPS is the only problem here.

I ordered this book May 14th and didn't receive it until May 28th. I waited 5 days to contact the seller after purchase because they hadn't shipped yet. They thanked me for reaching out but still they exceeded the delivery date. I have never had to wait this long for a delivery. Very poor customer service. Booked arrived in good condition despite inadequate packaging. I will not purchase from this seller again.

  • Great reference tool for helping with attributing ancient & medieval coins.

    This book is a wonderful reference in helping to decipher symbols on ancient and medieval coins. Attributing ancient and medieval coins can be tricky when you do not recognize the symbols on your coin. Astronomical symbols were used frequently on these coins and it is great to have one handy reference book to identify these symbols.
