About this product

Product Information

The coins of ancient and medieval Europe provide unique insights into the economic and political history of their period. This hypothesizes that astronomical symbols on ancient and medieval coins were often used as a way to record actual celestial events. It provides more than 550 figures and line drawings of coins, maps, and astronomical events to illustrate this hypothesis.

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • 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.
