Attempts to bring the Bible to life - by linking as many Biblical stories as possible to coins, many of which are common enough for us to be able to see, and often to actually own. This title includes chapters which are written in Biblical order

Intended for a collector, this work assumes that the reader will be more interested in assigning a coin to its proper period or Emperor than in working out the meaning of the design on the reverse. It contains illustrations (which are as close to life-sized as possible as) an aid to identification.
