Author Description

Excerpt from Early Christian Numismatics: Other Antiquarian Tracts Our repeated conversations upon various parti culars in this research had the effect of turning my attention to the whole subject, and to the method in which it might most intelligibly and com prehensively be treated. Coins, especially Roman imperial, had always been a favourite study with me, and (as a matter of course with the English collector) those of the late period, supplying the information required, were those most abundantly brought under my notice through their perpetual disinterment in all parts of Britain.
