When Money Speaks. The History of Coins and Numismatics from Antiquity to Pop Culture
Numismatics, the science of coins, has revealed a vast amount of information about world civilizations that could not be obtained in any other way. Moreover, with the advancements in modern technology, it has become even more effective. Coins are an... integral part of the economic, social, political, religious, and cultural history of humanity, so without this special perspective, the narrative of our past would be incomplete. In addition to excursions into history, this book pays special attention to how coins appeared in literature and pop culture: from Greek drama and the New Testament to TV series and meme theory.
