BC was a time in history when mythology ruled people’s daily lives and all manner of gods, goddesses, heroes, and royalty, along with a multitude of creatures and animals, were being worshiped. All of them were so revered that with the invention of coinage around 600 BC by the Lydians, a kingdom tied to ancient Greece, the coins directly reflected this firm belief system. Mints produced coinage that displayed artistic stampings of specific images and meaningful symbolisms important to a region. This new medium promoted the Greek-style of art now found on coins that helped to play a major role in influencing the ancient world, and spreading art around their world.The Ancient Greek Coin Art series preserves Greek art style in history by focusing on showcasing a visual plethora of some of the world’s rarest surviving BC examples, now only found in museums and private collections around the world. Collectors of history, ancient Greek coins or regions, certain animals and/or characters from mythology can now assemble a personal visual library through one or more of the books in this series for entertainment and educational purposes.
