Ancient Coins
Ancient coins offer a captivating window into the economic, cultural, and artistic legacy of antiquity. Greek coins, renowned for their intricate designs, often depicted gods, heroes, and city emblems, reflecting the richness of Hellenic culture. Roman coins, ranging from the Republic to the Empire, showcased emperors, military victories, and monumental architecture, serving as propaganda tools and currency. Byzantine coins, primarily in gold and bronze, carried Christian iconography and imperial portraits, bridging classical and medieval art.
