Why is it important?
The few previous books on the relationship between archaeology and numismatics have focused on Classical archaeology in Europe and the Mediterranean, while North American historical archaeologists typically receive little training in numismatics. This book, as explained in the review, fills that gap quite well. However, the review also notes a few important topics that the book omits.
