Monumental Coins explores how temples, theaters, baths and civic structures were represented on ancient coinage, and what those images reveal about identity, power and urban life. The text combines historical context with visual analysis to connect numismatic detail to real architectural forms.

A generous gallery of coin photographs is paired with precise line drawings to clarify worn or subtle features. Computer-generated floor plans and hand-drawn reconstructions translate small engraved views into readable building layouts, aiding comparison between coin art and archaeology.

Suitable for collectors, students of classical architecture and anyone interested in art-history intersections. Krause Pubns Inc, 1999. 242 pages.
