Ancient numismatics is the study of coins and currency from ancient civilizations. This field examines the materials, designs, and inscriptions on coins to understand the economic, political, and cultural aspects of societies like the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, and Mesopotamia. Coins often reflect the values and beliefs of the time, serving as important artifacts for historians. Collectors and researchers in ancient numismatics analyze coins to trace trade routes, assess the wealth of regions, and study the impact of rulers. The study also includes medallions and tokens, which provide insights into ancient economies and social structures.
