One of the more unusual sources for lost or ruinous buildings from ancient Greece or Rome is coinage. This well-illustrated and accessible study examines a wide range of coins which recall and evoke buildings which were clearly important to Roman powers. The book is arranged by building-type, including roads, harbours, aqueducts, Rome's public buildings, temples, triumphal arches and altars. Many coins are illustrated and all technical terms are explained in the glossary.
