Types of Ancient Coins

There can be books and volumes written about the types of ancient coins possible. For the sake of a quick introduction, here is a brief overview.

Greek

Ancient coinage was invented in Lydia circa 600's B.C. Yes that is over 2600 years ago. That is how far ancient Greek coins date back to. The earlier coins before 480 B.C. are considered archaic. These are often valued more highly by collectors, as they are often scarcer. Next you have the various different kingdoms and city states develop. From more famous names such as Alexander the Great, Pyrrhos (for Pyrrhic victory expression) to the more democratic ancient Athens, Greek coins pack a lot of historical value in a small package.

Roman

The Romans were concurrent with the Greeks at a certain historical time period, however they wound up being a better, more organized and ultimately stronger force that dominated history until the 5th century A.D. at least. It is also believed by well-educated scholars that the Byzantine empire was actually a continuation of the old Roman empire, with a new capital built by Constantine the Great called Constantinople. Historical ancient Roman coins range from the more famous names such as Julius Caesar, Augustus, Caligula, Tiberius and Nero to the more obscure (almost lost to history) emperors. Some routes that can be pursued in coin collecting would be to Collect the Women on the coins, Coins of the Roman Republic, All the Emperors, Gods and Goddesses, Architectural Types, Military Themed and so many more.

Biblical

Biblical coins can be considered the types used or mentioned in the Bible. A poor widow gives all the money she has in the world in a religious gathering donation, the famous coin is known as the widow's mite. A silver Roman coin was brought to Jesus which is now known as the famous 'Tribute Penny' "Render unto Caesar all that is Caesar's". The infamous '30 Pieces of Silver' used as payment to Judas for the betrayal of Jesus Christ. Then there were the coins that circulated in biblical Jerusalem.
