Excerpt from Ancient Coins of Cities and Princes, Geographically Arranged and DescribedThe primitive money of Hispania consisted of Silver and copper only. We may gather this both from Strabol and from Livy:2 from the former, that gold was not discovered in a state sufficiently pure to be converted into money, while the latter, in his enumeration of the treasure carried away by the Roman generals, makes no mention of coined gold.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
