Abstract

In addition to its function as an economic tool, or as a mean of political propaganda, coins, especially Greek and Roman specimens, contain other informative values in themselves. They can be read as paradigms of aesthetic tendencies that not only represent the iconographic languages of their era, but also, given their democratic nature, as currency, can be considered as diffusing agents, among the common people, of the avant-garde aesthetic models advocated in their time.
