Baumann identifiziert pflanzliche Darstellungen auf griechischen Münzen aus sieben Jahrhunderten. Die Pflanzensymbole sind entweder redende Wappen, die auf den Prägeort anspielen oder stellen Attribute von Gottheiten dar, denen die Stadt geweiht war. Den Ausführungen geht ein Bericht über das antike Münzwesen voraus.

 

An almost inexhaustible supply of floral stamps and engravings were used on Greek coins. The result is often a work of art and is also a testimony to Greek knowledge and appreciation of plants and trees. This slim and attractive book is arranged by plant order and photographs of the plants are accompanied by representations on coins. The study reveals associations between plants, deities and animals and the prominence of plants in political crests or motifs. There is also a catalogue of Greek and Roman authorities on the subject. The book will equally appeal to scholars of ancient botany and coinage.
