Ancient Selfies: History Revealed Through the World's First Social Media - Ancient Coins by Clinton Richardson is phenomenal, a historical book that transports readers back to ancient times and ancient places, and introduces them to ancient heroes through the art of the selfie preserved in ancient coins. Hand stamped coins with carefully selected images of key and prominent personalities of ancient times had tremendous effect and power over their subjects, and played an important role in barter when they met with commercial partners. The images, carefully and masterfully crafted on coins, became symbolic of the way these personalities were seen by their subjects and business partners — or, at least, the way they wanted to be seen. You will encounter prominent figures from different civilizations; the Persian, the Greek, the Celt, the Carthaginian, and the Phoenician.
Clinton Richardson has done a marvelous job in researching and writing this book, introducing readers to a concept that has been used more than 2000 years ago, and allowing them to see the side of historic heroes that they are hardly aware of. The idea behind this book is brilliant and it is masterfully executed. Ancient Selfies: History Revealed Through the World's First Social Media - Ancient Coins will change the way we see and appreciate history and some of the heroes who have played a great role in shaping it. Get ready for a ride with the author as he takes you through the art of ancient selfies, unveiling hidden secrets about the men and women we revere as icons of ancient history and civilization: Hannibal, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Homer, Julius Caesar, Spartacus, Cicero, Brutus, Cleopatra, and Marc Antony. This book opens a new path into the appreciation of ancient coins; it is interesting, intriguing, and utterly entertaining. It will be a long and delightful ride many years back in time.
