片段试读：The Coinage of Sicily

The numismatic history of Sicily reflects the vicissitudes of its political history in truly unique fashion. Cities were conquered and destroyed, populations displaced and resettled, tyrannies raised and toppled. Many of these political shifts have left traces in the history of Sicilian coinage. Nevertheless, many an accepted view has proven erroneous, and many an assumed turning point deceptive. Cities generally were not utterly destroyed as the ancient historians describe; neither were population displacements rigorous, nor did politicians and tyrants have absolute discretionary power—as one might well imagine, given the bitter experiences of modern history. Thus, today much numismatic evidence must often be checked anew and sometimes completely reassessed.
