Excerpt from The Coinage of Lydia and Persia: From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Dynasty of the Achaemenidae

The history of Lydia and Persia is to so great a degree interwoven with that of Greece, and is, moreover, so generally known, that I have not thought it necessary to give more than the barest outlines requisite for the elucidation of the matter in hand; and in the case of the coins which form the subject of the present article the merest sketch is sufficient, because, owing to the uniformity of type and the lack of inscriptions, it is for the most part impossible to classify them under the several reigns during which they were issued.
