Several times I have recommended this book for those interested in the coinage of bible times, but have always admitted that I have never read it.  Well, I found a bookseller who had it on "special" so I could no longer resist.  Did it live up to my expectations?  Has my reputation been destroyed by recommending a dud?  Is the book worth $85.00?  Stay tuned !!!  Or should I say, read on !
