Everett Bell writes narrative histories of American coins for readers who care more about the stories on money than about its price.

Any errors that remain are the author’s, and corrections are welcome.

Leo Kowalski is a lifelong enthusiast of coins and ancient history, drawn above all to the moment when a worn piece of metal turns into a story: a face, a slogan, a date, a name someone tried to erase. Leo lives in the United States and reads the ancient writers for pleasure. If you enjoyed this year in Rome, a short review on Amazon is the best way to help other readers find the book.
