PREFACE

IT is a pleasure to acknowledge the substantial help which the translator has received in a task which, agreeable as it was, had difficulties for one who is neither an economist nor a numismatist. Professor R. A. B. Mynors has revised Wolowski’s text of the De Moneta from a better selection of MSS, and has added a description of those which he has used.

INTRODUCTION
