Abstract
THIS is the first part of a new edition of “Marsden's Numismata Orientalia,” on an enlarged scale, and is the reproduction of an essay published some years ago. As it treats of the earliest information that has come down to us of the system of monetary weights in use amongst ancient Eastern nations, it is considered as an appropriate introduction to subsequent numbers, upon the coins of various Eastern countries, to be contributed by other authors.
Marsden's Numismata Orientalia.
A New Edition. Part I. “Ancient Indian Weights.” By Edward Thomas. (London: Trubner and Co., 1874.)
