ой, сочинение.. The ancient Greeks attributed the invention of coins to the heroes of their myths, the Romans - the gods Janus or Saturn. According to their views, ancient coins with the head of the two-faced god and the ship's nose (rostrum) knocked Janus in honor of the god Saturn time, which sailed to Italy from Crete on a ship. The word "coin" in Latin means "cautionary" or "counselor." This title was the Roman goddess Juno - the wife of the thunder of Jupiter; it was believed that she had repeatedly warned the Romans of earthquakes, attacks enemies. In the Roman Capitol near the temple of Juno Moneta housed workshops where cast and minted coinage.In place of their manufacturing production workshop also called the "coin", which then fell into most European languages. Herodotus and some other ancient authors wrote that the first coins were minted in Asia Minor Lydia State. Nowadays, it is well established that the earliest coins have appeared there around 685 BC. e. , During the reign of ARDISIA. [1] they were made of electrum - a natural alloy of silver and gold. On one side of the coin is silver, on the other, the head of the Assyrian lion. After a few decades, we began to make coins in the Greek city of Aegina. They were minted from silver and differ in form from the Lydian. It is believed that in Aegina coin was invented later though, but regardless of Lydia. From Lydia and Aegina coins quickly spread all over Greece, in the colonies, and later in Iran. They then came the Romans and many barbarian tribes. Independently coins were invented in India and China. And in China, the first coins were cast in bronze in the XII century BC. e, but they had only regional importance.
