Spink & Son Ltd Coins and Medals of the English Civil War 2nd
Book SynopsisThe second edition of this book presents a new and expanded exploration of the unusually varied coinage and currency of the ‘Great Rebellion’ of 1642-1660, a pivotal period in British history. It builds on further research available since its original publication in 1990, notably a fresh appraisal of the West Country mints of Sir Richard Vyvyan and new insights into the numerous hoards of the time. Along the way, we meet more of the people who willingly or unwillingly did business with the wartime mints. Following a description of the currency in circulation in 1642 and a survey of the organisation of royalist minting during the war, the royalist mint-franchises are considered in turn. Foreign coinage, siege issues and the emergency coinages of Ireland are all described; and the story of the Tower Mint under Parliament is followed through the Interregnum of 1649-60 to the Restoration of Charles II. Minting methods at a time of transition from manual to mechanised production form an important subsidiary theme. Edward Besly was Numismatist at the National Museum of Wales (Amgueddfa Cymru) from 1986-2018, having previously worked at the British Museum. He is best known for his studies of Romano-British coin hoards and of the coinages of the time of Charles I (1625-49). In 2003 he was awarded the John Sanford Saltus Medal of the British Numismatic Society.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges
Book SynopsisAn exceptional reference work to pilgrim and secular badges of the middle ages. This is the first major catalogue in English devoted to medieval badges. These fascinating objects provide us with a guide to the popularity of different cults and pilgrim centres, supplying evidence of the sometimes arduous journeys not only to famous and far-off sanctuaries like Compostela, but to native shrines such as that of St Thomas Becket at Canterbury, or the tombs of local, unofficial saints. Often mass-produced and sold in tens of thousands, pilgrim souvenirs offer pointers to fashion in contemporary precious jewellery. The secular badges include a wealth of non-religious imagery, playful and amatory, satirical, celebratory and heraldic. Illustrating nearly 800 items ofpopular medieval jewellery, the catalogue contained within the book describes previously unpublished finds retrieved from datable archaeological London waterfront deposits, and provides the basis of a chronological framework for future excavations. BRIAN SPENCER was the Senior Keeper at the Museum of London, with special responsibility for the Museum's collection of medieval everyday objects.Trade Review[A] valuable volume. * MEDIAEVISTIK *The need for more copies of this invaluable reference work in the wake of the success of the Portable Antiquities Scheme is evident. * MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY *It is good to see that these riches - long concealed in the layers of mud beneath our capital city - have been excavated, restored and put on view. * THE ART NEWSPAPER *[reviewed together with 'The Medieval Household'] Republication of two volumes from the essential Medieval Finds from Excavations in London series, both from 1998, is very welcome.

Spink & Son Ltd The History and Coinage of the Roman Imperators
Book SynopsisThe brief period covered by The History and Coinage of the Roman Imperators witnessed the violent transition of the Roman state from a republican constitution, presided over by the Senate, to a full military autocracy under the control of one man, the Emperor Augustus. In reality, the events of these years were merely the culmination of a movement which had been gathering strength over the preceding half century, since the rise of men such as Marius and Sulla. Caesar had put events into motion by his invasion of Italy and his challenge to Pompey's dominant position in Roman politics. With his assassination on the Ides of March, 44 BC, Caesar's role was inherited by his youthful great-nephew Octavian who, against seemingly hopeless odds, succeeded in eliminating his rivals for supreme power, notably Mark Antony and his ambitious consort Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. This book traces in detail the unfolding of this drama. Each of its six chapters includes a comprehensive catalogue listing o

Oxbow Books Coins Riches and Lands
Book SynopsisLand was the ideal store of wealth in the ancient Mediterranean world. It brought social respectability, and its possession allowed participation in the politics of the cities governed by landowning elites. Crucial defense of the interests of a given polity through armed services often involved the distribution of lands to laborers still not integrated in these societies. Mediterranean urban dynamics also involved paid labor and were always in need of short-contract manpower, including skilled soldiers and warriors. For short-time military services, lands were not always available so soldiers and warriors were paid with coins and riches.Because of their superior development, urban economies in the Mediterranean were able to attract migrant paid labor. When returning home, the migrant warriors carried coins and riches that would enable them to maximize the return that a homecoming entailed. Although difficult to prove whether these men were paid in advance or when discharged, it is an important issue as it shows the strength of one contractor over another and helps to better understand the construction of statehood in ancient and early medieval times.This collection of papers sheds light on how coins, riches, and lands were gained and distributed among soldiers, warriors, and mercenaries. Contributions cover a wide chronological span from Late Pharaonic to early medieval times, linking a well-defined core area, the Mediterranean basin, with its peripheries: Central Europe and Scandinavia to the north and the margins of the Sahara Desert and the Fertile Crescent to the south and the east.

Archaeopress The Watlington Hoard: Coinage, Kings and the
Book SynopsisThe Watlington Hoard was discovered in southern Oxfordshire in 2015 by a metal-detectorist, and acquired by the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford in 2017. A nationally-important find of coinage and metalwork, and the first major Viking-Age hoard from the county, it dates from the late 870s, a fundamental and tumultuous period in Britain’s history. The contents of the hoard include a highly significant collection of over 200 silver pennies, mostly of Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, and Ceolwulf II, king of Mercia, transforming our understanding of the coinage in this period, and 23 silver and gold pieces of contemporary metalwork much of which was derived from Scandinavia. Presenting the complete publication of the objects and coins in the Watlington Hoard – including an important re-assessment of the coinage of the late 870s – the authors discuss its wider implications for our understanding of hoarding in late 9th-century southern Britain, interactions between the kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia, and the movements of the Viking Great Army after the Battle of Edington in 878. The book also relates another side to the hoard’s story, beginning with its discovery and excavation, charting its path through the conservation work and acquisition by the Ashmolean Museum to the public outreach projects which ran alongside the scholarly research into the hoard.Trade Review'This is an impressive volume, which demonstrates the value of collaboration between archaeologists, heritage professionals, and responsible metal-detectorists.' – Murray Andrews (2023): Current Archaeology Issue 394'On many different levels this volume on the Watlington Hoard is significant for Anglo-Saxon studies, containing interesting papers which are well-supported by numerous photographs, maps, and tables to aid interpretation.' – Barbara Yorke (2023): Oxoniensia Vol. 88'This excellent volume provides thereby an important contribution to our growing understanding of the Viking Great Army.' – Julian Richards (2023): Medieval Archaeology vol 67.1 Table of ContentsForeword – Xa Sturgis, Director of the Ashmolean Museum ; Chapter 1 Introduction ; Chapter 2 The Watlington Hoard uncovered: from discovery to acquisition and beyond ; Chapter 3 The archaeology and landscape of the Upper Thames Valley in the 9th century – John Naylor ; Chapter 4 Oxfordshire, Wessex, and Mercia in the Age of Alfred the Great – Ryan Lavelle ; Chapter 5 The coinage of Wessex and Mercia, c.875–79: a re-assessment of the Two Emperors and Cross-and-Lozenge types – John Naylor ; Chapter 6 The coins of the Watlington Hoard – John Naylor with a contribution by Simon Coupland ; Chapter 7 The non-numismatic objects of the Watlington hoard – Jane Kershaw ; Chapter 8 Money in southern England in the 870s in the light of the Watlington hoard – Julian Baker ; Chapter 9 The Watlington Hoard in Context – John Naylor ; Catalogue 1 The non-numismatic objects – Compiled and edited by Eleanor Standley ; Catalogue 2 The coins – John Naylor ; Appendix 1 A revised checklist of finds of Two Emperors and Cross-and-Lozenge type coins – Compiled by John Naylor ; Appendix 2 A visual summary guide to the classification of the Two Emperors and Cross-and-Lozenge type pennies – John Naylor ; Appendix 3 The moneyers of the Two Emperors and Cross-and-Lozenge type pennies ; Appendix 4 Concordance table showing the spellings of moneyer’s names ; Bibliography

Archaeopress Between Roman Culture and Local Tradition: Roman
Book SynopsisBetween Roman Culture and Local Tradition presents a detailed analysis of the Roman provincial coinage of Bithynia and Pontus during the reign of Trajan (98-117), when 14 cities struck coins. The book characterises individual mints, the rhythm of monetary production, iconography and legends, and considers the attribution and dating of individual issues. Context is provided by studies on other categories of artefacts discovered in the local area, including epigraphic and material ones, such as fine art, sculptures and architectural remains. The extent of circulation is also analysed, as well as the coinage of the border centres of neighbouring provinces such as Thrace, Asia and Galatia-Cappadocia. Reference is made to historical sources, principally the correspondence of Pliny the Younger with the emperor, which can help to show the realities of life for the inhabitants of individual centres, including ongoing construction projects or local problems. Overall the book aims to reconstruct the coinage policy of individual cities and culture and religion in various centres during this period, as well as contacts and relationships among the local communities. In turn, the studies of individual cities allow for the creation of a general picture of coinage in the province.Table of ContentsPreface ; Introduction ; The Roman Empire and Bithynia and Pontus during the reign of Trajan ; Mints in the province of Bithynia and Pontus ; Chronology ; Metrology and denominations ; Iconography and legends of coins of Bithynia and Pontus during the reign of Trajan ; Coins without an ethnic with uncertain attributions ; Pseudo-autonomous coins of Bithynia and Pontus ; Production in the provincial centres ; Circulation ; The coinage of Bithynia and Pontus and issues of the neighbouring Roman provinces ; Summary ; Plates ; References ; Appendix 1: Legends on the coins of Bithynia and Pontus during the reign of Trajan ; Index of Mythological Characters ; Index of Names ; Topographical and Geographical Index

Archaeopress Look at the Coins! Papers in Honour of Joe Cribb
Book SynopsisThe twenty-four contributions in Look at the Coins! reflect the vast scope of Joe Cribb's interests, including Asian numismatics, museology, poetry and art. The papers are arranged geographically, then chronologically or thematically. The first seven papers look at coins, charms and silver currencies in or from China: Chinese coin-shaped charms, Han dynasty gold unearthed in the Tomb of the Marquis of Haihun, Jiangxi, silver in the history of Chinese currency, a metallurgical and historical study of Song dynasty coins, the Department of Iron Coins at Dongtangzi Hutong in Beijing and the only known annotated plan of a Chinese mint, the six million dollars in silver of the Canton Ransom, and a hoard of Chinese coins found in Turkey. One paper focuses on the coins and medals of the two Pahlavi Shahs of Iran. Nine papers look at finds from ancient Central Asia and Afghanistan: coins of South Soghd in the first two centuries AD, the identity of the rider on Indo-Greek coins, the phonology of Greek names in Kharo??hi script, questions of identity and interpretation in Gandharan reliefs, first-century AD coins in stupa deposits and the beginning of the Buddhist relic cult in Afghanistan, a hoard of Kushan gold coins from Swabi, Gandharan Jatakas, Avadanas and Purvayogas, Indian imitations of Kushan coins, and a new gold coin of Vasudeva I. Four papers relate to India: Roman coins found in India, Hera?ika' in the inscriptions of the Western Deccan (c. 200 BC300), the peck and shroff marks of sixteenth-century North India, andHenry Ernest Stapleton and the coin collection in the Heberden Coin Room, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. Two papers relate to South East Asia: one revisits the Stamford Raffles' Collections, and the other discusses a hybrid pendant found in Thailand.The last contribution celebrates some of Joe's less well-known interests: poetry, art medals and art photography.

Archaeopress Treasures of the Gupta Empire
Book SynopsisCoins have existed for over 2,000 years in India, but none have matched the sheer beauty and complexity of the coins issued by the kings of the Gupta dynasty from the fourth through the sixth centuries AD. Starting from the first of the Gupta kings, Chandragupta I in AD 319, to the last king Vishnugupta in AD 543, their coins are a historical record detailing the evolution of the Gupta style and its impact on religious art from India's Golden Age. The clues hidden in the coin designs, Brahmi legends, dates, and metrology have been deciphered here to help reconstruct the history of the Gupta dynasty. This work greatly expands upon A. S. Altekar's 1957 effort to fully document the coinage and to understand its impact on the history of India. It includes the rarest of the coins from the collections of major international museums as well as private collections, otherwise inaccessible to most researchers, and provides full-color, high-definition images of type specimens for each variety

OUP USA The Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Coinage
Book SynopsisA broadly-illustrated overview of the contemporary state of Greco-Roman numismatic scholarship.Trade Review"As Metcalf notes (xvii), it is over 100 years since the last single volume guide to Greek coinage was produced, and there has never been an equivalent work for Rome. This new handbook is, therefore, long overdue and hugely welcome. All involved are to be congratulated and, while in a project as broad as this there are inevitably some omissions, we now have something where there was nothing, and for that we should be very grateful. It is much to be hoped that students of the history of all periods will find their way to this rich new resource." * Andrew Meadows, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *"This book represents an unprecedented innovation in numismatic literature and is becoming widely regarded as the best introduction to classical ancient coins. It is far more than a guide written solely for collectors. Instead, it was written to serve also as an introduction for graduate or post-doctoral students in the ancient cultures who seek training in classical numismatics. As a work in the renowned Oxford Handbooks series, this volume was written to offer an authoritative and annotated state-of-the-art survey of current thinking and research in the subject area. However, it is just that focus that makes it such a valuable text for serious collectors of ancient coins." * Roger Kuntz, Rochester Numismatic Association *Table of ContentsPreface ; Abbreviations ; Introduction, William E.

Archaeopress The Beau Street, Bath Hoard
Book SynopsisThe Beau Street Hoard is one of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries ever to be made in Bath: the Roman town of Aquae Sulis. The discovery captured the public imagination and it became the focus for a major scientific investigation and a significant learning and public engagement programme. Carefully excavated by professional archaeologists the hoard was recovered intact and removed to the British Museum for more detailed examination and study. It was found to have been deposited in a cist in at least eight bags. Micro-investigation of the hoard in a conservation laboratory and further scientific analysis revealed more fascinating details and information reported on here. The Beau Street, Bath Hoard provides a thorough and complete publication and analysis of the hoard, which is one of the largest yet found in a Roman town in Britain. The high quality of the recovery and investigation process means that it makes a significant contribution to both archaeological and numismatic studies.Table of ContentsForeword and Acknowledgments ; Beau Street, Bath: Overview – Richard Abdy ; The Beau Street Hoard: A Summary Account of the Archaeological Context – Mark Corney ; The Composition of the Hoard – Benedict Sayers ; Laboratory Excavation and Conservation – Julia Tubman ; A Third Century Crisis?

Archaeopress Kom al-Ahmer – Kom Wasit II: Coin Finds 2012–2016
Book SynopsisKom al-Ahmer and Kom Wasit were ideally placed to take advantage of the Mediterranean trade given their close proximity to the Egyptian ports of Thonis-Heracleion, Alexandria, and Rosetta during the Hellenistic, Roman, Late Roman, and early Islamic period. The social and economic vitality of the sites has been revealed during investigations undertaken by the Italian archaeological mission between 2012 and 2016 and published in Kom al-Ahmer – Kom Wasit I: Excavations in the Metelite Nome, Egypt ca. 700 BC – AD 100. This volume presents over 1070 coins (ca. 310 BC–AD 641) and 1320 examples of Late Roman and Early Islamic pottery, testimony to the considerable commercial activity in the region during the Late Antique period. Kom al-Ahmer and Kom Wasit emerge as centers of an exchange network involving large-scale trade of raw materials to and from the central and eastern Mediterranean.Table of ContentsPreface ; Introduction ; The Kom al-Ahmer and Kom Wasit Archaeological Project II ; First Phase: 2012–2016 ; Part 1: Coin Finds 2012–2016 (Michele Asolati and Cristina Crisafulli) ; Introduction ; Conditions of the Coins and the Metallographic Analyses ; Coin Finds at Kom al-Ahmer and Kom Wasit ; The Late Imperial Coins from Kom al-Ahmer, Unit 4: The Finds and their Distribution ; The Late Imperial Coins from Kom al-Ahmer: The Distribution of Types and Mints ; The Latest Evidence ; Catalogue ; Bibliography ; Part 2: Late Roman and Early Islamic Pottery from Kom al-Ahmer (Cristina Mondin) ; 1.

Book SynopsisThe treasure of Buseyra is preserved in the museum of Deir az-Zour in Syria. The coins in the hoard cover a large period from the Sassanian Sovereign Khusrô II (590/1-628) until the terminal date 331H/ 941. These coins offer precious information, not only about a large number of mints but about the periods and quantities of minting activity. This treasure is important because it is the first complete hoard of the 10th century discovered in the al-Djazīra area. According to Tomas Noonan, the Middle East and Central Asian hoards only amount to ten per cent of the treasures found in northern and eastern Europe and the Nordic countries. In comparing contemporaneous 10th-century silver hoards, and especially the relation between the numbers of coin dies and their representation of their products, we can obtain insights into the flows of money and the balance of payments for each area and each minting city.Table of ContentsIntroduction ; Chapitre I ; 1.

Archaeopress El tesoro de Regina Turdulorum (Casas de Reina,
Book SynopsisThe Regina Turdulorum Hoard (Casas de Reina, Badajoz) was buried with 818 imitative antoniniani of Divo Claudio type, minted in copper. The vast majority of the coins bear the reverse legend CONSECRATIO. This figure makes the Regina Turdulorum hoard one of the most important in Spain and Portugal. In numismatic terms, the most common reverse type is the funeral pyre, as opposed to the eagle. In addition to this main group, there is a second group, where there are curious imitations that follow various prototypes for the manufacture of the reverse. The study of the posthumous coinage of Claudius II and his imitations represents one of the most complex tasks in ancient numismatics. The work is considerably complicated by the fact that they are highly copied coins, which means that regular issues are very difficult to distinguish from the imitations. In this sense, the hoard provides vital information for the western monetary circulation of the Roman Empire, contributing to the debate on Gallic and African imitations. It also opens the way to the hypothesis that Hispania may have been another centre for issuing Divo Claudio imitations. Although the latter remains to be proven, the tentative and open nature of this book provides the opportunity to open new lines of study in the hope that they will be resolved sooner rather than later.Table of ContentsPrólogo ; 1.

Archaeopress Acheloios, Thales, and the Origin of Philosophy:
Book SynopsisAcheloios, Thales, and the Origin of Philosophy: A Response to the Neo-Marxians fundamentally changes our understanding of a pivotal moment in the history of mankind – the origin of the philosophical experience in 6th century Ionia. Through a careful analysis of the archaeological record, a close reading of hundreds of ancient sources, and a deep investigation into the various languages of our past, Nicholas Molinari demonstrates the importance of the influence of the cult of Acheloios on Thales; provides a critique of the Neo-Marxian prioritization of coined money and conflation of metaphysical cosmology and philosophy; and, most importantly, reintegrates beauty and love as philosophy’s ultimate source.Table of ContentsAbstract; Introduction; Part I: Concerning the Neo-Marxian School; Chapter 1: Marx to Sohn-Rethel: Dialectical Materialist Approaches to the Origin of Philosophy; Chapter 2: Richard Seaford’s Contribution; Part II: Concerning Thales and Acheloios; Chapter 3: Thales’ Principle: A Provisional Assessment; Chapter 4: The Emergence of Acheloios and Major Elements of His Cult; Part III: Concerning the Etymological and Archaeological Evidence; Chapter 5: The Etymology of hýdōr: Pure, Sacred Water; Chapter 6: The Physical Evidence; Part IV: Philosophos and Philomythos; Chapter 7: Philosophy Ex Nihilo?; Chapter 8: The Mythological Wellspring; Part V: Concerning the Thaletan-Acheloian Tradition; Chapter 9: Thales and Acheloios; Chapter 10: The Thaletan Tradition from Pythagoras to Empedokles; Part VI: Purification of Body and Soul: Sophokles and Plato; Chapter 11: Sophokles’ Trachiniae: The Interplay of Gods and Souls; Chapter 12: Acheloios as the Horizon for an Understanding of Being; Conclusion; The Sacrifice of Acheloios: A Response to the Neo-Marxians; Bibliography; General Index; Index Locorum

The Israel Numismatic Society The Yehud Coinage: A Study and Die Classification
Book SynopsisThis volume presents a die study of the provincial silver coinage of Judah in the late Persian, Macedonian, and early Hellenistic periods. It offers correct descriptions of the coins, their designs, and their inscriptions; enumerates the obverse and reverse dies identified for each of the 44 recorded types; and explains the probable sequence of the issues as deduced from iconographic associations and die links. The iconography of the coin types is examined in depth, with comparisons to motifs in Greek, Persian, and ancient Near Eastern art, including other local coinages and sources in Judahite material culture. The monograph also analyses data relating to the metrology, metal content, and circulation of the coinage. Overall, the study attempts to place the Yehud coinage in its historical context and to define its role in the economy of the ancient province of Judah.
