Coin Hoards and Hoarding in the Roman World presents fourteen
chapters from an interdisciplinary group of Roman numismatists,
historians, and archaeologists, discussing coin hoarding in the
Roman Empire from c. 30 BC to AD 400. The book illustrates the
range of research themes being addressed by those connected with
the Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire Project, which is creating a
database of all known Roman coin hoards from Augustus to AD 400.
The volume also reflects the range of the Project's collaborations,
with chapters on the use of hoard data to address methodological
considerations or monetary history, and coverage of hoards from the
west, centre, and east of the Roman Empire, essential to assess
methodological issues and interpretations in as broad a context as
possible. Chapters on methodology and metrology introduce
statistical tools for analysing patterns of hoarding, explore the
relationships between monetary reforms and hoarding practices, and
address the question of value, emphasizing the need to consider the
whole range of precious metal artefacts hoarded. Several chapters
present regional studies, from Britain to Egypt, conveying the
diversity of hoarding practices across the Empire, the differing
methodological challenges they face, and the variety of topics they
illuminate. The final group of chapters examines the evidence of
hoarding for how long coins stayed in circulation, illustrating the
importance of hoard evidence as a control on the interpretation of
single coin finds, the continued circulation of Republican coins
under the Empire, and the end of the small change economy in
Northern Gaul.
