The narrative of Roman history has been largely shaped by the
surviving literary sources, augmented in places by material
culture. The numerous surviving coins can, however, provide new
information on the distant past. This accessible but authoritative
guide introduces the student of ancient history to the various ways
in which they can help us understand the history of the Roman
republic, with fresh insights on early Roman-Italian relations,
Roman imperialism, urban politics, constitutional history, the rise
of powerful generals and much more. The text is accompanied by over
200 illustrations of coins, with detailed captions, as well as maps
and diagrams so that it also functions as a sourcebook of the key
coins every student of the period should know. Throughout, it
demystifies the more technical aspects of the field of numismatics
and ends with a how-to guide for further research for
non-specialists.
