Extensively illustrated, each entry includes details on dates,
mints, personalities, weight standard, important variations, and
the history and meaning of the legend and design. Detailed
information about the late Roman bronze coinage system. Extensive
introductory notes in Chapter One discuss the life-cycle of late
Roman bronze coins (manufacture, circulation, loss and the effects
of burial) as well as their weight, fineness standards and
contemporary value. The introductory sections of the subsequent
chapters, each of which is dedicated to a short time period, cover
the history of that period and the metrology (weight, size and
metallic composition), overall pattern, and mint and field marks of
the coinage of those years. First detailed examination of the
coinage of this period by reverse design. By examining late Roman
bronze coinage through the study of reverse types, this book
provides different insights from those gained through an
examination of the coinage by Mint (as found in The Roman Imperial
Coinage series) or by emperor (as found in the Roman Coins and
their Values series). Many major numismatic works covering this
time period are out of date. This Handbook incorporates the latest
numismatic scholarship and includes extensive footnotes and
bibliography. The easy to use (indexed and cross-referenced)
catalogue entries will be of interest to collectors, cataloguers
and researchers. The historical and metrological discussions will
appeal to scholars, numismatists and students. A focus on reverse
types provides scholars working with hoards or site finds with much
greater insight into dates and other aspects of the coinage than
simply identifying the emperor.
