Groundbreaking collection of articles - drawing upon recent
advances in both discovery techniques and classification systems -
centred upon the study of early Anglo-Saxon coinage and its
iconography. Recent years have seen increasing interest being taken
by both scholars and enthusiasts in the remarkable iconography of
early Anglo-Saxon coinage. During this period there was a
remarkable diversity of intentionally ambiguous imagery conflating
the various traditions then extant in England, and indeed the sheer
quantity of types produced in post-Roman Britain prior to the
establishment of a clear political hierarchy has often been
regarded as a daunting hurdle for scholarly research. Although this
wealth of material has long been available, recent advances in both
discovery techniques and classification systems have seen a renewal
of interest in these largely neglected artefacts.This volume draws
upon these advances to establish a new benchmark for the study of
coin typologies. Going beyond the traditional studies of moneyers,
mint marks and monarchs, these essays draw upon the imagery present
upon the coins themselves to offer new insights into Anglo-Saxon
art and society.
