Ancient History from Coins (Hardcover): Christopher Howgego Ancient History from Coins (Hardcover)
Christopher Howgego
R3,877 Discovery Miles 38 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Like other volumes in this series, Ancient History from Coins demystifies a specialism, introducing students (from first year upwards) to the techniques, methods, problems and advantages of using coins to do ancient history. Coins are a fertile source of information for the ancient historian; yet too often historians are uneasy about using them as evidence because of the special problems attaching to their interpretation. The world of numismatics is not always easy for the non-specialist to penetrate or understand with confidence. Dr Howgego describes and anlyses the main contributions the study of coins can make to ancient history, showing shows through numerous examples how the character, patterns and behaviour of coinage bear on major historical themes. Topics range from state finance and economic policy to imperial domination and political propaganda through coins types. The period covered by the book is from the invention of coinage (ca 600BC) to AD 400.

Coinage and Identity in the Roman Provinces (Paperback): Christopher Howgego, Volker Heuchert, Andrew Burnett Coinage and Identity in the Roman Provinces (Paperback)
Christopher Howgego, Volker Heuchert, Andrew Burnett
R3,493 Discovery Miles 34 930 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Coins were the most deliberate of all symbols of public communal identities, yet the Roman historian will look in vain for any good introduction to, or systematic treatment of, the subject. Sixteen leading international scholars have sought to address this need by producing this authoritative collection of essays, which ranges over the whole Roman world from Britain to Egypt, from 200 BC to AD 300. The subject is approached through surveys of the broad geographical and chronological structure of the evidence, through chapters which focus on ways of expressing identity, and through regional studies which place the numismatic evidence in local context.
