Description
AN INVENTORY OF ROMANO-BRITISH COINS by Anne S Robertson
PROFESSOR ANNE ROBERTSON BRINGS TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME RECORDS OF OVER 1,900 COIN HOARDS FROM ROMAN BRITAIN. THE ENTRIES FOR EACH HOARD INCLUDE TRANSCRIPTIONS FROM THEIR ORIGINAL SOURCES, REFLECTING THE AUTHOR'S IMMENSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND THE SHEER PERSISTENCE OF THE REASEARCH. THE AUTHOR SEARCHED THROUGH EVERY CONCEIVABLE POTENTIAL SOURCE OF INFORMATION ON ROMAN HOARDS, FROM COUNTY JOURNALS TO MAJOR ANTIQUARIAN STUDIES, BESIDES EXAMINING IN PERSON COINS FROM HOARDS IN MUSEUM COLLECTIONS. THIS VOLUME THEREFORE IS A VITAL REFERENCE SOURCE FOR NUMISMATIC, ECONOMIC AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH INTO ROMAN BRITAIN. THERE ARE ALSO EXTENSIVE MAPS TRACKING THE CHANGING DISTRIBUTION OF COIN HOARDS.
