| Description: | Select Guide Rating Aimed at undergraduate students studying the history of the late Roman Republic and the Principate of Augustus. With almost two hundred coins illustrated and explained, the book provides a self-contained guide to all the relevant numismatic evidence for this period and connects coinage to broader historical debates. This unique book provides the student of Roman history with an accessible and detailed introduction to Roman and provincial coinage in the late Republic and early Empire in the context of current historical themes and debates. Almost two hundred different coins are illustrated at double life size, with each described in detail, and technical Latin and numismatic terms are explained. Chapters are arranged chronologically, allowing students to quickly identify material relevant to Julius Caesar, the second triumvirate, the relationship between Antony and Cleopatra, and the Principate of Augustus. Iconography, archaeological contexts, and the economy are clearly presented. A diverse array of material is brought together in a single volume to challenge and enhance our understanding of the transition from Republic to Empire. |
