"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 quickly to 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"
