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.

I could not be happier with this book or the series it's part of. I'm not a professional numismatist or historian, but this is a beautifully crafted series

I love the x2 photos! The text is engaging and informative. I have studied that period of history a lot and have other coin books on the period, but still found much new of interest. Unlike some coin books, the photos are enlarged x2 which is excellent. There are about 198 coin images, including a few maps and diagrams. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coins as Historical Source Material -
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book uses a unique approach in using ancient coins as source materials, during a critical transition period, in the era from 49 BC to AD 14. Describing the events that related directly to coinage issued under various Roman leaders and institutions, the book illustrates how coins were a reflection of those events. Excellent documentary source for the period from Caesar to Augustus.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good study of the development and use of Roman coinage during this period.
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2019
Verified Purchase
A very good book, combining an accurate description of many Roman coins with the historical background to their being issued. The illustrations are mostly good, although a few are not very clear. The bibliography is also good, except for the omission of an obviously relevant book, A Dictionary of Ancient Roman Coins, by John Melville-Jones.

Well written and informative. Provides intetesting facts related to the use of coins as propaganda as well as a means of “informing” Roman Citizens of important events. Definitely worth reading by anyone interested in Roman History and Numismatics.

Interesting historical information provided with visuals and summaries. The book sticks to relevant information from the time period. I would want another book for an earlier period in time.
