Roman Imperial Coinage Volume V Part 5: Carausius and Allectus
by Sam Moorhead
£195.00
It is almost 100 years since the coinages of Carausius and Allectus were covered by Percy Webb in Roman Imperial Coinage Volume V, Part 2. Since then Volume V of the series has been re-divided into five parts, with this brand new Part V covering these coinages during the period AD 286-296. It comes in two volumes, with a new organisation of the material reflecting our better understanding of the structures of the coinages.
Due to the enormous number of new types which have been found since 1933, the catalogue has well over 2,500 extra entries which are illustrated on 176 plates. The provision of a firmer chronology for the various issues will assist the research of numismatists, historians and archaeologists.
Furthermore, a clearer outline of the types employed, especially for Carausius, will enable more detailed study of the rich symbolism of the coinages.
Hardback, jacketed, in two volumes
Volume 1: Introduction and Catalogue (712pp)
