Money and Government in the Roman Empire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521648295)

Rome's conquests gave her access to the accumulated metal resources of most of the known world. An abundant gold and silver coinage circulated within her empire as a result. But later coinage changes suggests difficulty in maintaining metal supplies. By studying Roman coin-survivals in a wider context, Dr Duncan-Jones uncovers important facts about the origin of coin hoards of the Principate. He constructs a new profile of minting, financial policy and monetary circulation, by analyzing extensive coin evidence collected for the first time. His findings advance our knowledge of crucial areas of the Roman economy.
