Review: Hugely informative; extremely readable; excellent illustrations - I have looked at a lot of Augustus' coins and have used them as part of the A-Level, but have always had a sense of huge gaps in my knowledge: where were the mints, how many coins were struck, by who, how did provincial and imperial mints and types interact....etc etc.? This book addresses these areas through hundreds of illustrated examples (though a bit of colour wouldn't come amiss); through some theoretical discussion of the various purposes of money as fiduciary or intrinsic value; through symbolic purposes (I never knew some cities only ever minted once when founded showing the walls and buildings they hoped one day to have!) which differ with changing audiences and times (some coins circulated for centuries). There is much much more in this book too: competitive coining in the triumviral period; imitative types; how die patterns allow frequency calculations....the list goes on. I would recommend this to anyone studying coins or the period 49BCE-14CE or just interested in how we (and it turns out ancient authors too) use coins to understand the past. Review: Excellent and detailed study of this historical period . - Excellent and detailed study of this fascinating period of Roman History,well worth it and a great addition to any ones collection of books to do with ancient coins. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 687,470 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 210 in Antique & Collectable Coins, Medals & Seals 8,351 in Art History & Criticism 9,693 in Art History by Theme & Concept | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (63) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 1.47 x 21.59 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1107675693 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1107675698 | | Item weight | 363 g | | Language | English | | Part of series | Guides to the Coinage of the Ancient World | | Print length | 254 pages | | Publication date | 25 Oct. 2018 | | Publisher | Cambridge University Press | ## Images ![From Caesar to Augustus (c. 49 BC–AD 14): Using Coins as Sources (Guides to the Coinage of the Ancient World) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717ruPJeB0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hugely informative; extremely readable; excellent illustrations *by J***D on 31 March 2019* I have looked at a lot of Augustus' coins and have used them as part of the A-Level, but have always had a sense of huge gaps in my knowledge: where were the mints, how many coins were struck, by who, how did provincial and imperial mints and types interact....etc etc.?
