The City and the Coin in the Ancient and Early Medieval Worlds - Paperback

by Fernando López Sánchez (Editor)

Cities have tended throughout history to be the preferred location for the minting and circulation of coins and coinage has in turn generally reflected the importance of many of these cities. This work, a collection of eleven contributions, explores the relationship between cities and coinage during the extended period beginning in the third century BC and continuing up to the tenth century AD.
