First Published in 2001. Coinage and History of the Roman Empire is an invaluable study in the fields of Roman history and numismatics. Current scholarship is invoked throughout as a corrective to other published sources: hundreds f significat updates in chronology, historical perspective and numismatic attribution make this book indispensable. The book consists of two volumes: volume one, History; volume two: Coinage. The 550-year period covered- The Imperatorial Age: c. 82-27 B.C; and The Roman Empire: 27 B.C to A.D 480- is divided into twelve epochs, each prefaced with an overview of the period's social and historical developments. Coinage and History of the Roman Empire is fully illustrated (including family trees, tables, maps) and includes an extensive bibliography as well alphabetical and chronological indexes.

"The period covered by this book-- from Julius Caesar to Vespasian-- is richly documented (in addition to Augustus' own Res Gestae) by the historians Tacitus, Suetonius, Dio Cassius, and Velleius. It also saw the development of the profuse Roman imperial coinage. The ancient historians presented a generally personal view of the events which they recorded for these years: the coinage, itself full of succinct historical references, gives us a governmental view. The book compares these two streams of historical record in relation to fifty events, common to both, for which the ancient historians are cited (and translated) in full and the relevant coins (all described and mostly illustrated) are critically discussed. Simply because it was the product of governmental agency, the coinage is seen to constitute a valuable source-material in its own right." --
