Chapters on methodology and metrology introduce statistical tools for analysing patterns of hoarding, explore the relationships between monetary reforms and hoarding practices, and address the question of value, emphasizing the need to consider the whole range of precious metal artefacts hoarded. Several chapters present regional studies, from Britain to Egypt, conveying the diversity of hoarding practices across the Empire, the differing methodological challenges they face, and the variety of topics they illuminate. The final group of chapters examines the evidence of hoarding for how long coins stayed in circulation, illustrating the importance of hoard evidence as a control on the interpretation of single coin finds, the continued circulation of Republican coins under the Empire, and the end of the small change economy in Northern Gaul.
Industry Reviews
When a well-known publisher like Oxford University Press announces a 350-page book on Coin Hoards and Hoarding in the Roman World, then not only numismatists but also classical scholars from other disciplines have to sit up and take notice. * Guenther E. Thuery,, PLEKOS, the electronic review journal of Late Antiquity *
Its vast ambition means that this volume is in many ways a place-marker-an introduction, a tentative description, and an exploration of possibilities. The project has been characterized by collective agency and flexibility, and that extends to an openness to the intellectual fruits to be garnered. * Greece & Rome *
The volume represents a milestone in the study of Roman hoards in which numismatists, ancient historians and archaeologists can find a mine of informative and noteworthy contributions. * Antonino Crisa, Classical Review *
