Description

Describes a unique source of information on the function and use of coinage in Roman Britain. Stresses the importance of considering hoards and site finds separately, and shows how the pattern of coin finds reveals the state view of coinage, concerned with valuable coin for paying debts and accounts, and the public demand for small change to allow a market system to work.
