  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • Anglo-Norman Money Names in Context
    94 kalbų studijos / studies about languages no. 32 / 2018 SAL 32/2018 Anglo-Norman Money Anglo-Norman Money Names in Names in Context Context Received 12/2017 Anglų-normanų pinigų Accepted 05/2018 pavadinimai kontekste SOCIOLINGUISTICS / SOCIOLINGVISTIKA Natalya Davidko PhD, associated professor, Moscow Institute Touro (MIT), Russia. http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.sal.0.32.19597 The present study is the second in a series of inquiries into the specificity of money names in the history of English. The time frame is the Anglo-Norman period (1066–1500). The paper explores two distinct concepts – that of money as an abstract ideal construct and the concept of the coin represented by sets of nummular tokens. The centrality of cognitive concepts allows us to establish a link between socio-historical factors and actuation of naming, i. e., to study medieval onomasiological patterns in all complexity of social, cognitive, political, and ideological aspects. Semiotic study of Anglo-Norman coinage gives an insight into the meaning of messages Kings of England and France tried to communicate to each other and their subjects through coin iconography employing a set of elaborate images based on culturally preferred symbolic elements. By studying references to medieval coinage in various literary genres, we propose to outline some of the contours of new metaphoricity based on the concept of money and new mercantile ideology. KEYWORDS: Anglo-Norman, trilingualism, culture, cognitive narratology, onomasiological patterns, money symbolism, semiotics, concept of the coin, mercantile ideology. On earth there is a little thing, Sir Penny is his name, we’re told, That reigns as does the richest king He compels both young and old In this and every land; To bow unto his hand.

  • Faberge<0301>
    FABERG É COLLECTION Tiles inspired by the works of Carl Fabergé The Golden age of Fabergé The legendary Fabergé Easter eggs were the creation of Carl Fabergé, goldsmith by special appointment to the Imperial Crown of Russia until 1917. The custom of giving these precious gifts began in 1885 when Czar Alexander III presented the fi rst egg to his wife Empress Marie Feodorovna in 1885, an annual tradition continued by his son Nicholas II. Fabergé and his company were commissioned to create ever more sumptuous eggs, intricate jewellery and gifts such as ornamental picture frames and enamelled gold and silver gilt boxes. Front cover: 1912 Tsarevich Egg presented by Nicholas II to Alexandra Feodorovna The Fabergé Collection An inspired tile collection Fabergé learnt his considerable skills from his father and goldsmiths in England, Germany and France. During travels as a young man he forged a fascination with Ancient Greece, Rome, and the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Artistic and architectural elements from these eras greatly infl uenced his work: fl eur de lis, wreaths, crowns and swags are frequently used in his highly embellished objects d’art. Taking inspiration from the beauty of Faberge’s creations, we have now produced the Fabergé Collection of tiles and borders that echo those beautiful and classic elements. The designs, traced in Charcoal Grey on a highly refl ective Colonial White background, are completed with exceptionally fi ne detail, with defi nition unmatched by any tiles we have yet created. Just take a look through a magnifying glass! Add your own individual touch There is also an opportunity for you to personalise the collection by adding your own initials in a beautiful, matching script within a cartouche, to perfectly fi t in a border or fi eld of tiles.

  • What Is Money?
    What is Money? Why Money At some level, we all know what money is. It's the number attached to our bank accounts and stock portfolios that tells us what we can buy and when we can retire - measured in something like Dollars, Euros, Yen, or Pounds. Well, not quite. Those are currencies, different from money in that they have no "intrinsic value." We'll come back to that. For now we will examine money specifically but many of the considerations for money and currency are the same. In broad academic terms, money (or currency) is something like "a distributed medium that transmits information about value and scarcity over time." It is what gives everything a price, and allows one to price everything in terms of everything else. Historically, money has been gold and silver. To really understand money, though, or why it was historically gold and silver, it is useful to think through the implications of using other things in that role. Let's imagine we're a baker in a world with no money. What immediate problems do we have? Well, we have needs to produce our primary good, bread let's say, but no means to store the value of our labor across time. That is, if we make a loaf of bread, we have to trade it for whatever the person who needs a loaf of bread has to trade. Or, if we need flour, we have to hope that whoever has flour wants some of our day old bread. In short, we are in a bartering system, and each transaction we make carries with it a cost of transaction in that we may not have what our suppliers need, or need what our customers have.

  • A Chartalist View of Numismatics (Fundaments and Necessities of the Discipline 30 Years After the Work by Peter Spufford: Money and Its Use in Medieval Europe)
    A CHARTALIST VIEW OF NUMISMATICS (FUNDAMENTS AND NECESSITIES OF THE DISCIPLINE 30 YEARS AFTER THE WORK BY PETER SPUFFORD: MONEY AND ITS USE IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE) XAVIER SANAHUJA-ANGUERA SOCIETAT CATALANA D’ESTUDIS NUMISMÀTICS SpaIN Date of receipt: 13th of July, 2016 Final date of acceptance: 7th of November, 2016 ABSTRACT From a chartalist, non-monetarist starting point, the author analyses basic concepts of numismatics and the history of money, auxiliary disciplines of History, focussing on the medieval epoch and indicating its shortcoming in Catalonia and Spain.1 KEYWORDS Chartalism, Coin, Currency, Monetarism, Money, Numismatics. CapitaLIA VERBA Chartalismus, Moneta, Nummus, Monetarismus, Pecunia, Nummismatica. IMAGO TEMPORIS. MEDIUM AEVUM, XI (2017): 53-93 / ISSN 1888-3931 / DOI 10.21001/itma.2017.11.02 53 54 XAVIER SANAHUJA-ANGUERA 1. Definitions and prior considerations in numismatics and currency11 1.1 Numismatics, a scientific discipline Numismatics is the auxiliary discipline of history responsible for the study of currency systems, coins and other examples of official tender over history. Secondly, numismatics also studies those objects that have morphological (medals, getons) or functional (tokens, vouchers) similitudes with money. Because of its character as an auxiliary discipline, numismatics needs to be approached with a scientific method. Coins are historical documents that must be studied and defined with scientific criteria before being used for historical interpretation. With this, I refer to a certain currency produced in a specific year, that circulated until another year, which was worth a certain amount, that people paid for with a mark-up that was so and so, etc. These are indisputable data.
