  • Monthly Prices of Grains in Gdańsk in the 18 Century Mikołaj Malinowski
    Historical Prices and Wages at www.iisg.nl/hpw/ Monthly Prices of Grains in Gdańsk in the 18th Century Mikołaj Malinowski [email protected] Basic Information The file contains monthly information on the lowest and the highest prices of the four grains – wheat, rye, barley and oats – in Gdańsk between 1703 and 1793. The information was obtained from Tadeusz Furtak’s Ceny w Gdańsku w latach 1701-1815, published in Lwów in 1938. The importance of this file, in comparison with the already available annual data for this period, is the fact that it shows monthly observations. In addition, most of the observations present both the minimum and the maximum price for a commodity at a given point in time. Those two features of the new dataset are crucial for any future quantitative research, as it not only provides 12 times more information, but also allows for study of seasonality and short-term price fluctuations. In his seminal work, Tadeusz Furtak gathered prices of a vast amount of commodities traded in Gdańsk. In his research in The National Archive of Gdańsk and the Gdańsk city library he found appropriate material in various sources, such as: bills of the city council; bills of hospitals and prisons; journals like “Exchange Warsaw Journal” (Dziennik Handlowy Warszawski) and “Thornishe Nachrichten”. The bills were however the main source for his work, which poses several problems. According to Furtak himself, the material he used was disorganized; prices were often indicated in different currencies; they represented not only different values of different volumes of the same good, but even different kinds of the same commodity.

  • Gold, Silver and the Double-Florin
    GOLD, SILVER AND THE DOUBLE-FLORIN G.P. DYER 'THERE can be no more perplexing coin than the 4s. piece . .'. It is difficult, perhaps, not to feel sympathy for the disgruntled Member of Parliament who in July 1891 expressed his unhappiness with the double-florin.1 Not only had it been an unprecedented addition to the range of silver currency when it made its appearance among the Jubilee coins in the summer of 1887, but its introduction had also coincided with the revival after an interval of some forty years of the historic crown piece. With the two coins being inconveniently close in size, weight and value (Figure 1), confusion and collision were inevitable and cries of disbelief greeted the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Goschen, when he claimed in the House of Commons that 'there can hardly be said to be any similarity between the double florin and the crown'.2 Complaints were widespread and minting of the double-florin ceased in August 1890 after scarcely more than three years. Its fate was effectively sealed shortly afterwards when an official committee on the design of coins, appointed by Goschen, agreed at its first meeting in February 1891 that it was undesirable to retain in circulation two large coins so nearly similar in size and value and decided unanimously to recommend the withdrawal of the double- florin.3 Its demise passed without regret, The Daily Telegraph recalling a year or two later that it had been universally disliked, blessing neither him who gave nor him who took.4 As for the Fig.

  • Currency, Bullion and Accounts. Monetary Modes in the Roman World
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography 1 Currency, bullion and accounts. Monetary modes in the Roman world Koenraad Verboven in Belgisch Tijdschrift voor Numismatiek en Zegelkunde/ Revue Belge de Numismatique et de Sigillographie 155 (2009) 91-121 Finley‟s assertion that “money was essentially coined metal and nothing else” still enjoys wide support from scholars1. The problems with this view have often been noted. Coins were only available in a limited supply and large payments could not be carried out with any convenience. Travelling with large sums in coins posed both practical and security problems. To quote just one often cited example, Cicero‟s purchase of his house on the Palatine Hill for 3.5 million sesterces would have required 3.4 tons of silver denarii2. Various solutions have been proposed : payments in kind or by means of bullion, bank money, transfer of debt notes or sale credit. Most of these combine a functional view of money („money is what money does‟) with the basic belief that coinage in the ancient world was the sole dominant monetary instrument, with others remaining „second-best‟ alternatives3. Starting from such premises, research has focused on identifying and assessing the possible alternative instruments to effectuate payments. Typical research questions are for instance the commonness (or not) of giro payments, the development (or underdevelopment) of financial instruments, the monetary nature (or not) of ancient debt notes, the commonness (or not) of payments in kind, and so forth. Despite Ghent University, Department of History 1 M.

I’m conscious that in speaking here today I’m treading in the footsteps of some very notable numismatists, but right now the historic name that rings most loudly in my consciousness is that of the former Curator of the coin collection here and then Lecturer in Numismatics in the University, Michael Hendy.

  • Experimental Investigation of Silvering in Late Roman Coinage
    Mat. Res. Soc. Symp. Proc. Vol. 712 © 2002 Materials Research Society Experimental investigation of silvering in late Roman coinage C. Vlachou, J.G. McDonnell, R.C. Janaway Department of Archaeological Sciences, University of Bradford, BD7 1DP, UK. ABSTRACT Roman Coinage suffered from severe debasement during the 3rd century AD. By 250 AD., the production of complex copper alloy (Cu-Sn-Pb-Ag) coins with a silvered surface, became common practice. The same method continued to be applied during the 4th century AD for the production of a new denomination introduced by Diocletian in 293/4 AD. Previous analyses of these coins did not solve key technological issues and in particular, the silvering process. The British Museum kindly allowed further research at Bradford to examine coins from Cope’s Archive in more detail, utilizing XRF, SEM-EDS metallography, LA-ICP-MS and EPMA. Metallographic and SEM examination of 128 coins, revealed that the silver layer was very difficult to trace because its thickness was a few microns and in some cases it was present under the corrosion layer. Results derived from the LA-ICP-MS and EPMA analyses have demonstrated, for the first time, the presence of Hg in the surface layers of these coins. A review of ancient sources and historic literature indicated possible methods which might have been used for the production of the plating. A programme of plating experiments was undertaken to examine a number of variables in the process, such as amalgam preparation, and heating cycles. Results from the experimental work are presented. ITRODUCTION Coinage in the Late Roman Period suffered from severe debasement.

But success has been less frequent, because the knowledge of coins is essentially a knowledge of details, and small treatises are apt to be un- readable when they contain too many references to particular coins, and unprofltably vague when such references are avoided. I cannot hope that I have passed safely between these two dangers ; indeed, my desire has been to avoid the second at all risk of encountering the former. At the same time it may be said that this book is not meant for the collector who desires only to identify the coins which he happens to possess, while caring little for the wider problems of history, art, mythology, and religion, to which coins sometimes furnish the only key.

Mattingly notes, “Cyprus . lay just outside of the main currents of life.” A population unused to political independence or democratic institutions did not find Roman rule oppressive. Radiate Divus Augustus and laureate Tiberius on c. 15.6g Cypriot dupondius - triobol. In c. 15-16 AD the laureate head of Tiberius was paired with Livia seated right (RPC 3919, as) and paired with that of Divus Augustus (RPC 3917 and 3918 dupondii). Both types are copied from Roman Imperial types of the early reign of Tiberius. For his son Drusus, hemiobols were struck with the reverse designs begun by late in the reign of Cleopatra: Zeus Salaminios and the Temple of Aphrodite at Paphos. In addition, a reverse with both of these symbols was struck. Drusus obverse was paired with either Zeus Salaminios, or Temple of Aphrodite reverses, as well as this reverse that shows both. (4.19g) Conical black stone found in 1888 near the ruins of the temple of Aphrodite at Paphos, now in the Museum of Kouklia.
