ROMAN NUMISMATICS

A. Introductions and Surveys

T. Mommsen, Geschichte des römischen Münzwesens (Berlin, 1860); translated with additions and corrections by the Duc de Blacas, Histoire de la monnaie romaine (Paris, 1865-1870). The French edition is the one usually cited. M. Bernhart, Handbuch zur Münzkunde der römischen Kaiserzeit (Halle, 1926). R. Göbl, Einführung in die Münzkunde der römischen Kaiserzeit (2nd ed. Vienna, 1960). K. Harl, Coinage in the Roman Economy (Baltimore, 1996) H. Mattingly, Roman Coins from the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Western Empire (2nd ed. London, 1960). R. Reece, Roman Coins (London, 1970). J. P. C. Kent, B. Overbeck, and A. U. Stylow, Die römische Münze (Munich, 1973). C. H. V. Sutherland, Roman Coins (London and New York, 1974). J. P. C. Kent, Roman Coins (London and New York, 1978). English version, with different text and slightly different illustrations, of Kent/Overbeck/Stylow. A. M. Burnett, Coinage in the Roman World (London, 1987). The most up-to-date and sensible of the lot, but unfortunately without bibliography of any kind. R. A. G. Carson, Coins of the Roman Empire (London, 1990). A chronological account combined with good chapters on technical questions. J. Melville Jones, A Dictionary of Roman Coins (London, 1990) provides useful short treatments of persons, terms, and types.

Empire

H. Cohen, Description historique des monnaies frappées sous l’empire romaine (2nd ed. Paris, 1880-1892). Teems with error, much of which has been subsumed into later literature.

Kent, Late Roman Bronze Coinage (London, 1960). Difficult to use, but indispensable for excavation purposes. Roman Numismatic Bibliography Page 2

D. Hoards and Excavations

Publications of individual hoards are scattered, mostly in periodical literature; for the Republic Crawford’s RRCH is now becoming dated, and there has never been a systematic bibliography of imperial hoards. The appendix to Duncan-Jones’s Money and Government in the Roman Empire lists hoards through A.D. 235 with a minimum value of 400 HS, but provides only limited bibliography and does not distinguish between those hoards that are published in detail and those that are not. Coin Hoards, which appeared in eight volumes, has been succeeded by an annual listing in the Numismatic Chronicle. Two series are worth consulting: Coin Hoards from Roman Britain (British Museum Press; irregular, now with 40-60 hoards per volume; some of these have separate titles and are listed below) and Trésors Monétaires (Bibliothèque Nationale de France, annual, up to 15 hoards per volume, often with detailed treatment of comparanda).
