All questions and comments relating to the operation of this sale or to its content should be addressed to Morton & Eden Ltd. and not to Sotheby’s. Important Information for Buyers All lots are offered subject to Morton & Eden Ltd.’s Conditions of Business and to reserves. Estimates are published as a guide only and are subject to review. The actual hammer price of a lot may well be higher or lower than the range of figures given and there are no fixed “starting prices”. A Buyer’s Premium of 15% is applicable to all lots in this sale. Excepting lots sold under ‘Temporary Import’ rules which are marked with the symbol ‡ (see below), the Buyer’s Premium is subject to VAT at the standard rate (currently 17½%). Lots are offered for sale under the auctioneer’s margin scheme and VAT on the Buyer’s Premium is payable by all buyers. Lots marked with the symbol ‡ have been imported from outside the European Union (EU) to be sold at auction under Temporary Importation Rules. When released to buyers within the EU, including the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay import VAT at the rate of 5% on both the hammer price and the Buyer’s Premium. In effect this means that the invoice total for most EU buyers, including the Buyer’s Premium, will be at the level of the hammer price + 20.75% (i.e just over 3% higher than the rate of 17.625% which typically applies to lots sold under the domestic Auctioneer’s Margin VAT scheme). Buyers outside the EU will not be required to pay temporary import VAT provided that satisfactory documentary evidence of exportation is obtained. Further information on this matter is available on request.

    Detail of a silver denarius from the Museum collection, decorated with the head of Pax (or Venus), 36–29 BCE. PM object 29-126-864. 12 EXPEDITION Volume 60 Number 2 Like a Bad Penny Ancient Numismatics in the Modern World by jane sancinito numismatics (pronounced nu-mis-MAT-ics) is the study of coins, paper money, tokens, and medals. More broadly, numismatists (nu-MIS-ma-tists) explore how money is used: to pay for goods and services or to settle debts. Ancient coins and their contexts—including coins found in archaeological excavations—not only provide us with information about a region’s economy, but also about historical changes throughout a period, the beliefs of a society, important leaders, and artistic and fashion trends. EXPEDITION Fall 2018 13 LIKE A BAD PENNY Modern Problems, Ancient Origins Aegina and Athens were among the earliest Greek cities My change is forty-seven cents, a quarter, two dimes, to adopt coinage (ca. 7th century BCE), and both quickly and two pennies, one of them Canadian. Despite the developed imagery that represented them. Aegina, the steaming tea beside me, the product of a successful island city-state, chose a turtle, while on the mainland, exchange with the barista, I’m cranky, because, strictly Athens put the face of its patron deity, Athena, on the front speaking, I’ve been cheated. Not by much of course, (known as the obverse) and her symbols, the owl and the not enough to complain, but I recognize, albeit belat- olive branch, on the back (the reverse). They even started edly, that the Canadian penny isn’t money, not even in using the first three letters of their city’s name,ΑΘΕ , to Canada, where a few years ago they demonetized their signify: this is ours, we made this, and we stand behind it.

  • 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. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. 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.

  • 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.

  • The Monetary History of the East Mediterranean in the Middle Ages As Judged from Imitated Coins
    The Monetary History of the East Mediterranean in the Middle Ages as Judged from Imitated Coins Hiroshi KATO and Michiya NISHIMURA Introduction The Arab–Islamic powers emerged in the 7th century. After that, the East Mediterranean was divided into three civilizational–political circles, Greek–Orthodoxy (Byzantine Empire), Latin–Catholic (Frankish Empire and its successors), and Arab–Islam (Islamic dynasties). These three circles developed their own distinctive monetary systems, but they were both opposed to and interconnected with each other. This paper aims to explain some features of these opposing but interconnected monetary systems in the East Mediterranean during the Middle Ages, which we define as the period between the emergence of the Arab–Islamic powers in the 7th century and the rise of Italian city-states in the 15th century. 1. Conceptual framework The conceptual framework of our research is shown by the triangle comprising the state, and international and local markets in Figure 1. Monetary affairs are complicated phenomena in which economic activities in apparently separate international and local markets are in reality closely linked with each other. However, monetary affairs in the international and local markets could be distinguished and be dealt with separately, at least in theory. The key concept of our research is the imitated coin. In history, coinages have been imitated in two respects: imitation of design and manipulation of intrinsic value (fineness and/ or weight). Based on the dichotomic theory of monetary origin, the state vs. the market, the imitated coins reflect the delicate relationship between the supplier of coin, the state or local community, and its user, the market.

  • The Economic Centrality of Urban Centers in the Medieval Peloponnese: Late 11Th–Mid-14Th Centuries
    land Article The Economic Centrality of Urban Centers in the Medieval Peloponnese: Late 11th–Mid-14th Centuries Katerina Ragkou Department of Byzantine Studies, University of Cologne, 50923 Köln, Germany; [email protected] Received: 29 October 2018; Accepted: 28 November 2018; Published: 7 December 2018 Abstract: The Peloponnese, a province of the Byzantine Empire in the 11th and 12th centuries, was divided into three distinct political entities after 1204: the Frankish Principality of Achaia, the Venetian colonies of Modon and Coron, and the Byzantine lands in the southeast. The number and size of cities in the Peloponnese during the 11th and 12th centuries expanded, and the establishment of the new political entities of the 13th century did not hinder the development of its urban centers. New urban centers appeared, and the dynamics of the old urban centers witnessed a major shift. The focus of this paper is on port towns, since the majority of the available data derive from them, and aims to investigate the economic centrality of the port towns in the Peloponnese in the context of their environs, economic activities, and their position in the eastern Mediterranean exchange system. The theoretical framework is based on concepts of network theory, centrality, and economic complexity, as well as on a thorough evaluation of the material and textual evidence. In doing so, the economic profile of each central place is reconstructed, as well as a comparison between them. Keywords: byzantine and medieval Peloponnese; byzantine and medieval port towns; central place theory; networks; economy; trade links 1. Introduction The late 11th and mid-14th centuries in the medieval Eastern Mediterranean are marked by the cultural and economic transformation of the societies living on its shores.
