Coin Register 2015 COIN REGISTER 2015 EDITED BY MARTIN ALLEN, VINCENT DROST, SAM MOORHEAD AND JOHN NAYLOR COIN Register is an annual survey of single finds of Iron Age, Roman, medieval and post- medieval coins and tokens found in England and Wales, using data from the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), Celtic Coin Index (CCI), and Corpus of Early Medieval Coin Finds (EMC), and other sources. The editors would be very grateful to be notified of any finds that might be included in Coin Register. All Celtic, pre-conquest Roman, Roman silver prior to AD 64, Roman gold and late Roman silver coins from the fourth century onwards are welcomed, as are Anglo- Saxon, Norman or Plantagenet coins and their continental contemporaries (down to and including the Cross-and-Crosslets (Tealby) type of Henry II), and most later medieval continen- tal coins. However, finds outside these categories will still be considered for their numismatic interest. As always, the essential criterion for inclusion will be that the coin is new, by virtue of either being newly found or (if previously discovered) being hitherto unpublished. Single finds from archaeological excavations may be included if it seems that there would otherwise be a considerable delay in publication. Finds of Iron Age, Greek and Roman coins should be notified to Dr Sam Moorhead, c/o Department of Coins and Medals, British Museum, London WC1B 3DG (smoorhead@the britishmuseum.ac.uk). Other material should be sent to Dr Martin Allen, Department of Coins and Medals, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge CB2 1RB ([email protected]). The Iron Age, Greek and Roman coins have been edited by Sam Moorhead and Vincent Drost, and Martin Allen and John Naylor are responsible for the surveys of medieval and post-medieval finds.

  • 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.
