   This book puts the coinage of the Roman period in Britain into perspective of the economic and political events of the time. After outlining the currency system of the Empire from the first century to the fourth and investigating the factors which influenced the volume of coinage issued by the state and the occasions on which it was issued, the author considers the way in which the coinage found on Roman sites in Britain conforms to or deviates from this imperial pattern. This book is aimed at the practising archaeologist as well as the general student and emphasis is placed on the need to understand the overall pattern of coin production and use in the Roman period before deductions are made about the chronology and occupation of the individual sites. Almost all the commonest Roman coins found in Britain are illustrated at actual size.
