Book Synopsis Coinage in Iron Age Armorica by : Philip de Jersey
Download or read book Coinage in Iron Age Armorica written by Philip de Jersey and published by Oxford Univ School of Archaeology. This book was released on 1994 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeology can furnish little information on Armorican society in the middle La T�ne, and coinage represents the only significant form of evidence for this period in much of the area. This study concentrates on a contextual approach to the archaeology of Armorican coinage, and provides an archaeological and geographical background in which the coins can be placed. De Jersey places Armorica in its historic context, examining the core/periphery relationship of the Celtic and Roman worlds, the nature of the coinage evidence, and the role of coinage in the Celtic world. He then presents a three-phased model discussing Armorican coinage finds. Two extensive appendices present details of the large number of hoards found in the region, multiple deposits of coins on temple sites, and distribution maps with full bibliographic references.
Book Synopsis Coins and Power in Late Iron Age Britain by : John Creighton
Download or read book Coins and Power in Late Iron Age Britain written by John Creighton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-07-06 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cunobelin, Shakespeare's Cymbeline, ruled much of south-east Britain in the years before Claudius' legions arrived, creating the Roman province of Britannia. But what do we know of him and his rule, and that of competing dynasties in south-east Britain? This book examines the background to these, the first individuals in British history. It explores the way in which rulers bolstered their power through the use of imagery on coins, myths, language and material culture. After the visit of Caesar in 55 and 54 BC, the shadow of Rome played a fundamental role in this process. Combining the archaeological, literary and numismatic evidence, John Creighton paints a vivid picture of how people in late Iron Age Britain reacted to the changing world around them.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the European Iron Age written by Colin Haselgrove and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 1425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of the European Iron Age presents a broad overview of current understanding of the archaeology of Europe from 1000 BC through to the early historic periods, exploiting the large quantities of new evidence yielded by the upsurge in archaeological research and excavation on this period over the last thirty years. Three introductory chapters situate the reader in the times and the environments of Iron Age Europe. Fourteen regional chapters provide accessible syntheses of developments in different parts of the continent, from Ireland and Spain in the west to the borders with Asia in the east, from Scandinavia in the north to the Mediterranean shores in the south. Twenty-six thematic chapters examine different aspects of Iron Age archaeology in greater depth, from lifeways, economy, and complexity to identity, ritual, and expression. Among the many topics explored are agricultural systems, settlements, landscape monuments, iron smelting and forging, production of textiles, politics, demography, gender, migration, funerary practices, social and religious rituals, coinage and literacy, and art and design.

Book Synopsis Armorica and Britain by : Barry W. Cunliffe
Download or read book Armorica and Britain written by Barry W. Cunliffe and published by Oxford Univ School of Archaeology. This book was released on 1997 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Third in the studies in Celtic coinage series the aim of this monograph is to bring together the archaeological evidence for maritime intercourse between Armorica and southern Britain in the latter part of the Iron Age. The first section ( Cunliffe ) discusses the ceramic evidence, mainly from Hengistbury Head. It suggests an intensified exchange system that probably lasted no more than sixty years (c. 120-60 BC) and served the interests of both the Armoricans and the Wessex tribes. The second section ( de Jersey ) deals with the numismatic evidence. Some 150 Armorican coins have been documented in Britain and the gold coins from Hengistbury and the surrounding area probably arrived in the context of trade during this same period. The distribution of the coins elsewhere gives indications of the extent of the trade networks. Caesar's savage reprisals following the Gaulish revolt of 56 BC disrupted these and led refugees to seek refuge in Britain; it may be that the hoard of coins found at Mount Batten resulted from some such movement. Both sections contain a useful gazetteer.

Download or read book Iron Age and Roman Coin Hoards in Britain written by Roger Bland and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More coin hoards have been recorded from Roman Britain than from any other province of the Empire. This comprehensive and lavishly illustrated volume provides a survey of over 3260 hoards of Iron Age and Roman coins found in England and Wales with a detailed analysis and discussion. Theories of hoarding and deposition and examined, national and regional patterns in the landscape settings of coin hoards presented, together with an analysis of those hoards whose findspots were surveyed and of those hoards found in archaeological excavations. It also includes an unprecedented examination of the containers in which coin hoards were buried and the objects found with them. The patterns of hoarding in Britain from the late 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD are discussed. The volume also provides a survey of Britain in the 3rd century AD, as a peak of over 700 hoards are known from the period from AD 253–296. This has been a particular focus of the project which has been a collaborative research venture between the University of Leicester and the British Museum funded by the AHRC. The aim has been to understand the reasons behind the burial and non-recovery of these finds. A comprehensive online database (https://finds.org.uk/database) underpins the project, which also undertook a comprehensive GIS analysis of all the hoards and field surveys of a sample of them.

Book Synopsis Celtic Coinage by : Philip de Jersey
Download or read book Celtic Coinage written by Philip de Jersey and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2006 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers collected in this volume were, with a couple of exceptions, presented at a conference on Celtic coinage held at the Ashmolean Museum and the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford, on 6th - 7th December 2001. With seventeen speakers and an audience of ninety, this was by far the largest gathering devoted specifically to Celtic numismatics since the 1989 Oxford, and indeed must have been one of the largest meetings devoted to Celtic coinage ever to have taken place.
