description Coinage materialised empire under Rome in many ways. The topic is approached here under four headings. An empire of coinages looks at the evolving structure of coinage within the empire and the extent to which imperial forms replaced local or regional forms. An empire of money explores how money was used and controlled within the empire. An empire of monuments examines the Roman attitude to coins as circulating monuments, how imperial power was presented on the regularly changing coin types, and whether the imperial ‘messages’ on coins were targeted. Finally, The archaeology of coinage outlines some of the current debates about how to interpret coin finds in the archaeological record throughout the empire.
