Overview

Cities have tended throughout history to be the preferred location for the minting and circulation of coins and coinage has in turn generally reflected the importance of many of these cities.

Annius Luscus (Borja Antela-Bernardez); 4) Garrisons, coins and war stress (89-63 BCE) in Late Hellenistic towns (Toni Naco del Hoyo); 5) Agrippine la Jeune et la monnaie: de la princesse a la 'regente' (Virginie Girod); 6) The Coinage of Carthago Nova and the Roman fleet of Missenum: Imperial triumphs and local deductions (Fernando Lopez Sanchez); 7) Monuments, myth and small change in Buthrotum (Butrint) during the Early Empire (Richard Abdy); 8) Actia Nicopolis. Coinage, currency and civic identity (27 BC-AD 268) (Dario Calomino); 9) The Mint cities of the Kushan Empire (Robert Bracey); 10) Les derniers monnayages d'argent de l'antiquite tardive en Gaule du nord : les argentei au type a la Rome assise de moins de 0.9 g (Philippe Schiesser); 11) Towns and minting in Northern Europe in the Early Middle Ages (Gareth Williams).
