Book description

This volume of Medieval European Coinage traces the coinage and monetary history of Britain and Ireland in the early Middle Ages, offering the first major single-volume treatment of the subject in decades. It examines the period from the end of the Roman province of Britain in the fifth century to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 and the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in 1169–71. The volume re-evaluates the complex seventh- and eighth-century English coinages, follows the evolution of the Anglo-Saxon coinage into one of the most sophisticated monetary systems in medieval Europe, and also covers the coins issued by Viking settlers in parts of England and Ireland. Bringing recent advances in historical and numismatic research to a wider audience, this landmark volume is supported by one of the most complete catalogues of the period illustrating the world-class collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum.

Reviews

'What more is there to say about a book that actually need not be reviewed but simply bought? It is the equivalent of the black t-shirt inside every wardrobe - an essential to everyone who occasionally occupies themselves with medieval coins.'

Ursula Kampmann Source: Coins Weekly (www.coinsweekly.com)

'The volume is a comprehensive review of the historical, economic and numismatic development of coinage in Britain and Ireland from the departure of the Romans to the Norman Conquest, and its scholarly perception.'

Stewart Lyon Source: The English Historical Review
