Roman Imperial Coinage. Volume I
Roman History and Coinage
The period from Julius Caesar to Vespasian has been richly documented by the ancient historians Tacitus, Suetonius, Dio Cassius, and Velleius. While the historians generally recorded their personal views of the events that unfolded in this period, the highly detailed, profuse Roman coinage of the time presents a governmental view. This book compares the two media of historical record in relation to fifty events, common to both, for which the anci…
Some Political Notions in Coin Types between 294 and 313
Within the next few years greater attention will be given to a period of Roman Imperial coinage which, apart from special and isolated studies, has so far lacked a broad and balanced treatment. The completion, now near, of volumes VI, VII and VIII of ‘Mattingly-Sydenham’ will fill the large and difficult gap between the end of the third century and Pearce's volume IX, i.e. from c. 294 to 364. For the earlier Empire the great sequence of British M…
Denarius and Sestertius in Diocletian's Coinage Reform
Widely ranging arguments, and often equally wide perplexity, have now for a long time been aroused by the internal monetary problems of Diocletian's coinage reform, as a glance at any recent bibliography will show. Two primary factors connected with the reform are now generally recognized: first, that gold and silver coins of the reformed series were marked with their weight as bullion by numerals which defined them as fractions, respectively, of…
The Silver Content of Diocletian's Early Post‐reform Copper Coins
The Intelligibility of Roman Imperial Coin Types
If any ancient historian—either Greek or Roman—made any systematic comment on the principles observed in the choice of coin types in the classical world his account has not come down to us. Aristotle, indeed, in his Politics , made a theoretical reference to coin types when he wrote ὁ γὰρ χαρακτὴρ ἐτέθη τοῦ ποσοῦ σημεῖον. This reference, though it is of characteristic Aristotelian brevity, in reality goes beyond the theory and implies the almost …

Diocletian's Reform of the Coinage
Diocletian's reform of the coinage included the following elements :— (1) The raising of the weight of gold coins from a norm of about 70–72 to the Roman pound to one of 60 to the Roman pound. (2) The abandonment of the silver-washed coin now known as the antoninianus and its replacement by a silver coin of the weight of Nero's reduced denarius , i.e. at a rate of 96 to the Roman pound. (3) The introduction of the so-called follis —a copper coin …

C. Baebius and the Coinage of (?)Dium under Tiberius
The small and compact series of aes coins on which appear the names of C · BAEBIVS · P · F ·, L · RVSTICELIVS · BASTERNA ·, and L·RVSTICELIVS· CORDVS as duoviri quinquennales has always presented difficulties, chief among them being the question of the mint at which they were struck. Of the early numismatists, Sestini was the first to give these coins serious consideration: ninety years later Imhoof-Blumer described the series at length, and (inf…
Claudius and the Senatorial Mint
The object of this note is to call attention to a passage in Professor A. Momigliano's Claudius: the Emperor and his Achievement (Oxford, 1934), which appears to stand in need of correction. This duty is all the more necessary because the book—a model of scholarly and concise writing, not easily to be emulated—has rightly won so highly authoritative and influential a place among students. The passage in question is to be found in p. 40 f., as fol…
A Theodosian Silver Hoard from Rams Hill
A small but interesting find of Roman coins was made recently by Mr. Stuart Piggott during his examination of the site at Rams Hill, near Uffington, described in the preceding paper; and I may here recapitulate his description of the discovery. Two adult skeletons were found, buried one above the other, in a ditch which appeared to belong to an enclosure of the Ditchley–Wootton–Fawler–Kiddington type, and of which three sides were defined, sugges…
Two ‘Virtues’ of Tiberius
Mr. M. P. Charlesworth's Raleigh Lecture, ‘The Virtues of a Roman Emperor: Propaganda and the Creation of Belief,’ serves admirably to illuminate a new aspect of the history of the Roman Empire, in which the debt of pure history to numismatics (and notably to the work of Mr. Mattingly in the British Museum Catalogues ) will be plain. From the numismatic point of view there is, indeed, one curious omission in Mr. Charlesworth's argument; and attem…

The State of the Imperial Treasury at the Death of Domitian
In volume xx of the Journal (pp. 55–70) there appeared an article by Mr. Syme on the imperial finances under Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. Briefly, his object was to shift on to the shoulders of Nerva the financial embarrassment often attributed to the reign of Domitian, and also to strive for a fairer recognition in general of Domitian's qualities. The following notes deal with some of the principal points at issue, and attempt a reconsideration o…
Aspects of Imperialism in Roman Spain
The two following notes deal with parallel and interrelated aspects of imperial policy noticeable in Spain after the institution of the Principate, namely, the attitude of the provincials to the Princeps and his house, and the survival of Nationalism. Under the first head are included both religious and non-religious institutions, showing in each case not only the reactions of the Spanish provincials to the Principate but also the personal effort…
