Representations of Roman Women on the Tokens of Rome and Ostia
This article explores the representations of imperial and non-imperial women on tokens created in Rome and Ostia, exploring what these objects reveal about imperial ideology, local culture and female euergetism. After a brief introduction to tokens as a source, the analysis begins with a discussion of the representations of imperial female family members on both bronze and lead. The representation of imperial women on tokens, which is largely a p…

Tokens and Social Life in Roman Imperial Italy
Tokens are underutilised artefacts from the ancient world, but as everyday objects they were key in mediating human interactions. This book provides an accessible introduction to tokens from Roman Italy. It explores their role in the creation of imperial imagery, as well as what they can reveal about the numerous identities that existed in different communities within Rome and Ostia. It is clear that tokens carried imagery that was connected to t…
Theoretical Approaches to Roman Imagery and Iconography
This chapter presents a selection of interdisciplinary approaches used within the study of Roman visual culture. Iconology, creolization, hybridization, and entanglement are discussed alongside the problems of ‘Romanization’. Emphasis is given to the idea that images, like objects, have a biography and live a social life. Images in this sense can have a range of meanings depending on context and user. The role of images in Roman imperialism and m…
The Imperial Image in Media of Mechanical Reproduction
This piece explores what the representation of the emperor on lead tokens can reveal about the dynamics of imperial ideology formation. In particular, I explore what effect mass (re)production had on the imperial image in the Roman world. Although representations of the emperor on large media and in important locations were often tightly controlled, on small media that were mass-produced, the image of the emperor escaped the control of the imperi…
From Caesar to Augustus (c. 49 BC–AD 14)
This unique book provides the student of Roman history with an accessible and detailed introduction to Roman and provincial coinage in the late Republic and early Empire in the context of current historical themes and debates. Almost two hundred different coins are illustrated at double life size, with each described in detail, and technical Latin and numismatic terms are explained. Chapters are arranged chronologically, allowing students to quic…
Coinage between cultures
Ambiguity, Iconology and Entangled Objects on Coinage of the Republican World
The provincial coinage of the Roman Empire has proven to be a rich source for studying civic experiences of Roman rule, but the coins struck outside Rome during the expansion of the Roman Republic have, by contrast, received relatively little attention. This article aims to begin redressing this neglect by exploring the active rôle of coinage in conceptualizing and representing Roman Republican power. A variety of approaches to this neglected mat…
Imaging the Golden Age
Given that few ancient accounts of the reign of Antoninus Pius survive from antiquity, other monuments, in particular coinage, become important in reconstructing his reign. In this article coin hoards are used to reconstruct a quantitative understanding of Pius's numismatic imagery. It is clear from the results that the three different coin metals (gold, silver and aes ) differed in their messages: while gold coinage emphasized the imperial famil…
The Profits of War and Cultural Capital
This paper uses theoretical frameworks coming from New Institutional Economics and anthropology to provide a reassessment of the methods by which Republican Rome obtained her silver. The connection between Rome’s public finances and the elite mentality of the Republic meant that war, directly or indirectly, was the shaping force in how Rome acquired her wealth. Analysis of the surviving textual and inscriptional evidence also demonstrates that th…
Coinage as commodity and bullion in the western Mediterranean, ca. 550–100 BCE
This article traces the effect of the entangled network of relations between the eastern and western Mediterranean on the introduction and development of coinage in the west. Particular focus is given to the role of Athenian owls and Corinthian-style pegasi within Sicily and Magna Graecia. Coinages from the eastern Mediterranean affected the type, form and fabric of coinage adopted by cities in the west, and formed a source of bullion for new coi…

The Public Image of the Severan Women
Coinage remains one of the best resources from which to gain an insight into the public image of empresses in the Roman Empire. This article employs a quantitative approach to the coinage of the Severan women, utilizing coin hoards to gain an idea of the frequency of particular coin types. The result offers a nuanced and contextual assessment of the differing public images of the Severan empresses and their role within wider Severan ideology. Evi…
