Coinage and Coin Use in Medieval Italy, Paperback / softback Book

Coinage and Coin Use in Medieval Italy Paperback / softback

Part of the Variorum Collected Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

The volume gathers together seventeen articles dedicated to the monetary history of medieval Italy, most of them newly translated into English.

The articles in the first section of the volume trace the development of monetisation in Italy from the Lombard period until the rise of the communes, taking Rome, Lazio, Tuscany, and several cities and regions in north-central Italy as case studies.

The articles in the second section analyse different aspects of monetary production and circulation in Byzantine Italy, while the third gathers together studies on various aspects of Carolingian coinage: the transition from the Lombard system and the problem of furnishing an adequate supply of silver; mints and royal administration; and the activity and inactivity of mints operating at the edges of the Regnum Italiae.

All of the articles share the author's characteristic concern with setting the evidence from written sources against the wealth of new data emerging from recent archaeological research.
