Taken from F. Haarer, R. Collins, K. Fitzpatrick-Matthews, S. Moorhead, D. Petts & P.

Coinage is probably the most tangible form of material culture dating to the late fourth and early fifth centuries a.d. As a result, numismatic evidence, and particularly hoards data, has played a pivotal role in dating the 'end' of Roman Britain. This article summarises the numismatic evidence for the period and illustrates how both hoards and site finds can be used to explore the chronology and nature of coin use throughout the diocese of Britannia and its apparent collapse in the post-Roman period.

This paper is the last in a series of papers on Roman coins in which I express my views on the Roman monetary system covering a period of four centuries. Originally I published the information in a book on Roman coins written in Dutch. I decided to lift some parts out of the book, translate them into English and publish the information in the form of short articles on academia.edu.

THE LATE ROMAN ECONOMY – AND COINS

Coins provide a source of information on the Roman economy which is not available in the written sources. They can be studied either as the products of the imperial administration—coins as struck, or as a reflection of coin use—coins as found. Coins as struck are well described in standard works of reference and only a few points of caution need to be added. Coins as found form an area of study that is in its early stages, and a rather basic general survey of the available information and methodology is needed. From these subjects a number of questions for further consideration can be framed.

How coin finds are changing the face of Roman Britain

The paper a presents a brief survey of the study of Roman coin finds in Britain before moving on to show how the our understanding of coin finds has been transformed since the great increase in excavation since the 2nd World War and, especially, the explosion in new finds brought to light through metal detecting and how since 1997 the Treasure Act and Portable Antiquities Scheme has been helping us systematically to record these finds and to start to interpret them.
