Roman Money and Coinage
HIST-H605/705 with Professor Elliott
The invention of coinage brought changes that redirected the course of the ancient Mediterranean societies; changes that still echo in modern society. Our course explores how money and coinage transformed the Roman world, but also how Roman culture transformed money and coinage. We examine the way in which coinage reflected Roman culture, religion, society and politics as well as the way in which coinage itself made history by influencing individuals and institutions. Understanding the ways Romans used money--as media for exchange, status and ideas--offers unique insights into Roman society and culture.
