Book description
When Gareth Harney was first given a Roman coin as a child, he became entranced by its beauty, and its unique ability to connect us with the past. He soon learned that the Romans saw coins as far more than just currency--these were metal canvases on which they immortalized their sacred gods, mighty emperors, towering monuments, and brutal battles of conquest. Revealed in those intricate designs struck in gold, silver, and bronze was the epic story of the Roman Empire. Now, with his "novel and highly readable" (Philip Matyszak, author of The Blood-Red Sunset) voice and engaging research, Harney traces ancient Rome's rise, from a few huts on an Italian hilltop to an all-conquering empire spanning three continents, through the fascinating lives of twelve remarkable coins. A unique and enthralling "combination of history and expert storytelling" (Emma Southon, author of A History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women) for all history buffs.
