Summary
In the space of little more than a hundred years, from the Roman conquest of Gaul in the mid first century BC to the defeat of Boudicca in AD61, Britain saw the final and arguably the most impressive phase in the development of Celtic coinage. This book analyses how and why the coins were made and explains how the images they carry can reveal information on the political, economic and social life of the Celts. It is fully illustrated with some of the best examples of Celtic coinage. About the author Since 1992 Philip de Jersey has been employed at the Institute of Archaeology in Oxford to maintain and computerise the Celtic coin index, a detailed record of more than 20,000 British Celtic coins
