Description:
Early Anglo-Saxon coinage, its imagery and development, has recently been the subject of renewed study amongst scholars and collectors leading to the establishment of a biennial Symposium dedicated to the subject. The growth of material available for study, combined with analytical approach now be applied to research in this area, has enabled scholars to shed new light upon what was, for many decades, a long overlooked area of study. Studies in Early Medieval Coinage 2 builds upon the recent advances to establish a new benchmark for the study of coin typologies. Going beyond the traditional studies of moneyers, mint marks and monarchs, these collected essays, by many of the leading scholars currently working in the field, draw upon the imagery present upon the coins themselves to offer new insights into Anglo-Saxon art and society.Based upon the proceedings of the second biennial Sceattas Symposium, which was held as part of the International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds in 2008, Studies in Early Medieval Coinage collects together much of the current research in these fascinating examples of Anglo-Saxon material culture. Combined with information on ground breaking new discoveries, and including the first section of the long awaited early numismatic bibliography, this series is expanding to become an invaluable resource to scholars, institutions and collectors.
