This book presents the emergence of the first unitary gold coinage in Western Europe: Roman gold coinage, the culmination of a centuries-old tradition. Through the physicochemical analysis of nearly 1,000 gold coins and jewelry from heritage collections, using an interdisciplinary approach, AVREVS describes the transfers of gold stocks and the issues relating to gold in the West (4th century BC - 69 AD). The AVREVS volume takes a fresh look at the history of the origins of gold coinage in Western Europe, using a comprehensive approach that was previously lacking.
