Carnuntum, well known for a long time as one of the most important find-spots of Roman coins in Europe, has repeatedly attracted the interest of numismatic scholarship. This volume presents the results of a major research project of the Austrian Academy’s Numismatic Commission, during which nearly 40.000 coins from Carnuntum in the collection of the Museum Carnuntinum at Bad Deutsch-Altenburg were recorded and analysed. In addition to the catalogue of the material which comes on CD-Rom, the most essential questions about the coin finds of Carnuntum are discussed in eleven substantial articles. The core of the publication is a statistical analysis of the material, which is unparalleled until now in respect to the size of the sample. Further major contributions partially reach far beyond the local aspect. One chapter sets the coin hoards from Carnuntum into the context of the whole region and sheds new light on the question of the connection between hoarding and the incursions of the Marcomanni in the second century A.D. Another chapter of the book is dedicated to the history and coinage of the short-lived imperial couple Regalianus and Dryantilla. A special feature of Carnuntum and the Middle Danube region as a whole are the so-called Limesfalsa and iron core copies, which are studied adequately here for the first time. Supplementary contributions deal with the local pre-Roman monetary history, with republican coins in imperial contexts, the influx of eastern provincial coinage and with the coin circulation in the post-Roman period. more...
