Originally published in 1950, this book describes the relationship between important 'anniversary years' and the creation of Roman Imperial coins and medallions. The text was written by the renowned British classicist and numismatist Michael Grant (1914-2004). Numerous illustrative figures are included and detailed notes are incorporated throughout.

In this 1968 study, Michael Grant examines how Rome used currency to inform direct or deceive public opinion and considers the results of this exploitation. He masters his difficult and complex subject matter, producing a brief exposition of it in a manner suitable for the general reader and specialist alike.

Grant shows us how the historians of antiquity routinely try to deceive, but he argues for the continuing vital importance of their work, and offers new ways of reading and interpreting it. An indispensible guide to using source-material.

The Antonines played a crucial part in the development of the Roman Empire, controlling its huge machine for half a century of its most testing period. Michael Grant answers social and political issues with clarity and skill.
