Roman coins and archaeology, Collected papers
Richard Reece
Richard Reece first worked on Roman coins as a schoolboy of 16 and his
first publications of coins from an excavation were those of a student (of
Biochemistry). As a teacher of Chemistry he worked on the 56,000 coins from the
Roman shore-fort at Richborough in Kent (UK). Then as teacher of Archaeology in
the Institute of Archaeology in London from 1970 to 1999 he worked on a series
of studies of Roman coins from excavations in Britain and abroad. Many of these
papers were published in conference volumes, in Festschriften, or in British
periodicals which are not always available today.
Over the years he has developed a method of looking at coins found on
excavations so that the coins have become an essential part of archaeological
analysis. But the study has also involved looking at the coins themselves in an
effort to extract the maximum information from them. The methods have changed
and developed over time so it was thought a good idea to gather together some of
the most useful papers so that those newly interested in Roman coinage could
read the papers together and those who had already read some papers could fill
in the gaps.
The book contains 38 papers published from 1971 to 1999.
