Review Quotes:
"Fantastic...a brilliant combination of history and expert storytelling - if anyone reads the first five pages, they'll be up all night with it." --Conn Iggulden, bestselling author of the Emperor series
Review Quotes:
"A novel and highly readable approach to Roman history. The author's enthusiasm shines through on every page." --Philip Matyszak, author of A History of Ancient Rome in 100 Lives
Review Quotes:
"Extremely enjoyable. A brilliant combination of entertaining and educational Roman history that makes numismatics vivid and exciting." --Emma Southon, author of A History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women
Review Quotes:
"Fast paced and vivid...makes more than a millennium of Roman history tangible, telling the story of the empire's rise and fall through the thing that backed it all - cold hard cash. The coins in these pages funded wars, paid debts, and bought bread, but they also defined factions, declared beliefs, and forged the enduring images of some of history's greatest men." --Honor Cargill-Martin, author of Messalina
Review Quotes:
"This vivid story of some 800 years of artistry, assassination and adventure makes it far more than a history of Roman coins, but it's that too, and if you weren't already fascinated by these tiny beautiful works of art and all we can learn from them, I promise that you will be by the time the barbarians are at the gate (and probably by end of the prologue). There are riches aplenty in these pages, and Gareth uses his wonderful hoard of coins to pay our fare back to the roar of the Colosseum and the Roman senate house, where he is waiting to describe the ancient past with learning and immediacy." --Christopher Hadley, author of The Road
