Imperial Legitimation: The Iconography of the Golden Age Myth on Roman Imperial Coinage of the Third Century AD - Hardcover

by Graham Barker (Author)

This fascinating study of the iconography of the Golden Age Myth on Roman Imperial coinage of the Third Century AD, which started as a master's dissertation, also includes all Roman coins that have the Saecular Games types, down to 300 AD. The first study of its kind, it also gives a reconstruction of the Games and appendices with texts from well-known classical authors.
