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.

About Richard A Abdy

Richard A. Abdy has been a curator of Roman coins at the British Museum for many years, with particular interest in the middle and later imperial periods of the Roman Empire. He has had long experience of recording Roman coin hoards through work on Treasure cases in England. At university his research led to a corpus of the coinage from the Antonine Wall, which flagged up the need for a modern reference for the coinage of this period.
