"This is a themed volume of 28 papers, written in honour of Marion Archibald." "It considers the role of coinage in northern Europe from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the early thirteenth century. Although the focus of the volume is the coinage itself, the majority of the papers consider coinage in its historical and/or archaeological context."--Jacket.
