Money Circulation in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Modern Times: Time, Range, Intensity

Money Circulation in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Modern Times: Time, Range, Intensity Review

The question as to how money circulated in Europe from Antiquity to the 17th century still remains unsolved. The studies in this volume, based on new finds and new scientific methods, contribute more results. They concern different aspects of the question, including the role of Celtic coins in Moravia in the light of the sensational finds from Nemcice, the inflow of dirhams and their imitations into Baltic, and the comparison of silver circulation in Scandinavia, old Prussia and Germany in the Viking-Age. The beginnings of coinage in Bohemia and Lithuania are also studied. -------------------------- CONTENTS: Preface / Ryszard Kiersnowski (Wilno 4 November 1925 - Warszawa 7 July 2006) / The Fiftieth Anniversary of 'Wiadomosci Numizmatyczne' / Fundmuenzen vom Keltenzentrum Nemcice (Maehren): Beitrag zum keltischen Muenzumlauf im Mitteldonaugebiet / Some Remarks on Monetary Circulation in Viking-Age Scandinavia / Monetary Circulation in the Ninth and Tenth Centuries: A Short Survey in the Light of Die Studies / The Marking of Dirhams at Some Principal Samanid Mints / Coin Finds in the Viking-Age Emporium at Janow Pomorski (Truso) and the 'Prussian Phenomenon' / Coin Circulation in Viking-Age Germany / The 10th Century Bohemian Deniers in the Light of Revised Finds / Die Muenzen des Fundes von Ulejno (Grosspolen), tpq 1009 / Monetary Circulation in Denmark from c. 1100 to c. 1500 / Coins and Coin Circulation in Medieval Finland / The Circulation of the Earliest Lithuanian Coins / Zur Interpretation der Zeugenaussage der Muenzfunde ueber den Geldumlauf in Boehmen im 16. und in der 1.
