Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

HOLD THE POWER AND GLORY OF ANCIENT ROME IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.

A wild she-wolf tenderly nurses infant twins Romulus and Remus.
Marcus Junius Brutus looks out over chaos and conflict, flaunting the bloodied daggers with which he murdered Julius Caesar.
Trumpets blare, crowds roar, gladiators enter the grand Colosseum. Let the games begin.

Told through the lives of twelve remarkable coins, this is ancient Rome as you’ve never seen it before. Frescoes fade and books vanish, but the story of Rome’s epic rise and fall survives in scenes struck in gold, silver and bronze.

Kritikerstimmen

Riveting ... An utterly original history of Rome that compels from start to finish. A wonderful read
In this delightful book, Harney, a historian and coin collector, tells the story of ancient Rome from founding to collapse, through the medium of its coinage. The result is fascinating, orginal and fun. The story of Rome is of course extraordinary. But the way it is told by Harney brings it to life. It is a book to enjoy, but also one from which both young and old can learn much
An excellent 1,000 year history of Rome told through 12 coins… This book is well worth a few denarii
A wonderfully evocative history of the Roman Empire
From Caesar's hubris to the daily pay of a Roman soldier, this excellent history whizzes through one thousand years of history ... For those who want an enjoyable potted history of 1,000 years of Rome told in an engaging new way, Harney’s book is well worth a few denarii
[Harney] deploys the coins skilfully to underpin and illustrate his history … an effective and appropriate strategy because Roman coins really are exceptional in the range of their design … a rich resource for talking about Roman power
Fantastic. Moneta is 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)
Gareth Harvey’s Moneta offers an original and ingenious means of recounting the rise and fall of Rome’s empire, though twelve coins. The result is both exciting and enjoyable, filled with fascinating and illuminating details (MATTHEW KNEALE, author of Rome)
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)
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)
