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

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)
