Medieval European Coinage

This volume of Medieval European Coinage is the first comprehensive survey of the coinage of north Italy c.9501500 bringing the latest research to an international audience. It provides an authoritative and up-to-date account of the coinages of Piedmont Liguria Lombardy and the greater Veneto which have never been studied together in such detail on a broad regional basis. The volume reveals for the first time the wider trends that shaped the coinages of the region and offers new syntheses of the monetary history of the individual cities. It includes detailed appendices such as a list of coin hoards indices and a glossary as well as a fully illustrated catalogue of the north Italian coins including those of Genoa Milan and Venice in the unrivalled collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum largely formed by Professor Philip Grierson (19102006).
