Description: | The collection of coins from the Roman Imperial Empire form part of the visual narrative of the classical period. These coins are important evidence of the economic history of individual city states, providing detailed information regarding development in both two dimensional and three dimensional representations (Morrison, 2002). The collection holds over 8000 Roman Imperial Empire coins. A gold coin, which was collected near the village of Sakkara, is engraved with 'Constantine', and was purchased in 1907 for the collection. The Roman Imperial Empire coins are supported and contextualised by the collection of Roman Republican Empire coins which together document the history of the Roman world.
