The extraordinary story of ancient Rome told through one of the world's most universal, humane and powerful objects- the coin

  • A Financial Times Book of the Year * A Sunday Times and Mail on Sunday Summer Read *

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.

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