Clive Stannard

Honorary Visiting Fellow

School of Archaeology and Ancient History

My current research interests include:

1. •   The imitative coinages of Pompeii in the 1st c. BC, and imitative coinages
   in central Italy in Hellenistic times generally.
   

2. •   The ‘Italo-Baetican assemblage’, an as-yet-unpublished group of bronze and lead coinages from central Italy and from Baetica in the 2nd and early 1st centuries BC, which share a unique iconography.
   

3. •   Foreign coins from central Italy in late Hellenistic times.
   

4. •   The identification of ‘currency areas’ and coin circulation in the Western Mediterranean in late Hellenistic times.
   

5. •   Technologies of die and coin manufacture.
   

6. •   Techniques of weight-adjustment in ancient coinages, and the implications
   for metrology.
   

7. •    The crisis in small change that developed in central Italy in the middle of the 2nd c. BC, and lasted to the time of Augustus.
