This volume explores the potential of the coin data (approximately 220,000 coins to date) recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme alongside that from archaeological sites as a tool for understanding the development of the Roman province of Britannia. A variety of case-studies analyse patterns of coin loss to evaluate when, where, by whom and for what purpose coinage was used. Thematic issues such as 'regionality' and 'Romanisation' are also considered.
