The monetization of Temperate Europe

This article required the generation of a particularly extensive and complex thesis linking the material evidence of numismatics with cultural change from the Iron Age to Roman period and with the eventual extent of the Roman Empire across Europe. It drew its theoretical perspective from extensive reading across disciplines (anthropology, archaeology, and ancient history), and across traditional subject divisions, both temporal (Iron Age and Roman) and geographical (Eastern and Western Europe, which are treated separately within numismatics). It also required a current grasp of numismatics and numismatic archaeology across these ranges in time and space not previously attempted.
