Research summary:
In the third century, the Roman Empire saw a crisis, marking the beginning of Late Antiquity. This period represents a pivotal stage in the development of Roman coinage. My research interests focus on this important period of transition, as seen from coinage, both imperial and provincial.
I am currently working on Roman Provincial Coinage volume VII (Gordian III) and volume VIII (Philip the Arab). The aim of the Roman Provincial Coinage project is to produce a standard typology of the coinage produced in the provinces of the Roman Empire. This represents the first systematic treatment of the civic coinage at the height of the Roman empire.
My research interests cover a wide range of subjects related to Roman coinage: monetary reforms, imperial cult, iconography, art history, onomastic, local cults and religions.
As curator, I oversee the digitalisation and the online publication of the numismatic collection of the Ashmolean Museum.
