Romano-British Coin Hoards $14.2 Britain’s visible Roman remains are lacking in impressive monuments such as the temples, arches and amphitheatres found in France and Italy. Yet the best testament to Britain’s participation in Graeco-Roman civilisation is its ‘hidden’ monuments: spectacular hoards of household valuables such as jewellery, precious-metal table utensils or decorations and also the concern of this book rich hoards of gold, silver and bronze coins. Many such hoards are hidden no longer, as visits to numerous museums will quickly show. This book provides an introduction to Romano-British coin hoards and places major discoveries, new and old, in the story of the Roman monetary system in Britannia. |

The Croatian walled town of Dubrovnik sits on a peninsula jutting out into the Adriatic Sea, in the far south of the country. One of the most hectic and most well liked traveller destinations on the Adriatic coast, Dubrovnik has a thriving port and is now a prestigious UNESCO International heritage site. Traditionally a major maritime trading centre, in the Middle Ages this stunning town became the sole Adriatic city-state to rival the might of Venice. Its great periods were during the 15th and 16th centuries, and much of the magnificence of those eras remains today.
Called the 'Pearl of the Adriatic ', this interesting town is a Mecca for travellers, with its spectacular Old Town crammed with heritage design, forts, museums and palaces, their fantastic interiors a monument to the wealth of the town. Protected still by its ancient town walls, Old Dubrovnik is a perfect destination for history buffs.
Both Catholic and Serbian Orthodox cathedrals and churches tower over the terracotta roofs of the old buildings and, when sight-seeing gets knackering, Dubrovnik's pebble beaches and warm seas give a calming change of focus. Of note, traveller information is available at the city's countless tourism outlets, with some of the most well-liked being found at Gruz Harbour, along the Old Town's Ulica Svetog Dominika, and on the Setaliste Kralja Zvonimira, in the Lapad promontory.
Many appealing family beaches skirt the spur, with the most popular being fronted by resort-style hostels and tropical palm trees. The coastline around Dubrovnik comprises a diversified mix of Adriatic beaches, some sandy, others made of pebbles and tiny rocks. Situated on the eastern side of the Old Harbor, Banje Beach is expediently close to the action and features great perspectives across the Old Town. Connected by a coastal route, the Lapad beaches are particularly tasty, with their fine sand and seafood eateries, while at the Sveti Jakov Beach you can try your hand at jet skiing and other fun water sports. More information about Dubrovnik Beaches.
Considering its size, the sight-seeing prospects in Dubrovnik are huge. When you first arrive in the town, a walking tour of the Old Town comes strongly recommended, being led by experienced guides and departing every day from the Latino Club Fuego. If you prefer to explore more at your leisure, then the Pile Gate is the best place to start, with many notable places leading off the Placa (Stradun) thoroughfare and often being of a religious nature. Some of the grandest include the Dubrovnik Cathedral (Katedrala Velike Gospe), St. Blaise's Church (Cvkva Svetog Vlahe), St. Ignatius Church and Jesuit College (Crkva Svetog Ignacija i Isusovacki Koledz) and St. Saviour Church (Crkva Svetog Spasa). The Jewish Synagogue (Sinagoga) is another notable sight since it is one of Europe's most historical still in use. At the Sponza Palace (Palaca Sponza) you will find an imposing Gothic and Renaissance-style cover, together with a crucial collection of manuscripts within the State Archives, with the oldest going back just about one thousand years.

Over the years, the town of Dubrovnik has led an interesting and frequently checkered life, being a major trade centre in the 12th century and a port town in the 15th century, enjoying much wealth at these times. But disaster struck in 1667, when a devastating quake nearly destroyed the town, with just the Rector's Palace and the Sponza Palace managing to stay standing. The town was afterwards reconstructed, although in a more uniform style and with much baroque design, and its trading powers quickly vanished. At the start of the 1990s, Dubrovnik hit the news reports when it was mixed up in the Yugoslavian war and many fine buildings were bombed. Today, all of these landmarks have been completely restored to their former glory.
The fortified town walls enclosing the Old Town add a big amount of medieval character, being of grand proportions and originating from the 13th century, although earlier walls were built in the 9th century to guard against barbarous invasions. As you walk round the walls you'll encounter the fortresses of Bokar, Lovrijenac, Revelin and St. John, whilst enjoying the town and seafront vistas. Other important landmarks worth spotting in Dubrovnik include the Town Bell Tower, the Onofrio Fountains, the Orlando Column and the St. Lawrence Fortress (Fort Lovrijenac), which dominates the western seafront and during the eleventh century forestalled the Venetians from gaining power of the town. More information about Dubrovnik Landmarks and Monuments.
Those on vacation in Dubrovnik and attempting to find info about its long and eventful history should head to the city's museums. The Ethnographic Museum (Etnografski Muzej), the Franciscan Monastery Museum (Muzej Franjevackog Samostana) and the Maritime Museum (Pomorski Muzej) are 3 of the best, with the second celebrating the city's maritime heritage and located inside St. John's Fortress. At the Dubrovnik Art Gallery (Umjetnicka Galerija) are several examples of fine Croatian art works, accompanied by regular short lived exhibitions. The Museum of Modern Art (Muzej Suvremene Umjetnosti) is another good gallery option for culture buffs, with its abundant modern masterpieces. Additional information about Dubrovnik Museums and Dubrovnik Art Studios.
The incessant recognition of Dubrovnik as a holiday destination has rippled outwards to the encompassing area, although thankfully mass tourism has still to arrive around the area now called the Dubrovnik Riviera. This Adriatic stretch is coated with attractions and short trip probabilities, with close by Zaton Bay being perfect for jaunts. Also inside comfy reach of the town is Mljet Island, where a lush national park draws visitors. Merely a comparatively short ship trip away is the small island of Lopud, belonging to the Elaphiti Islands archipelago and famed for its beautiful sandy beaches, particularly those around the Bay of Sunj. Although too far for a day trip to be feasible a weekend break to the town of Split is well worth the effort, since Roman remains in Croatia don't come much more impressive than its Diocletian's Palace.

A View of the Silver Coin and Coinage of Scotland, from Alexander the First to the Union of the Two Kingdoms: Considered with Regard to Type, Legend, Sorts, Weight, Fineness and Value. By the Late Mr. Thomas Snelling $10.81 The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
