Opis

The Corosolite tribe, who inhabited what is now Brittany, were prolific producers of coins and significant hoards have been found across Brittany, Normany and on the island of Jersey. This study is based around a hoard of more than 11,000 coins found at La Marquanderie on Jersey, but it is also broader in its discussion of the Coriosolite and their coinage. More than a mere catalogue of coins, Hooker' study looks at the design, symbolism, imagery and aesthetics of the coins and the social, cultural and religious traditions that influenced designs.
