Illegitimate Legitimacy: The Story of Romano-British Counterfeiting

This book explores the most common coins from Roman Britain found by detectorists, which are in fact copies dating from the third and fourth centuries. Although these counterfeit coins may be dimissed as unimportant fakes, labelled as barbarous radiates or Roman grots they do have their own stories to tell in this part of British history. The coins can be works of art in their own right, highlighting the craftsmanship of British artisans of the time.

The book covers are range of copies, with detailed descriptions and photographic comparisons against the original minted coins to highlight their differences. This may bring a new interest in these often overlooked coins for detectorists, numismatists or anyone with an interest in coins.
