A history of ancient Rome in twelve coins

Trama

When Gareth Harney was first given a Roman coin as a child, he became entranced by its beauty, and its unique ability to connect us with the past. He soon learned that the Romans saw coins as far more than just currency-these were metal canvases on which they immortalized their sacred gods, mighty emperors, towering monuments, and brutal battles of conquest.
