Course objectives
The main objective of the course is to acquaint students with the problem of the earliest coins in Europe, that is with the origins and spread of coins over the antique Greece (since the 7th century BC) and Rome (since the 4th century BC) – this part of the course is conceived as a general overview. Detailed attention, on the other hand, is paid to Celtic coinage in Central Europe and to the problem of import of Roman coins to the barbarian territory.
