{"product_id":"how-to-find-britains-buried-treasure-hoards-copy","title":"Irregular and Counterfeit coins of Roman Britain","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy far the most common coins found by detectorists are the Romano-British copies of the third and fourth centuries. They are often described as \"barbarous radiates” or even more disparagingly as \"Roman grots”. These little bronze offerings have a charm of their own and deserve more than to be condemned to a detectorist’s junk box or ignored by numismatists and archaeologists as being unimportant. The purpose of this book is to highlight some of the more interesting copies from Roman Britain and to show that they too tell a story. They form miniature pieces of art made by local British artisans for use by the Romano-British population.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book aims to illustrate the range of copies found in a way that will be of interest to numismatists, archaeologists, collectors and detectorists. I hope that it will foster in the reader an appreciation of an important aspect of the art of Roman Britain, and consign the description \"grots” to never ending banishment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eCustomer Review: My copy turned up today, it’s a must have for any detectorist.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eI’ve definitely got my fair share of counterfeit Romano coins, but would have never known without this book.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GREENLIGHT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64719815770489,"sku":"HFBTH-0088","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/1047\/1745\/files\/s-l1600_4.webp?v=1790595313","url":"https:\/\/spinadiscmetaldetectors.com\/products\/how-to-find-britains-buried-treasure-hoards-copy","provider":"Spin a disc metal detectors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
