Synopsis
Contributing Authors

This book undertakes a fundamental reanalysis of the history of state finances in a decisive period of the late Roman Republic, namely the years from the outbreak of the civil war between Caesar and Pompey to the defeat of Caesar’s murderers at Philippi. The three main chapters of the chronologically structured study (49-48, 48-45, 45-42 BC) are each divided into two parts: Part A presents the financial history of the relevant period according to the ancient literary sources in their historical context; Part B contains a detailed discussion of the coinage of the years in question, with special attention to chronology and localization.

Dieses Buch unternimmt eine grundlegende Neuanalyse der Geschichte der Staatsfinanzen einer entscheidenden Periode der ausgehenden romischen Republik, namlich der Jahre vom Ausbruch des Burgerkriegs zwischen Caesar und Pompeius bis zur Niederlage der Caesarmorder bei Philippi. Die drei Hauptkapitel der chronologisch gegliederten Untersuchung (49-48, 48-45, 45-42 v. Chr.) sind jeweils zweigeteilt: In Teil A wird die Finanzgeschichte der entsprechenden Zeitspanne nach den antiken literarischen Quellen in ihrem historischen Kontext dargeboten; in Teil B erfolgt eine eingehende Besprechung der Munzpragung der betreffenden Jahre unter besonderer Berucksichtigung von Chronologie und Lokalisierung. Auf diese Weise entsteht durch die erstmalige Synopse aller relevanten Quellengattungen ein umfassendes neues Gesamtbild der romischen Staatsfinanzen in der Endphase der Republik mit vielfaltigen Einzelerkenntnissen auf historischem wie vor allem numismatischem Gebiet. Neben vielen typologischen Neuinterpretationen und technischen Beobachtungen bietet der Autor zahlreiche neue Datierungen und Lokalisierungen fur wichtige Munzpragungen der Epoche im Vergleich zu M. H. Crawfords Standardwerk Roman Republican Coinage (Nr. 440-515), so etwa auch fur die popularen Elefantendenare Iulius Caesars. Das Werk ist mit Munzabbildungen auf 12 Phototafeln illustriert, enthalt drei Appendices zu Spezialproblemen und erschlieat sich dem Leser durch einen umfangreichen Indexteil sowie durch Tabellen zur Munzpragung, die einen raschen Uberblick uber alle wesentlichen numismatischen Daten ermoglichen.
