American Numismatic Society - Human societies have used tokens for thousands of years, and the Roman world was no different. Tokens made of bronze, brass, and lead were created by a variety of different groups and individuals - men and women, professional organizations, cultic groups, and the imperial family. These images on Roman tokens show a world of joy, celebration, creativity, and community, and provide a unique glimpse into the worlds of those living in the Roman Empire. Clare Rowan (The University of Warwick) will explore the stories that Roman tokens can tell us.
