Monetary finds and Gresham's law. Proceedings of the III International Congress of Numismatics and Monetary History. Padua 28-29 October 2005, edited by Michele Asolati, Giovanni Gorini, Esedra Editrice, Padua 2006, pp. 222, richly illustrated, 27 cm, br. and.

Numismatica Patavina, 8. Series directed by Giovanni Gorini.

The expression "Gresham's Law" identifies the economic-monetary phenomenon according to which "bad money drives out good", that is, the practice that leads to spending, for the same face value, the coins with the worst metal content and to storing and accumulating those with better content. In the past, this practice had a fundamental importance and significant implications at a historical-economic level, but still today it continues to play a role, for example by pushing us to spend the most creased banknote and to keep the printable one. This book collects the contributions proposed during the III International Congress of Numismatics and Monetary History (Padua, October 28-29, 2005) on the theme of Gresham's Law and monetary finds. In particular, the results it had in the Greek, Celtic, Roman, Byzantine and medieval European world are examined in depth and its "paternity" is also discussed: attributed to Sir Thomas Gresham (ca. 1519-1579) in the second half of the nineteenth century , more likely, it can be traced back to Italian environments in which the phenomenon was already known and theorized a century earlier. The volume also includes as an appendix the re-edition of the contribution Uses and abuses of Gresham's Law in the History of Money by Robert Mundell, professor of Economics at Columbia University in New York and Nobel Prize in Economics in 1999.

Numismatica Patavina, 12. Series directed by Giovanni Gorini.

This volume, which includes fourteen contributions, comes at the end of a research project funded by the Ministry of Education, University and Research that lasted over ten years. It was aimed at studying the problems relating to ancient coin finds with projections also in the medieval world in their broadest sense both chronologically and methodologically. Over the years, numerous Italian and foreign scholars have participated in this debate who have focused on some historical-economic aspects of the coin finds in the contexts of Greek and Roman society. These works, although they reflect different approaches and perspectives according to the personalities of the authors, nevertheless, as a whole, provide a very broad and articulated picture of the situation of studies in this sector of numismatic research at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century. Each of them, with its own specificity, is part of a larger organism which as a whole offers itself to the free exchange of ideas with a critical and methodological approach. This initiative was born within the "school of Padua" which for several years now has developed a certain experience on historical and economic problems related to the phenomenon of monetary finds.

Vincenzo Mancini, Vertuosi and artists. Essays on antiquarian and numismatic collecting between Padua and Venice in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Esedra Editrice, Padua 2005, pp. 141, richly illustrated, 27 cm, br. and.

Numismatica Patavina, 5. Series directed by Giovanni Gorini.

The volume collects some essays dedicated to the topic that lately is at the center of the most advanced studies in the field of art history: that of antiquarian, numismatic and artistic collecting. By rediscovering and making sources and archive papers speak, the author outlines the identity of some figures of collectors and art lovers active in close complicity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries between Padua and Venice. Alongside personalities not unknown to literature, the book brings out entirely new names - Gerolamo Querini, Francesco Assonica, Giovanni Galvano and others - who thus enter fully into the roster of the most important collectors of the time. The connected action of intellectuals commuting between the two poles sees the involvement of artists often of the first magnitude, such as Tiziano, Campagnola, Tintoretto, Vittoria, Tinelli. With the reconstruction of the individual figures, a more general picture of the relations between the intellectual circles of the university city and those of the capital of the Serenissima Republic during years of flourishing cultural development is recomposed.

The fortunate occasion of the discovery in Friuli of a storage room of 40 tetradrams of the "Kugelreiter" type, associated with 359 republican Roman victors, made it possible to substantially modify the chronology of these issues. In fact, for this monetary series there can no longer be any reason for a chronology to exist at 60 BC. C. An attribution to the middle of the second century is preferable. to.

The purpose of this work is to scientifically illustrate the monetary characteristics of north-east Italy during the Middle Ages.

Market that contributed not a little to the great mercantile success of the Serenissima.

Numismatica Patavina, 9. Series directed by Giovanni Gorini.

The phenomenon of inflation, both as an increase in prices and as a debasement of money, is one of the most studied and debated in the studies of numismatics and ancient and medieval monetary history due to the undoubted repercussions on the contemporary world, which has always tried to limit it. the effects and to keep it under strict control. In fact, the real impact of the inflationary aspects on the economy of a historical period is very delicate and complex to study and understand, especially if we keep in mind the ancient and medieval monetary economies, which are sometimes quite precarious. This volume collects the contributions proposed during the IV International Congress of Numismatics and Monetary History (Padua, 12-13 October 2007) on the theme of the relationship between inflation and its effects on monetary finds. In particular, some aspects of the Greek and Roman world and the Italian medieval one are focused with a series of interventions by Italian and foreign scholars, who have faced this complex problematic analysis by proposing new solutions to old problems or advancing new research perspectives in the light of the documentation. that the continuous discoveries of coins, both isolated and in closets, bring to our attention for a critical and multidisciplinary approach.

Michele Asolati, The treasure of Falerii Novi. New contributions on the Italic bronze coinage of the Ricimer years (457-472 AD). With an appendix by Leonardo Allegretta, Esedra Editrice, Padua 2005, pp. 197, richly illustrated, cm 27, br. and.

Numismatica Patavina, 4. Series directed by Giovanni Gorini.

The imperial Roman coinage of the 5th century AD. C. still presents many aspects that have been poorly investigated, especially regarding the small coin in copper alloy. This volume contains the study of a treasure of late antique bronze coins found at the end of the 19th century in the area of Falerii Novi (now Falleri, Viterbo). "Rediscovered" after a century of oblivion, the treasure, which consists of just over 1780 specimens, offers new and important contributions to the knowledge previously possessed on the evolution of Italic bronze coinage of the second half of the fifth century AD. C., proving to be a historical-archaeological document of absolute importance. Particularly interesting are the ideas offered on the volumes and production rhythms of the official Western mints in this period, on the evolution of the weight of the nummus (the main bronze nominal of this era), as, on the other hand, on the identification of the zones. production of the numerous imitations that characterized this historical period. Finally, no less significant are the contributions that also contribute to defining certain aspects of the personality of one of the characters that most characterized the Italic political scene of this phase: Ricimer.

This volume is completely dedicated to the description of the coins found over the decades in the city of Verona, including the localities annexed to the old city nucleus during the Fascist period.

Furthermore, it is a work that concludes the series dedicated to the province of Verona, waiting for a final volume, relating to the closet in Albaredo d'Adige, to complete the picture of this western area of the region.
