Sutton Hoo - Mind the Pennies
Part of the Historia series. Discover the money of Anglo-Saxon England with Rory Naismith. This lecture examines the money which circulated in Anglo-Saxon England, including the origins of denominations we still use today such as the pound and the penny. We will look at where these originate, and how they were used side by side with other coins and commodities. Coins emerge as a crucial source for early medieval economy and society, based on a combination of finds, numismatics and texts. Booking
