A. CRISÀ (éd.), Tokens, Value and Identity. Exploring Monetiform Objects in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, Bruxelles, 2021, 192 p. (Travaux du Cercle d’Études Numismatiques 22).

Tokens, Value and Identity aims to better define the multiple roles played by tokens in antiquity and the medieval period. More specifically, it seeks to improve our understanding of the relationship between tokens, value and identity by highlighting the frequently unnoticed work performed by these everyday objects.

The continued use of tokens in multiple societies across time (persisting even today in the digital age) suggests that the role played by these artefacts is fundamental to human society.

The volume collects selected contributions which arise from the international workshop held at the British School at Rome (18-19 October 2018). Each piece of work presents a case study on tokens providing fresh perspectives and multidisciplinary approaches at the intersection of numismatics, archaeology, history and museum studies.
