Short description:
This volume is the fullest treatment in print of the Viking-Age economy in the Isle of Man, cataloguing the coin collection in Douglas and revealing a system that used silver and other metals on a substantial scale, in the form of bullion as well as coin. At least one identifiable group of coins was made on Man itself in the eleventh century.
MoreLong description:
During the early Middle Ages ^?^ when the Irish Sea became a melting pot of different cultures and a hotly contested political arena ^?^ the Isle of Man stands out as a unique and fascinating place, extraordinarily wealthy, and of considerable interest to scholarship for the impact of Scandinavian Viking culture. Chronicles and other textual sources are virtually silent on Man in this period, so finds of coins and other metallic objects represent a vital window into the economy of the island. In this volume, Bornholdt Collins catalogues the coin collection in Douglas and discusses a group of coins that was made on Man itself in the eleventh century. A system is revealed that used silver and other metals on a substantial scale, but in the form of bullion as well as coin, influenced by Anglo-Saxon England, the Danelaw, and the Viking Dublin.
This volume is a work of reference, in the best possible sense of that phrase. The catalogue, hoards list and summary of Arbory mean that it will be essential for anyone studying Viking Age coinage and silver, the Irish Sea region or the Isle of Man for decades to come. The analytical sections means that it also has an important role in advancing current scholarly debates around the nature of Early Medieval power and exchange. It is required reading for anyone working with Viking Age coinage and deserves to find a wide readership amongst those with any form of interest in the Viking Age.
