They are often described as \""barbarous radiates\u201D or even more disparagingly as \""Roman grots\u201D. These little bronze offerings have a charm of their own and deserve more than to be condemned to a detectorist\u2019s junk box or ignored by numismatists and archaeologists as being unimportant. The purpose of this book is to highlight some of the more interesting copies from Roman Britain and to show that they too tell a story. They form miniature pieces of art made by local British artisans for use by the Romano-British population.\nThis book aims to illustrate the range of copies found in a way that will be of interest to numismatists, archaeol.
