ÉPUISÉ - Coins for a legion. An Analysis of the coin finds from Augustan legionary fortress and Flavian canabae legionis at Nijmegen, 2006, 289 p. -

During the earliest phase of the Augustan campaigns in Germany, and again from c. AD 70-105, a legionary fortress stood on the Hunerberg in Nijmegen. Excavations by the Radboud University Nijmegen in 1987-1997 uncovered part of the Augustan fortress, as well as the Flavian canabae legionis of the X legion Germania. The 3541 Roman and Celtic coins recovered during these excavations are the subject of this volume. They are used not only to eastablish the chronology of the site, but also to analyse the function and use of coins on the Hunerberg, and to reconstruct the supply of coinage to the army. The analysis of the earliest Augustan phase leads to the proposal of a new scenario for the history of the Lower Rhine in the years leading up to the campaigns of Drusus, while a supraregional comparison of the Flavian coins results in new insights into the role of coinage in imperial propaganda and into Roman monetary policy.
