Alessia Rovelli is Docente di Numismatica antica, Universita degli Studi della Tuscia, Italy.
'This helpful volume, part of the well-known Variorum series, collects a selection of her most important articles (in this case amounting to a generous seventeen items), with the usual addenda and corrigenda, as well as a consolidated index ... Rovelli's work is important for specialists working in many areas of early medieval archaeology, history and numismatics, including those whose interests are not primarily Italian. At the heart of her approach is close engagement with coin-finds and their archaeological context, but also with an eye to the testimony of contemporary documents - an exemplary methodology.' Early Medieval Europe 'This work offers more than a mere snapshot of the field or a rigid unitary perspective. We now possess not only a useful collation of Rovelli's detailed work but also a body of material that can be easily accessed by Anglophone readers. ... This comprehensive collection, which also addresses a wide range of pertinent fields and problems that affect not only Italy in the early medieval period but also the wider Mediterranean and European worlds, is a valuable addition to our libraries.'
