| Abstract: | The functions of and attitudes towards precious metals in the late Roman and early Anglo-Saxon period are considered. An interpretation of the gold bracteates as active media in social and political transactions is put forward, centred on an analysis of the complexity of different types and issues within the larger groups of finds. Comparisons are made with other early coinage, special purpose monies and other types of pendant. | |||
