Abstract(s)
Para além da sua função de ferramenta económica, ou veículo de afirmação de propaganda política, as moedas, nomeadamente as da Antiguidade Clássica, encerram em si outras valências. Podem ser lidas como modelos e paradigmas de tendências estéticas que não só representam as linguagens iconográficas em voga no seu tempo, como também, dada a sua natureza circulatória e, até certo ponto, democrática, podem ser consideradas como agentes difusores dos modelos estéticos de vanguarda preconizados na sua época.
In addition to its function as an economic tool, or as a mean of political propaganda, coins, especially Greek and Roman specimens, contain other informative values in themselves. They can be read as paradigms of aesthetic tendencies that not only represent the iconographic languages of their era, but also, given their democratic nature, as currency, can be considered as diffusing agents, among the common people, of the avant-garde aesthetic models advocated in their time.
