Preliminary Report on the 2019 Varzi Hoard (Northern Italy, Province of Pavia)
No full textIn 2019, a large hoard of radiates was discovered near Varzi (PV – Northern Italy). It consisted of 1308 coins, dated between the times of Gallienus and Aurelian (based on a preliminary analysis). The specimens from the hoard are in a poor state of preservation, probably due to the lack of a ceramic vessel to preserve them from direct contact with the ground. This is confirmed by the absence of any ceramic fragments in association with the find. The new hoard has increased the (already extensive) evidence for hoards buried in the area during the second half of the third century ad, some of which were even larger than the Varzi hoard itself (Grumello Cremonese, Ceretto Lomellina, Ottobiano, etc.). The restoration of a part of the coins within this hoard has formed part of a dissertation project on conservation and restoration developed at the University of Bologna. The aim of the project was to experiment with different techniques in order to achieve effective results in the reading and conservation of coins with a low silver content
The Circulation of the Coinage of Lucca in Emilia-Romagna (Italy) in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries
No full textThis study aims to provide a first overview of Lucchese money circulation in Emilia-Romagna in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, analysing written and material sources. This approach will allow an initial assessment of the use of this currency in a strategic area of connection between North and Central Italy. Far from providing a definitive framework, we hope this study will form the basis for further reflection on this issue

Distribution of Coins in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages in Southern Italy (AD 325–725). A Comparison Between Border and Inland Areas
No full textThis paper will focus on monetary distribution in southern Italy in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Thanks to the information about discoveries of coins collected in FLAME, it was possible to amass a large series of data deriving from excavations and single finds. In addition to the quantitative analysis of individual emissions and their areas of origin, a distributional analysis was added to identify interpretative frameworks of the presence of economic activity in the border areas and places of contact with other regions, to be compared with similar data from inland areas. We will also try to understand whether the decrease or increase in the volume of coins issued by a specific mint and their circulation in a given area is related to commercial upheavals in the Mediterranean after the fall of the Roman Empire
East Germanic and Alano-Sarmatian Finds of the Early Migration Period in the Roman West.
No full textInternational audienceECEE is collection of studies is the result of a six-year interdisciplinary research project undertaken by an international team of archaeologists, historians, numismatists and paleobotanists. It constitutes a completely new approach to environmental, cultural and settlement changes during the Migration Period in Central Europe. Part One discusses written sources, theories regarding migration, and environmental change in the fi rst millennium AD. In Part Two, archaeological sources relating to Central Europe in the Migration Period are analysed, while Part ree is devoted to new discoveries between the Oder and the Vistula, including traces of Germanic settlement in northern Poland in the early seventh century. In Part Four, evidence for cultural and settlement changes in neighbouring areas is characterized in a comparative light. brill.com/ecee- 1872-8103 59/1 Aleksander Bursche, John Hines and Anna Zapolska (eds.) e Migration Period between the Oder and the Vistula Prof. Aleksander Bursche coordinated the Migration Period between the Oder and the Vistula project, the results of which are published here.

A New Obol of Hippias of Athens
No full textThe aim of this paper is to present a second specimen of an Athenian-type obol with the signature of Hippias which has recently appeared in trade, and to offer some reflections on the significance of such a coin. It is also argued that the obols of Hippias could give a chronological indication about the date of the introduction of the owl coinage in Athens
Hoards in Ancient Anatolia 630-30 BC. A Statistical Overview
No full textThis paper offers a preliminary statistical analysis of coin hoards in ancient Anatolia from the invention of coinage in the region until the end of the Roman Republican period, c. 630 to 30 bc. The CHANGE Project has created a database of Anatolian hoards, now made publicly available at www.coinhoards.org. Using this novel dataset, the paper examines high-level trends in hoarding behaviour by chronology, geography, material and hoard size, revealing links between big-picture historical developments and the economic activity of individuals, and highlighting directions for future analysis
