| description | The number of analyses of ancient and late-antiquity metal objects has been growing exponentially in recent years; of particular interest among these are coins, not only for the tradition of numismatic studies but especially for the information that these studies can provide on the origin of the metals used, thus furnishing a nexus between mines and coins. The characterisation of coin composition is based on a combination of elementary and lead isotope analyses. This study proposes on the one hand to present a series of data and provisional conclusions based on composition data, and on the other hand to take a critical look at the limitations and perspectives of studies of this kind: presentation of data, identification of recycling, relationship with state policies or with mine management practices. |
