Description
Summary:<span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-GB">The present study presents the connection between the earthquakes and the Roman coinage from iconography to relief funds from the state. The main part is dedicated to the case of the ‘civilian’ settlement of Carnuntum in Pannonia Superior (nowadays, Petronell-Carnuntum, Austria). The archaeological excavations and the coin finds related to the pre- and post-earthquake phases reveal the way the Romans have reconstruct/repair the edifices after this event at the mid-4<sup>th</sup> century AD.</span>
