Solid-state electrochemical characterization of emissions and authorities producing Roman brass coins

2020

[EN] The voltammetry of immobilized particles (VIMP) is applied to describe the solid state electrochemistry of brass. This methodology, which involves sampling at the nanogram level, is applied to discriminate mints/authorities producing different Roman monetary emissions covering since the Republic (88 BCE) to Domitianus (55-96 CE) Upon attachment to graphite electrodes in contact with aqueous acetate buffer at pH 4.75, well defined voltarnmetric responses were obtained centered on Cu- and Zn-localized signals whose intensity can be correlated to EMP data, being sensitive to the contents of Zn (15-30 wt.%) and Sn (0.01-1.1 wt.%). Voltammetric data, combined with ATR-FTIR and FIB-PESEM/EDS…

Mercenari italici in viaggio verso l’entroterra della Sicilia? Il contributo delle evidenze numismatiche e archeologiche

2014

The subject of the contribution is the analysis of a series of numismatic evidences, coming from Amorella, Monte Raffe, Castellazzo di Marianopoli, Santa Caterina di Villarmosa, through which it is possible to observe how, from the mid-4th century BC, the hinterland had become a veritable enclave of mercenaries. These are allogeneic groups, who presumably arrived in Sicily from the Italian peninsula to serve as soldiers in the ranks of the Dionysian armies, and were subsequently exhorted or chose to settle permanently in the indigenous communities of the interior

Uso della moneta presso gli Indigeni della Sicilia centro-meridionale

2011

The study of the coins found in the indigenous settlements of Caltanissetta province and the analysis of the related contexts of provenance, have highlighted that in these centers, still in the 4th century BC, the coin was considered a worthless piece of metal and that other bronze objects were used as medium of exchange. It is remarkable the discovery in this territory of three “mixed” hoards, including not only coins, but also of bronze scraps and small fragmentary objects. In this regard, the presence in this area of the so-called "monetary barbarizations" is interesting. They are rare specimens whose stylistic aspect, typological association, technical and, sometimes, even weight elemen…

I Sicani nel IV secolo a.C.: osservazioni su alcuni ripostigli monetali degli inizi del IV sec. a.C.

2015

This contribution intends to compare the historical testimonies relating to the Sicanians in the 4th century BC with the data deriving from the analysis of the coins found in the sites of the hinterland of Sicily and, in particular, in those falling within the territory of the current province of Caltanissetta

Il fenomeno delle “barbarizzazioni monetali” in Sicilia attraverso la documentazione numismatica di Sabucina

2007

The contribution analyzes a specific category of coin issues: the "barbarizations, rare specimens whose stylistic aspect, typological association, technical and, sometimes, even weight elements denounce the belonging to productions different from those of the official mints to which typologically they seem to be connected. They are particularly attested in the center of Sicily and, in particular, in the site of Sabucina, which is configured as a privileged observatory for studying structure and functions of these coins

Gli Indigeni e la moneta. Rinvenimenti monetali e associazioni contestuali dai centri dell’entroterra siciliano

2012

The Sicilian hinterland and, in particular, the territory of the current province of Caltanissetta, during the archaeological investigations of the last sixty years, has returned a substantial monetary documentation. The analysis of these coins, conducted in parallel with that of the materials found in the relative archaeological contexts, has allowed us to draw significant considerations on the "monetary uses" of the anellenic populations of this part of Sicily. Despite, starting from the last twenty-five years of the fifth century a. C., coins spread more and more in this territory, it seems that these communities never fully understood the original structure of this exchange instrument a…

Ripostigli “misti” dalla Sicilia centro-meridionale

2011

It is remarkable the discovery in the hinterland of Sicily of three “mixed” hoards, including not only coins, but also of bronze scraps and small fragmentary objects. They demonstrate that in these centers, still in the 4th century BC, the coin was considered a worthless piece of metal and that other bronze objects were used as medium of exchange. The subject of further study is the so-called closet of Milocca-Milena (IGCH 2162), which is attributed to the site of Monte Raffe
