Nuove considerazioni sull'unità ponderale della prima serie monetale di Biblo
2000
In this contribution it is proposed to identify the standard of 9 gr. of the first Byblos coin series with the Syrian standard of 9.40 gr. which, as evidenced by the material documentation, is rooted in Syria-Palestine from the Late Bronze Age up to the time of coinage of the Phoenician cities
Coinage and Indigenous Populations in Central Sicily
2015
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. These elements seem to show a late achievement, among those communities, of an economy based on the exclusive use of coins, that was a peculiar expression of the Greek culture

Rinvenimenti monetali dall’area centro-meridionale della Sicilia
2007
Object of the contribution are the Roman coins found in central-southern Sicily. These are few specimens, almost always found in an isolated state and rarely known with the context of discovery, which, however, allow us to advance some reflections concerning the occupation of the territory. In particular, numismatic evidence from Gela would seem to suggest that the city continued to be frequented even after its destruction in 282 BC.
Rinvenimenti monetali e contesto di scavo. Un ripostiglio di monete puniche da Gela
2018
The excavations in Capo Soprano country at Gela (1999-2001) have hallowed to recover a living quarter, in which was a hoard of 17 bronze coins of Punic Sicily with female head and horse in front of palm-tree. The stratigraphic excavation of the quarter has permitted to find two living phases, sealed by collapsed roofs and walls. The excavation has supplied information concerning the relative chronology of the layers and the walls, while the stratigraphic association between pottery and coins offers information concerning the absolute chronology. These elements also make it possible to consider the siege of Gela by Agathokles (317-309 B.C.) as the terminus ante quem for the ancient phase. Si…

Timoleonte e i centri indigeni della Sicilia centrale. L’apporto dell’evidenza numismatica
2011
The studies that in the 1960s developed the theme of the "revival of the Timoleontian age" in the inland centers of central-southern Sicily were based on the erroneous attribution to the Timoleontian age of the Syracusan coin series with the head of Athena/hippocampus and the head of Athena/ star between two dolphins, which determined the generic chronological lowering of the materials and archaeological structures with which the coins were associated and the consequent assignment of many archaeological evidences to the second half of the fourth century BC. The reinterpretation of the numismatic evidence from the hinterland of Sicily proposed in this study offers new interpretative perspect…
