XRF analyses on Greek and Roman copper-based coins from Istros (Romania)
Compositional data of copper and copper-based alloys coins (6 th -7 th c. AD) using pXRF. • Analyses of 35 Greek, Roman and Early Byzantine coins from recent excavations in Istros (Romania). • Compositional types and trends in monetary issues were diachronically investigated. • Alloys for minting from Greek to Early Byzantine period: impure copper, leaded copper, bronze, Ag-Cu alloy, brass. The paper presents and discusses the results of the X-Ra…
Unhiding Forested Landscapes. The Archaeological Index of South-Eastern Carpathians
Starting with late 2018, a new archaeological research project has been unfolding in the framework funded by the Romanian Governmental Unit for Research and Development (UEFISCDI) dedicated to top fundamental research, as one of the few winners of 2016 edition (the single to date) of ‘Complex Projects for Frontier Research’ competition. The Project, whose aims and methods will be shortly presented further, is entitled ‘Hidden Landscapes: Explorat…
Descoperiri monetare recente la Histria (Sectorul Acropolă Centru‐Sud) / Recent monetary discoveries at Histria (Acropolis Centre‐South Sector)
Within a four-year research project (2013– 2016) funded by the University of Bucharest, a new sector of the archaeological site of Histria (Istria, Constanța County) was opened, conventionally named Acropolis Centre-South (ACS). During the archaeological research from 2013– 2014, 18 trenches (C001– C018) were opened. The numismatic material discovered in 2013 and 2014 inside the Acropolis Centre South sector consists of Greek, Roman and Byzantine…
Some considerations on Dacian gold coins of Koson type in the light of compositional analyses
This paper presents the results of analyses performed on 81 gold coins of Koson type found in Romanian public collections. The composition of the Koson type coins was compared to the composition of 42 Greek gold coins issued between the 4th and 1st centuries BC, three Roman gold coins issued in the second half of the 1st century BC, and a Lysimachus type - tetrastater” from the medieval hoard discovered at Baia Mare (Romania). Based on the result…
