The coins selected were struck in the mint of Carthage between AD 297 and 307. The statistical analysis of the non-destructive XRF data increases our understanding of a mint that has been paid less attention than others to date, in both material and historical terms. No differences in the composition of the coins were detected; i.e. the same alloy was used in all four of the mint's officinae. However, coins minted at the beginning of the first tetrarchy were found to present higher concentrations of silver.
