In identifying forms of a cash economy in the countryside of Roman times a persisting problem is the shortage and dishomogeneity of numismatic documentation. e findings from investigated sites and the occasional recoveries of hoards appear a sort of window of archaeological and numismatic visibility in a rural environment apparently characterized by a lack of metallic currencies, as shown by the majority of archaeological surveys, which seldom recover coins, and then in minimal numbers. As a consequence, the spatial dimension of monetary circulation in rural areas still remains difficult to define. e survey conducted by the University Roma Tre in the territory of Leptis Magna (Tripolitania, Libya) could help to fill this gap. e surfaces of the settlements identified have produced abundant numismatic material, which give a reasonable idea of the monetary circulation in rural Tripolitania.
A stepping stone in the Baltic Sea. Two millennia of coin finds and coin use
Journal of Archaeological Numismatics 3, 2013, pp. 1-65, 2013
Abstract – The project ‘A stepping stone in the Baltic Sea’ aimed at investigating coin finds from a specific area from two points of view. From a methodological point of view it investigates the potentials and pitfalls in the use of archaeological material deriving from detector surveys undertaken by amateur archaeologists and the integration of these finds, in casu coins, with finds deriving from other types of investigation or from accidental finds. In the interpretative level this is the first diachronic analysis of coin use covering a whole region of Denmark from the first appearance of coins in the archaeological material until the present day [1]. The paper is divided into three main parts: first an introduction to the material, detector archaeology and Bornholm, followed by the analysis of coins and contexts and conclusions based on the finds, and finally close descriptions of the sites used as main cases.

Money Matters. Coin Finds and Ancient Coin Use
2019
The papers collected in this volume originated in a conference on money and ritual in th Greco-Roman world held in 2015. It also serves as a festschrift of sorts for Hans-Christop Noeske, the doktorvater of both editors and a scholar of coin finds in Roman Egypt. Coin themselves — though catalogued meticulously in many of the articles, with pictures — a not the focus of most of the articles in this collection. Instead, the broad theme of the vol is coin finds: the sites and contexts in which archaeologists find ancient coins, and what might learn from them about how the coins were used. The articles are mostly in English with some in German (4), French (3) and Italian (3).
