Metallurgical and Technological Investigation on Augustean Auxiliary Coins from Thraco-Moesia

Year: 2011

Type: article

In the present investigation a representative sampling of such coins, based on metallographic and chemical analysis, was compared on the basis of metallographic and chemical analysis to some regular coins coming from the mint of Rome. The main results can be summarized as follows:
