Roman Republican and Imperial Report Final REPORT ON ROMAN REPUBLICAN AND ROMAN IMPERIAL COINS Prepared on behalf of the International Association of Professional Numismatists for the United States Cultural Property Advisory Committee June 26, 2020 Roman Republican Coin Finds Beyond the Borders of the Italian Republic Definition The term “Roman Republican coinage” refers to gold, silver and bronze coins struck between c. 326 BC, the accepted date of the first Romano-Campanian bronze issue naming the Romans in Greek script, and 27 BC, the year in which Octavian assumed broad constitutional powers and the title Augustus, an act that established him as the first Roman Emperor. Mints and Bullion Sources The primary mint of the Roman Republic was located in the Temple of Juno Moneta at Rome, where vast quantities of metal derived from sources outside Italy, such as plunder, indemnities on defeated enemies, taxes imposed on conquered cities and peoples, and the mines of Spain were struck into coin.1 According to Plutarch’s Life of Pompey (45.3) in the year 60 BC alone, the value of silver brought to Rome from these provincial sources amounted to some 85 million denarii (roughly equivalent to 316 US tons). Metallurgical analyses show that before the late second century, Roman Republican denarii are composed primarily of silver with isotope signatures linking them to sources in Asia Minor.2 All of this raises a real moral conundrum even before questions of extra-Italian circulation and find evidence are considered. Since the metal for Roman Republican coins largely comes from sources outside of Italy—most commonly by looting and coercion—and can be shown through scientific means to have come from specific sources, who should the coins belong to? International law (Article 8 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court) condemns wartime looting as a crime and whenever possible would seek to restore looted property to its rightful owner. Taking this into account it seems very much unclear whether Roman Republican coins that can be shown to have been produced from plundered bullion should belong to the modern Republic of Italy simply because this foreign metal was melted down and struck into coins at Rome. Surely at least an equal (and arguably morally superior) claim to rights over these coins should belong to modern states like Spain and Turkey since it was from their ancient peoples and territories that the Romans looted the metal for their production. It is also important to be aware that while the mint of Rome was the main mint for the Roman Republic, several Republican issues are known or believed by scholars to have been struck at mints located outside the territorial limits of the Republic of Italy. In many cases these are thought to have been military mints moving with Roman commanders 1 M. J. Taylor, “State Finance in the Middle Roman Republic: A Reevaluation,” American Journal of Philology 138.1 (2017), 160-166. 2 W. Hollstein, ed. Metallanalytische Untersuchungen an Münzen der römischen Republik (Berlin: Gebr. Mann., 2000), 122-123. 2 striking coins from plundered bullion in order to pay their legions. Table 1 lists mints of Roman Republican coins known ore believed to have been located in eight modern countries outside of Italy. It is unclear how such coins can be considered Italian cultural property when they were produced outside of Italy, using locally obtained bullion (via plunder, taxes, etc.), and possibly even local manpower to cast the flans and strike the coins.

Antonius) 31 BC 545/1-2 Libya Cyrenaica 31 BC 546/1-8 Finds of Rome Mint Republican Coins outside of Italy The widespread extra-Italian circulation of coins struck by the moneyers and dynasts of the Roman Republic cannot be disputed in light of the data presented in Map 1 and Table 2. Map 1 graphically illustrates the wide dispersal of hoards throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, based on a search for Republican coins of the Rome mint in the Ashmolean Museum’s online database Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire (http://chre.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/) (the list of precise locations is given in Supplement 1). Table 2a provides the data for 37,571 individual pieces found in hoards and archaeological excavations from 16 different modern states published in the print 3 volumes of Roman Republican Coin Hoards, the online database of Coin Hoards of the Roman Republic (http://numismatics.org/chrr/) Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards, the Coin Hoards series of the Royal Numismatic Society, and major excavation reports with dedicated numismatic sections, the table does not (and cannot) take into account the numerous private finds reported in various media, or unpublished find records from archaeological sites. Therefore it is virtually certain that the real quantity of Roman Republican coins found outside of Italy and is much greater than the table might suggest. The vast majority of the Roman Republican coins found outside of Italy is silver denarii (the most common Roman denomination struck in the republican period) although bronze coins also appear, especially as excavation finds.3 The denarius was the standard coin used to pay the legions and therefore traveled widely throughout the Mediterranean world as the Roman Republic acquired an overseas empire over the course of the third-first centuries BC.4 The prevalence of republican silver as opposed to bronze outside of Italy is explained by the general tendency of pre-imperial Roman bronze coins to circulate close to the place of issue and by the fact that for the majority of the republican period bronze coins were struck in very limited quantities compared to the vast output of denarii.5 Nevertheless, it is worth noting that even the large bronze currency bars known as aes signatum, which one would not expect to find outside of Italy, actually appear hoarded in the Balkans.6 Table 2a: Finds of Rome Mint Republican Coins outside of 3 Greece Hierapytna IGCH 318 200 Greece Hierapytna IGCH 352 1 Greece Lechaena CH VIII 417 1 Greece Vonitsa CH VIII 431 2 Greece Nekromantion CH VIII 530 17 Greece Preveza CH VIII 542 17 Greece Dolj County CH VIII 543 93 Romania Sfintesti IGCH 656 21 Romania Beius IGCH 657 1 Romania Furculesti IGCH 658 100 Greece Cavalla IGCH 660 3 It has been pointed out recently that foreign coins account for more than a quarter of the finds at archaeological sites: F. de Callataÿ, “Greek Coins from Archaeological Excavations: A Conspectus of Conspectuses and a Call for Chronological Tables,” in P. van Alfen (ed.), Agoranomia: Studies in Money and Exchange Presented to John H.

  • Tharros – Capo San Marco in the Phoenician and Punic Age
    Archeologia e Calcolatori 28.2, 2017, 321-331 THARROS – CAPO SAN MARCO IN THE PHOENICIAN AND PUNIC AGE. GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS AND VIRTUAL REBUILDING The Phoenician and Punic colony of Tharros in the Gulf of Oristano, in the mid-west of Sardinia, is distinguished by an archaic phase dating back to the beginning of the 7th century BC; it is documented by the tofet findings, on the hill of Murru Mannu, and by the incineration and inhumation tombs located in the cemeterial areas in Capo San Marco, to the S, and in the vil- lage of San Giovanni di Sinis to the N. The period of maximum development and monumentalization was during the 6th century BC, when Tharros was probably the Qarthadasht of Sardinia, the administrative capital of Carthage (Fariselli in press). A few sacred public buildings in the city center and multiple hypogeal funerary structures date back to the Punic phase, which is, therefore, only partially known for the site. The archaeological evidence in the urban area intra muros mainly refers to the Roman and early medieval periods. The city was definitively abandoned around the year 1000 AD due to likely geomorphological problems still to be fully defined, maybe land or mudslides towards the gulf. The Saracens’ incursions could also be one of the reasons of the progressive depopulation in favor of the more protected hinterland (Del Vais 2015, 44). The systematic spoliation of the city’s buildings, used as a quarry for a long time, make the reconstruction of the population and frequentation’s phases very complex. The Chair for Phoenician-Punic Archaeology at the University of Bolo- gna, under my own direction, has resumed investigations on the field since 2012.

  • Aux Débuts De L'archéologie Moderne Roumaine: Les Fouilles D'atmageaua
    Aux débuts de l’archéologie moderne roumaine: les fouilles d’Atmageaua Tătărască∗ Radu-Alexandru DRAGOMAN** Abstract: This text is an analysis of the archive resulting from the 1929-1931, 1933 and 1935 archaeological research at Atmageaua Tătărască, southern Dobrudja (today Sokol, in Bulgaria). The excavations at Atmageaua Tătărască are relevant for the history of Romanian archeology because they correspond to the time of formation and institutionalization of a scientific approach considered to be “modern” and of a research philosophy that would dominate the archaeological practice ever since. The text seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the beginnings of the discipline and also advocates for the redefinition of the current archaeological practice. Rezumat: Textul reprezintă o analiză a arhivei rezultate în urma cercetărilor arheologice din 1929-1931, 1933 şi 1935 de la Atmageaua Tătărască, sudul Dobrogei (astăzi Sokol, în Bulgaria). Săpăturile de la Atmageaua Tătărască sunt relevante pentru istoria arheologiei românești, deoarece corespund perioadei de formare şi instituţionalizare a unei demers ştiinţific considerat a fi „modern” şi a unei filosofii de cercetare ce va domina practica arheologică de atunci încolo. Textul își propune să contribuie la o mai bună înțelegere a începuturilor disciplinei și, totodată, pledează pentru redefinirea practicii arheologice din prezent. Keywords: History of archaeology, modern archaeology, “lovers of antiquities”, archive, Atmageaua Tătărască, Romania.

    Iulian BOLDEA, Cornel Sigmirean (Editors), DEBATING GLOBALIZATION. Identity, Nation and Dialogue Section: History, Political Sciences, International Relations THE EVOLUTION OF CIVIL AND MILITARY HABITAT IN THE PERIOD LATÈNE ON THE TERRITORY OF ROMANIA Ioana Olaru PhD, “George Enescu” National University of Arts, Iaşi Abstract:In this paper, we will focus on the second period of the Iron Age, Latène (in fact, only its first two phases, the one of formation and spreading, after which the inhabitants of these territories will enter Antiquity, for Prehistory has ended), presented from the point of view of its settlements, and also of the civil and military constructions. The settlements and tenements of the entire Iron Age reflect the continuity of migrations, through limited, through the sedentarization and fortification of many of the settlements, which became true centres of unions of tribes. The urbanization process started in Hallstatt will continue in Latène, in the context of development of tribal aristocracy, as a result of unions of tribes that became more and more stable. Becoming bigger and bigger, the population needed bigger settlements, fortified, whose evolution will be monitored, from the davae of the Dacians from the forming period, to the quasi-urban settlements from the second period, the one of spreading during the period Latène, in the great fortresses built now (that will continue their development during the time of Burebista). The buildings become more and more complex, there are three types of described plans: rectangular, apse like, circular, and also the tower-tenements. Keywords: murus dacicus, opus quadratum, opus mixtum, megaron, emplecton Alcătuită din Epoca bronzului și Epoca fierului, Epoca metalelor este perioada în care apar primele semne ale unei revoluții statal-urbane, iar uneltele din piatră sunt înlocuite cu cele din metal (proces început încă de la sfârșitul Eneoliticului).
