Giacomo Pardini
Giacomo Pardini is a Research Fellow in Ancient Numismatics in the Department of Cultural Heritage Science at the University of Salerno, where he teaches graduate level courses in Ancient Numismatics (http://docenti.unisa.it/029260/home). He has an undergraduate degree in Lettere Antiche (with a focus in Methodology of Archaeological Research) and an M.A. in Classical Archaeology (with a focus on Greek and Roman Numismatics), both from La Sapienza University in Rome. He holds a Ph.D. in Methods and Methodology of Archaeological and Art Historical Research from the University of Salerno. During the 2014-2015 Academic year he was a Margo Tytus Visiting Fellow in the Department of Classics at the University of Cincinnati (OH-USA). He has taken part in numerous archaeological excavations in Rome (Meta Sudans and North-eastern slopes of the Palatine), at Monteleone Sabino-RI (Trebula Mutuesca), and in Syria (Tell Barri/Kahat), holding leadership positions. His research focuses on the relationship between archaeological contexts and ancient numismatics, the interpretation of coins from excavation, monetary circulation in antiquity, and ancient trade. He authored several papers on coin findings in particular from Rome and Pompeii, on the Augustan Meta Sudans, and on the Curiae Veteres sanctuary in Rome.

Papers by Giacomo Pardini
A total amount of 90 coins has been found, mainly consisting of late Roman bronze specimens which served as local small change currency; Gothic and Byzantine coins in silver and gold are also well attested, offering a very representative view of integration of old 4th-5th centuries issues in the trimetallic 6th century monetary system, as well of their re-use within the Lom- bard society.
Area III is the easternmost of the four Areas the excavation site is divided into. It is situated at the northeast corner of the hill slope, looking out onto present-day Piazza del Colosseo, within the limits of a vast sanctuary identifiable as the Curiae Veteres. According to tradition, this cultic complex was built by Romulus and totally rebuilt after the fire of July, AD 64. Its reconstruction was begun by Nero and completed by the emperors of the Flavian dynasty. The sanctuary lived on, through various sometimes radical renovations, until the fourth century.

Nel corso dell’Incontro verranno analizzati rinvenimenti monetali da Roma (Palatino), Cascia (Santuario e vicus di Villa San Silvestro) e San Miniato (mansio, cimitero altomedievale e vicus di San Genesio) per riflettere sui problemi associati alla lettura, all’interpretazione e alla divulgazione scientifica del dato numismatico.
Il dibattito vuole porre l’attenzione sulla necessità della revisione e messa in atto di un metodo concordato e formale che permetta di usufruire di tutte quante le informazioni fornite dal contesto archeologico al quale la moneta è associata; infatti, solo attraverso l’integrazione dei dati si potrà migliorare il significato del rinvenimento monetale da scavo archeologico e la comprensione dell’uso della moneta e dei suoi modi di circolazione.

The aim of this paper is to add yet more data to the existing databank of metallographic analysis of Iberian coinages, and present the results of an analysis and comparison of the composition of the bronze coins of the Punic mint of Ebusus and the Iberian mints of NE Spain, during the 3rd-1st c. B.C.E.: 339 coins were analyzed using XRF spectroscopy. In the case of Ebusus, the sample was large enough to make possible a diachronic study of the metal composition during the life of this mint.
