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

Abstract

The impressive amount of Augustean coins coming from the Thraco-Moesia area (classified in numismatic terms as “Limesfalsa”), raises some juridical and technical questions as to who were the issuing authorities and to the production techniques involved. 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:
