Coin Circulation in Late Republican Rome: Monetary Pools, Mobility, and the Presence of Non-Roman Coinage (c. 120–80 BC)

Data evento
22 April 2026

The lecture examines patterns of coin circulation in the city of Rome between second and first centuries BC, drawing on evidence from coin finds from urban excavations. Building on research conducted for my doctoral and earlier specialist work, I explore how material recovered from the so-called sottosuolo urbano can illuminate the composition and dynamics of the Roman monetary pool during a period of profound political and socio-economic transformation.
