The growth of archaeological researches in Italian post-classic contexts during the past forty years allows a first census of the coin finds in churches from the Early Middle Ages to the Modern Age. The goals of this paper are to present the first results of this preliminary study and to discuss some issues related to the documentation and interpretation of these finds, in order to enrich the ongoing debate and to propose new research perspectives. To this end, the numismatic, archaeological and contextual aspects (topography, stratigraphy and formation processes, association of finds, general contexts) have been considered.
La crescita quantitativa negli ultimi quarant’anni delle indagini archeologiche in contesti post-classici in Italia consente di impostare un lavoro di censimento dei ritrovamenti di monete nelle chiese dall’Alto Medioevo fino all’Età Moderna. In questo contributo si illustrano i primi risultati di questo studio preliminare e si discutono le problematiche connesse alla documentazione e all’interpretazione di tali rinvenimenti, al fine di arricchire il dibattito in corso e proporre nuove prospettive di ricerca. Per fare questo sono stati presi in considerazione gli aspetti numismatici quanto quelli archeologici e di contesto (topografia, stratigrafia e processi formativi, associazione dei ritrovamenti, contesti generali).

Abstract
The growth of archaeological researches in Italian post-classic contexts during the past forty years allows a first census of the coin finds in churches from the Early Middle Ages to the Modern Age. The goals of this paper are to present the first results of this preliminary study and to discuss some issues related to the documentation and interpretation of these finds, in order to enrich the ongoing debate and to propose new research perspectives. To this end, the numismatic, archaeological and contextual aspects (topography, stratigraphy and formation processes, association of finds, general contexts) have been considered.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
