Nuovi dati sulla documentazione numismatica di età tardoromana ad Altino

Abstract

Recent coin finds in ancient Altino allow us to reconsider the representativeness of previous, already published coin finds from the same city. The comparison between old and new samples of Late Roman coins (294 to 498 AD) from Altino shows that there are only relatively slight differences, if you consider all the coins as a whole. On the contrary, if you take specific sub-samples (defined by chronology, origin or typology) into account, it emerges that there are some considerable discrepancies, and it is therefore evident that the these sub-samples are far less representative.
