The paper presents the first archaeometric results on a selection of ancient Roman coins (antoniniani) from a treasure found in the Roman necropolis area of ancient Cumae (Southern Italy) during archaeological campaigns by the Centre Jean Bérard. A multi-analytical approach consisting of non-destructive techniques (stereomicroscopy, FESEM-EDS, pXRF, Raman, μ-CT) was implemented on the better-preserved coins of the treasure in order to investigate the chemical composition of the alloy. Chemical analysis showed that the Roman mint prepared the metal with an argentiferous lead–bronze alloy. A group of coins presents a low content of the precious metal, which is in agreement with the financial crisis of the Roman Empire of the third century. Another group of two coins shows a higher silver content, which is in agreement with their issue or with the Mediolanum mint standards. In addition, the external layers of corroded coins were analysed to explore the state of conservation of the patina and to identify the corrosion products. Some typical corrosion patinas due to post-depositional conditions were identified. The mineralogical characterisation of the corrosion products enables us to implement adequate conservation strategies, and the presence of more aggressive patinas suggests immediate interventions.

En 2011, les recherches sur la nécropole nord de Cumes ont été poursuivies grâce aux crédits octroyés par le Ministère des Affaires étrangères et européennes. D’une part une collaboration a été commencée avec l’University of Southampton et la British School at Rome dans le but de couvrir la zone la plus large possible par des prospections géophysiques afin de définir le plus correctement possible le contexte de nos fouilles. D’autre part, nous sommes intervenus sur trois nouveaux secteurs : l...

Activités de fouilles soutenues par : Centre Jean Bérard (USR 3133 CNRS-EFR), Soprintendenza archeologica di Napoli e Pompei et Ministère des Affaires Étrangères (Paris) La nécropole romaine s’étendant au nord de Cumes est en cours de fouille par le Centre Jean Bérard depuis 2001. En 2009, dans le cadre de la publication finale des travaux, quatre secteurs ont fait l’objet d’enquêtes. Trois sont situés le long de la voie qui, sortant de la ville par la porte médiane, se dirige vers le nord : ...
