Unofficial Coin Production in Roman Britain
Author(s): Matthew Ponting
Seventy-one samples were taken from a selection of material relating to the manufacture of official and unofficial coins in Roman Britain. They were analysed chemical by inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and the data were investigated using a variety of univaraite and multivariate statistical procedures. The results provide an insight into the way these coins were produced and how they relate to the official coins produced on the Continent. The use of trace element analysis to study die-linked groups of copies is also investigated.
