Roman coins were used throughout the Roman Empire, which reached from Britain to Africa and from Spain to Arabia. The Austrian district of Styria, part of the Roman province Noricum, belonged to the Roman currency area, and Roman coins circulated there regularly, thus forming the basis of a monetary economy. For this study, each ancient coin ever found in Styria was registered; they were then entered into a digital database and mapped geographically. This has provided the basis for a reconstruction of coin circulation, currency policies, and the economic, social and migration history from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD. Thus, important information could be gained about economic development in the various Roman settlements in Styria. In some locations, because of external dangers - as for example the Marcomannic invasion from the north - one finds interruptions in the supply of money. The economic crisis of the 3rd century AD can also be clearly seen in the Styrian coin finds. New results with regard to so-called grave-site findings could also be reached. Grave-site findings are those coins that were buried with the dead, of influence in both burials and cremations. more...
