Abstract
Archaeological excavations in the area of the Bishop’s Curia of Tergeste and Piazzetta Santa Lucia carried out between 2005-2008 recovered some Roman imperial coins and a little hoard of antoniniani and bronze coins. The single finds are entirely in the same pattern as the well-known circulation in the urban area of Tergeste. The small hoard provides an interesting case study documenting the hoarding of antoniniani and the revaluation of bronze before Aurelian’s reform (274), economic and monetary phenomena well known in the neighboring regions of Dalmatia and Pannonia, but not so much in Venetia et Histria.
Negli scavi archeologici nell’area della Curia Vescovile tergestina e Piazzetta santa Lucia eseguiti tra il 2005-2008 sono stati rinvenuti alcune monete romane imperiali e un gruzzolo di antoniniani e nominali in bronzo. I singoli rinvenimenti sono del tutto coerenti con il circolante noto per l’area urbana di Tergeste. Il piccolo gruzzolo rappresenta un interessante caso di studio che documenta la tesaurizzazione dell’antoniniano e la rivalutazione del bronzo ante riforma di Aureliano (274), fenomeni ben noti nelle regioni della vicina Dalmatia e Pannonia, meno nella Venetia et Histria.
