Numismatics
This research line of the Terralba project has centred on the documentation of coin finds that allow us to know the monetary use in the rural areas of the Punic world. Based on a similar case developed in the center - south of the Ibiza island (Ripollès et al. 2009), the Terralba project now approaches the study of the Terralbese area, in the center - west of Sardinia.
The above-mentioned region constituted a territory well delimited controlled by the ancient city of Neapolis. From the 1990’s it has been intensely prospected, and in the following decade several excavations were carried out on small Punic farms. This, together with the existence of a notable numismatic collection, made up of local findings and never published before, allows us to offer a very enriching panorama on the coin use and circulation between the 4th and 1st centuries BC.
Most of the coins published in this web come from the collection of Gino Artudi and Sandro Perra, donated to the Italian State.
