Numismatica e Archeologia. Monete stratigrafie e contesti. Dati a confronto-Workshop Internazionale di Numismatica, ed. by G. Pardini, N. Parise, F. Marani contains the proceedings of the first International Workshop of Numismatics (WIN), held in Rome between the 28 and 30 September 2011, supported by the Fondazione Roma and organised by the Department of Antiquity Studies of the Sapienza. University of Rome, in partnership with the Department of Cultural Heritage Studies/DISPAC of the University of Salerno, the Department of Ancient World Studies of the University of Tuscia, the Italian Institute of Numismatic, the Department of Coins and Medals and the Department of Prehistory & Europe of the British Museum.

The purpose of the conference was to connect scholars from a different background (numismatics, archaeologists and historians) about the methodology of study and interpretation of coin finds into their archaeological contexts.

The papers published here (more than 40 papers) discuss the results of research in which the study of coins is conducted also considering the archaeological layer and associated artefacts. The perspective is extended to the whole Mediterranean basin, from antiquity to the medieval and modern world. The path, dealing with coin finds in different sites with different functions and occupations, proceeds from Rome and Italy to the West and the East.

This volume is a further important contribution that aims to spread the numismatic data coming from archaeological excavations and to stimulate studies and methodological reflections, considering the current debate on coin finds from archaeological excavations carried out in multi-layered sites and the 'different methods' developed for study them. Thanks to the data that can be deduced from coin find, it is possible to obtain a better understanding of the historical, cultural and economic context that produced the coins, used it and finally lost or discarded it.
