In the recent excavation survey published on the medieval Jewish necropolis in via Orfeo, Bologna, there is no discussion of the coins and token that had been found. This contribution addresses the omission by highlighting the deducing data as well as the critical issues that can be encountered in this type of study. After laying out the excavation’s framework, the article turns its attention to the recovered coins and token, considering them in the stratigraphies in which they were found and in their broader historical contexts.
Nella recente edizione complessiva dello scavo della necropoli medievale ebraica di via Orfeo a Bologna (CURINA–DI STEFANO 2019) manca lo studio delle monete e della tessera mercatile rinvenuti. L’obiettivo di questo contributo è proprio quello di colmare questa lacuna evidenziando i dati desumibili, ma anche le criticità che si possono incontrare in questo tipo di studio. Dopo un inquadramento dello scavo ci si soffermerà sulle monete e sulla tessera mercantile recuperate, mettendole in relazione alle stratigrafie di ritrovamento e, più in generale, a contesti assimilabili.

Abstract
In the recent excavation survey published on the medieval Jewish necropolis in via Orfeo, Bologna, there is no discussion of the coins and token that had been found. This contribution addresses the omission by highlighting the deducing data as well as the critical issues that can be encountered in this type of study. After laying out the excavation’s framework, the article turns its attention to the recovered coins and token, considering them in the stratigraphies in which they were found and in their broader historical contexts.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
