• Resumen

  • This article examines the excavations and coin discoveries at Aeclanum, a Roman city in Italy, between the 4th and 6th centuries CE. The excavations reveal a vibrant city despite the impact of a major earthquake and volcanic eruption. The coins found span from the 3rd century BCE to the early 6th century CE, with a decline in weight and size during the late 5th century. The distribution of coins suggests a bustling commercial area in the city. Overall, the findings shed light on the economy and daily life in Aeclanum during this period.
