This article aims at offering a general overview of the hoarding phenomenon of Roman Imperial coins in Sicily, of which we still have a lacunary knowledge. I have been collecting any available hoard data from Sicily in numismatic periodicals, scattered articles or notes in archaeological reports, data that I am presenting in general, not at the level of individual coins. Here are listed about fifty hoards, including a few uncertain cases which could be accidental deposits. Moreover, a new hoard from the urban area of the ancient city of Tyndaris, modern Tindari (Patti, Messina) is presented in detail, an important find - even if not conspicuous regarding the number of coins - which can shed a new light about the first Imperial age, so little documented so far in Sicily.

Abstract

This article aims at offering a general overview of the hoarding phenomenon of Roman Imperial coins in Sicily, of which we still have a lacunary knowledge. I have been collecting any available hoard data from Sicily in numismatic periodicals, scattered articles or notes in archaeological reports, data that I am presenting in general, not at the level of individual coins. Here are listed about fifty hoards, including a few uncertain cases which could be accidental deposits. Moreover, a new hoard from the urban area of the ancient city of Tyndaris, modern Tindari (Patti, Messina) is presented in detail, an important find - even if not conspicuous regarding the number of coins - which can shed a new light about the first Imperial age, so little documented so far in Sicily.
