Projects and contracts until 2021:

• ARCH: Ancient Coinage as Related Cultural Heritage (2018-2021) PCI2018-092877
• IP: Pere Pau Ripollés

The project will establish, for the first time, an overarching platform for the study, curation, archiving and preservation of the monetary heritage of the ancient world. The project will develop one geographical focus – Pre-Roman Spain and southern Gaul – in the form of a specific online reference tool (Monedaiberica) that will draw upon public collections and objects in commerce, as well as a program of research designed to exploit the opportunities offered by a Linked Open Data infrastructure. This will examine questions of monetary and cultural connectivity and interaction across the borders of Spain and France in antiquity, in collaboration with leading scholars in the monetary and cultural history of this geographical area, working as Associate Partners based in Oxford, Paris, Bordeaux, Orléans, and Valencia.
