Abstract

The WONDERCOINS project (TED2021-131704A-I00 / PY20_01295) arises for the launch of a platform for research and dissemination of ancient monetary finds recovered in the south of the Iberian Peninsula and north of Morocco. With a chronological orientation between the fourth centuries BC and sixth AD, the platform aims to fill a gap in current numismatic research in Portugal, Morocco, and Spain, where there is no such tool. In order to do this, the Dédalo digital database manager is used, an application installed by multiple numismatists throughout Europe. Our approach will be oriented mainly to conserving and disseminating the archaeological contexts of the monetary finds, whether individual or as a whole. In addition, it will offer the possibility of making online maps to analyse monetary circulation and has statistical tools for the analytical dissemination of the data.
