罗马西班牙发掘的最早已知硬币模具

LaBrújulaVerde报道说，Jaén大学的研究人员在现代Porcuna的Ibero-Roman镇Obulco揭示了最早的斯通硬币模具。

The earliest known stone coin mold from the Roman province of Hispania has been unearthed at the Ibero-Roman town of Obulco, La Brújula Verde reports.

拉布鲁朱拉·韦尔德（LaBrújulaVerde）报道说，来自罗马省西班牙省最早的石币霉菌已在伊贝罗 - 罗马小镇奥布尔科（LaBrújulaVerde）据报道。

Many coin mints emerged in Iberia during the second and first century b.c., but while archaeologists have excavated large numbers of coins, they have uncovered little evidence of the workshops where they were made. The object, which is one half of a bivalve mold used to produce coin blanks, measures about four inches in length. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry of the mold revealed the presence of a binary copper-lead alloy in its metallic impressions, which is consistent with the compositions previously identified in coins from Obulco.

在公元前第二和一世纪，伊比利亚出现了许多硬币薄荷糖，但尽管考古学家已经发掘了大量的硬币，但他们几乎没有发现他们在哪里进行研讨会的证据。该物体是用于生产硬币毛坯的双壳类模具的一半，其长度约为四英寸。霉菌的X射线荧光光谱法揭示了其金属印象中存在二进制铜铅合金，这与先前在Obulco的硬币中鉴定出的组成一致。

Experts determined that the mold was used in the production of bronze coins dated to between 189 and 165 b.c., when the city of Obulco issued its first coins.

专家确定，该模具用于生产至公元前189年至165年的青铜硬币，当时奥布尔科市发行了第一枚硬币。

“This discovery is especially relevant because it offers valuable information about the organization and location of minting establishments in Hispania during the Roman Republican period,” the researchers said in a statement.

研究人员在一份声明中说：“这一发现尤其重要，因为它提供了有关罗马共和党时期铸造机构的组织和位置的宝贵信息。”

On the Mediterranean coast of Spain, about 55 miles east of Seville, lies the small town of Porcuna. At its northern edge, a sprawling archaeological site is still yielding insights into the history of Obulco, an important Ibero-Roman town that was founded in the fifth century b.c. and abandoned in the eighth century a.d. Among the artifacts uncovered at Obulco are the earliest known coins from the Iberian Peninsula.

在西班牙的地中海海岸，位于塞维利亚以东约55英里处，位于小镇的小镇。在其北部边缘，一个庞大的考古遗址仍在洞悉Obulco的历史，Obulco是一个重要的Ibero-Roman小镇，该小镇成立于公元前五世纪，并在公元八世纪被遗弃在Obulco发现的文物中，是伊比利亚Peninsula的最早已知硬币。
