现代波形的奥布尔科考古遗址的这一突破性发现揭示了最早用于硬币生产的已知石模具

LaBrújulaVerde首先报道了这一重要发现，强调了该发现在理解古代货币实践中的重要性。

Researchers have uncovered the earliest known stone mold used for coin production in the Roman province of Hispania, at the archaeological site of Obulco, modern-day Porcuna. This mold, which was used to create coin blanks during the 2nd century BCE, is one half of a bivalve mold and measures approximately 11 cm in height, 13.7 cm in length, and 5.4 cm in width. It has a flat surface with circular casting marks and signs of thermal use, indicating its role in the coin-making process. Petrographic analysis confirmed that the stone used for its manufacture originated from the local geological unit of Porcuna.

研究人员发现了在现代波库纳（Porcuna）奥布尔科（Obulco）考古遗址的罗马省西班牙省（Roman省）中最早用于硬币生产的石材模具。该模具用于在公元前2世纪用来创建硬币毛坯，是双壳类模具的一半，高度约为11厘米，长度为13.7厘米，宽度为5.4 cm。它具有平坦的表面，带有圆形铸造痕迹和热使用的迹象，表明其在硬币制造过程中的作用。岩石学分析证实，用于制造的石材起源于波经的当地地质单位。

The mold was discovered in a suburban area near the city's fortifications, raising questions about the mint's location within Obulco's urban layout. Similar findings at Carteia, another identified mint, suggest that minting workshops may have been situated in peripheral areas under local magistrates' or military control.

该霉菌是在城市防御工事附近的一个郊区发现的，引发了有关薄荷在Obulco城市布局中的位置的疑问。 Carteia的类似发现是另一位薄荷糖，这表明铸造厂可能位于当地地方法院或军事控制下的外围地区。

Obulco, a key city in the Upper Guadalquivir region during the Iberian and Roman periods, was one of the most active mints in southern Hispania, issuing coins from the late 3rd century to the 1st century BCE. The city's coins are known for their iconography, which reflects Obulco's integration into the Roman economic system.

奥布尔科（Obulco）是伊比利亚和罗马时期上瓜达基维尔地区的主要城市，是西班牙南部最活跃的造币厂之一，从3世纪后期到公元前1世纪发行了硬币。该市的硬币以其肖像而闻名，它反映了奥布尔科（Obulco）与罗马经济体系的融合。

During the period of the Roman Republic, several mints emerged across the Iberian Peninsula, usually issuing coins regularly or sporadically from the late 3rd century to the 1st century BCE. However, despite the wealth of coin emissions, tangible evidence of these production workshops is scarce, often limited to coins themselves found in various archaeological contexts.

在罗马共和国期间，伊比利亚半岛上出现了几种薄荷糖，通常从3世纪后期到公元前1世纪定期或偶尔发行硬币。但是，尽管硬币排放丰富，但这些生产研讨会的切实证据很少，通常仅限于在各种考古背景下发现的硬币本身。

This scarcity has posed challenges in precisely locating the mints, mapping the production chain, and understanding the social structures surrounding these artisanal spaces.

这种稀缺性在精确定位薄荷糖，绘制生产链以及了解这些手工空间的社会结构方面面临着挑战。

The recently uncovered mold is a significant contribution to the study of monetary practices in Republican Hispania. It provides valuable insights into the technical aspects of coin production, showcasing the craftsmanship involved in creating the raw metal discs that would later be stamped into coins.

最近被发现的霉菌是对共和党西班牙省货币实践研究的重要贡献。它为硬币生产的技术方面提供了宝贵的见解，展示了创建原始金属光盘所涉及的手工艺，后来将被盖在硬币中。

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry analysis revealed a binary copper-lead alloy in the mold's metallic impressions, consistent with the compositions found in coins from Obulco. Researchers have linked this mold to the production of bronze asses dated between 189 and 165 BCE, placing it within one of the first coin series issued by the city.

X射线荧光光谱法分析显示，霉菌的金属印象中有二元铜铅合金，与Obulco的硬币中发现的组成一致。研究人员将这种模具与公元前189年至165年之间的青铜驴的生产联系起来，将其置于该市发行的第一个硬币系列之一。

This discovery is sure to spark further research into the locations and operations of these critical economic spaces in Republican Hispania.

这一发现肯定会引发对共和党西班牙省这些关键经济空间的位置和运营的进一步研究。
