Abstract

The Hellenistic quarter of Poggiarello Renzetti, within the city walls of Vetulonia, was explored in the late 19th century by Isidoro Falchi. In this area he recovered a large number of coins with legend “vatl”, now in the collection of the National Archaeological Museum in Florence, that confirmed the attribution to Vetulonia. Unfortunately little information was recorded about their find and the dating of the series is still under discussion. The yearly excavation campaigns undertaken between 1985 and 1990 in this quarter have provided new numismatic data. The excavations brought to light a domus built at the end of the 3rd/beginning of the 2nd century BC and destroyed probably under Sulla. This paper presents the numismatic finds, that consists of a sardo-punic bronze coin, several sextans of Vetulonia and asses and fractions of the Roman Janus/prow series. For the first time specimens of Vetulonia have been recovered in a stratigraphic context, associated to pottery and other materials. The new data support the hypothesis that sextans of the “trident with dolphins” series were probably minted in the last quarter of the 3rd century BC and were still circulating during the 2nd century BC
