Abstract
The origin of Ferrarese coinage is still unclear and not completely explained. Through the examination of a range of documentary sources and the archaeometrical and stylistic analysis of coins and archaeological evidence, this paper seeks to suggest a new chronology of the minting right granted to the Comune of Ferrara by the Emperors, and consequently of the earliest series of the denari ferrarini. This new chronology also implies a new interpretation of the political and economical aspect of the coinage of the city in the XII and XIII centuries.File in questo prodotto:
