Vibius Pansa RRC Since it is the Museum's practice to carefully register every artifact received, it may be presumed that the documentation for these coins had been lost during the convulsive events of the last World War, which certainly resulted in other episodes of partial loss of documentation.
Despite the smaller size of the undocumented group, detailed comparison with the meticulous catalogue published by Quintino Quagliati in ,3 led to the conclusion that these coins are all that remains of Carbonara after the vicissitudes of the war.
As Quagliati reported, the hoard in question was found in August by Michelangelo Coletta in the town of Carbonara district of Bari today , during excavations for the foundations of his house. It consisted of at least Roman Republican silver coins which in November of the same year were illegally sold to an antique dealer of Taranto.
From the latter the judicial authorities recovered specimens, which were delivered to the local Archaeological Museum and then first published in the Quagliati edition, which remains the basis for subsequent studies of the hoard. Of the coins, were denarii and 43 quinarii, from which coins remain today : denarii and 36 quinarii. Therefore 63 coins remain untraceable : 56 denarii and 7 quinarii. It is necessary to give detailed consideration to the pieces missing from Quagliati's publication and the differences mostly minor between his catalogue and the numismatic material published with this note.
