The SILVER website is a by-product of the SILVER ERC, led by Francis Albarède (ENS-Lyon). The SILVER ERC aims to study the flow of silver in the ancient world in a doubly innovative way. On the one hand, by studying the isotopic compositions of both coins and ores; on the other, by working on lead and silver isotopes. A series of papers has already been published, to which we refer the reader 1 2 3 4 56 7 8 9 10 11.
The SILVER website, for its part, does not focus on metallographic analysis but on two types of numismatic data: die-studies and overstrikes (surfrappes, Überprägungen, riconazioni), with the aim of gaining a better understanding of the production and circulation of money in the Mediterranean basin in the broadest sense. It brings together and makes accessible two databases launched by François de Callataÿ more than 25 years ago.
The ERC SILVER project is led by Francis AlbarèdeORCID 0000-0003-1994-1428 who enthusiastically supported the creation of this website whose two portals were designed by François de CallataÿORCID 0000-0002-5381-2534 and developped by Bernhard KrabinaORCID 0000-0002-6871-3037.
Currently, there are 2,771 entries in the database.
The Die-Studies Database (DSD) aims to gather and make available all the produced die-studies for the Graeco-Roman world in its broad acceptance from Spain to India. It is intended to offer a key tool for putting monetary productions into perspective and estimating their volumes. The DSD largely enlarges and improves the c. 630 cases collected and presented by the two Recueils quantitatifs de la production monétaire for the Greek world 12 13. Dr. Caroline Carrier has prepared the spreadsheets for some 1,800 coin die-studies. Additional help was brought by stagiaires: Cloé Heemskerk (Brussels, ULB), Marie-Alix Bilgischer (Brussels, ULB) and Baptiste Gil y Hurtado (Lyon, ENS).
Currently, there are 2,963 entries in the database.
The Greek Overstrikes Database (GOD) aims to gather and make available all the known overstrikes for the Greek world in its broad acceptance from Spain to India whatever the metal (but gold overstrikes are rare). Overstrikes are of course a decisive tool for chronologies (what is below is before) but they also prove to be of fundamental importance for the study of coin circulation, especially for the silver flows, hence this development into the frame of the project SILVER. The various material collected for GOD has been gathered since 2010 by François de CallataÿORCID 0000-0002-5381-2534 with the great help of David MacDonald 14 15. Dr. Caroline Carrier has prepared the spreadsheets for some 2,000 overstrikes. Great additional help was provided by Sonia Hanczack (Lyon, ENS).
