The so-called Potinklumpen, which was found in the city zone of Zurich in 1890, consists of about 17.200 to 18.000 late Latène potin coins which are melted together. Only two types of coins could be identified: potin coins of the Zurich type and of the «Sequani» type (group A). The spectrum of the types shows close parallels to that of the Late Latène settlement on the nearby Üetliberg. Therefore the «Potinklumpen» can be dated to around 100 B.C. Within the Turicum-project of the University of Bern, which is sponsered by the Swiss National Science Foundation, a number of scientific surveys could be realized in co-operation with the Swiss National Museum. They provide new knowledge concerning the composition, the reconstruction of the melting-process and the chronology. Several possibilities for interpretation are discussed on the ba sis of the reconstructed melting-process as well as on comparable finds.

This edited collection analyses the phenomenon of coin use for religious and ritual purposes in different cultures and across different periods of time. It proposes an engagement with the theory and interpretation of the ‘material turn’ with numismatic evidence, and an evidence-based series of discussions to offer a fuller, richer and fresh account of coin use in ritual contexts. No extensive publication has previously foregrounded coins in such a model, despite the fact that coins constitute an integrated part of the material culture of most societies today and of many in the past. Here, interdisciplinary discussions are organised around three themes: coin deposit and ritual practice, the coin as economic object and divine mediator, and the value and meaning of coin offering. Although focusing on the medieval period in Western Europe, the book includes instructive cases from the Roman period until today. The collection brings together well-established and emerging scholars from archaeology, art history, ethnology, history and numismatics, and great weight is given to material evidence which can complement and contradict the scarce written sources.

Ein Schatz keltischer Silbermünzen am Rand der Autobahn – das ist nur eine von vielen archäologischen Entdeckungen auf der neuen ICE-Trasse zwischen Ulm und Stuttgart. Von 2010 bis 2016 untersuchten Archäologen des Landesamts für Denkmalpfl ege die Flächen für die Neubaustrecke und parallel dazu diejenigen für den Ausbau der A 8 zwischen Hohenstadt und Ulm. Die Ausgrabungen erbrachten einzigartige Einblicke in die Besiedlungsgeschichte der Schwäbischen Alb von der Jungsteinzeit bis in das Hohe Mittelalter. Gräber, Siedlungen und Verkehrswege zeugen von der Nutzung der Region in den verschiedenen Epochen. Dabei kam auch so manche Überraschung zu Tage wie der Münzschatz, aber auch Spuren großer keltischer Gehöfte, bisher unbekannte römische Gutsanlagen in reiner Holzbauweise, ein römisches Heiligtum samt Gräberfeld, Spuren frühalamannischer Gehöfte, ein großer alamannischer Reihengräberfriedhof und Wegstrecken, die sich anhand von Tausenden von Schuhnägeln rekonstruieren ließen. Dabei wurde auch deutlich, dass sich unsere modernen Mobilitätswege offenbar an Verkehrsachsen orientieren, die Jahrtausende zurückreichen.
41 Minuten – das entspricht künftig der Fahrtzeit im Regionalverkehr auf der ICE Neubaustrecke über die Schwäbische Alb.

Keltische Münzen waren im Gebiet der heutigen Schweiz von der Mitte des 3. bis an das Ende des 1. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. in Gebrauch. Unterschiedliche Naturräume, aber auch Einflüsse aus Ostgallien, Norditalien und Süddeutschland führten in unserem Gebiet zu einem vielfältigen Münzspektrum. Die Fundmünzen aus dem Gebiet der Schweiz wurden im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojektes ausgewertet und die Ergebnisse in der Monographien-Reihe des Inventars der Fundmünzen der Schweiz (IFS) veröffentlicht. Der folgende Artikel zeigt anhand ausgewählter Funde aus dem Kanton Solothurn einige auch überregional relevante Aspekte des keltischen Geldwesens. Zur Sprache kommen wertvolle Goldmünzen aus der Anfangszeit der keltischen Münzprägung, verloren gegangenes Kleingeld einer Höhensiedlung und der Währungswechsel von Buntmetallmünzen zu Silbergeld im frühen 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr.

A la fin de l'automne 1854, un ouvrier employe par l'agriculteur Jakob Ramser decouvrait 19 monnaies en argent en labourant un champ au lieu-dit "Hofmatt" sur le Belpberg (commune de Belp, BE). Pendant longtemps, on a suppose que cet ensemble de 19 pieces etait complet. Depuis 1999, la zone fait regulierement l'objet d'un passage au detecteur de metaux pour controle et jusqu'en 2015, 82 monnaies d'argent supplementaires sont decouvertes.

Résumé: L’usage de monnaies sur le territoire suisse à l’époque de La Tène a débuté avec des imitations précoces de pièces macédoniennes en or, vers le milieu du 3e siècle av. J.-C., alors qu’un monnayage produit régionalement n’est attesté qu’à partir de la première moitié du siècle suivant. Avec l’accroissement des échanges à longue distance et l’apparition d’agglomérations étendues, à La Tène finale (dès env. 150 av. J.-C.), s’est développé un système monétaire différencié, composé à la fois de monnaies d’or, d’argent et d’alliage cuivreux. On observe des échanges monétaires réguliers à l’ouest et au nord du territoire suisse à la transition entre La Tène D1 et D2 (vers 80 av. J.-C.). L’usage de l’argent, désormais dominant sous la forme de nouveaux types de quinaires, s’explique vraisemblablement par la nécessité de financer des armées. Des monnaies de bronze celtiques seront encore frappées au début de la période de la domination romaine, à la fin du 1er siècle av. J.-C.: elles représentent alors une compensation bienvenue au manque de petites dénominations dans les provinces rhénanes.
Riassunto: In Svizzera l’utilizzo delle monete è cominciato durante l’epoca di La Tène con imitazioni precoci di monete auree della Macedonia attorno alla metà del III sec. a.C. La coniatura delle monete sul territorio elvetico, per contro, è documentata a partire dal II sec. a.C. Dal La Tène tardo (150 a.C. circa), con l’aumento dei traffici a lunga distanza e lo sviluppo di insediamenti di grandi dimensioni, si diffonde un sistema monetale costituito da monete d’oro, d’argento e di bronzo. Durante la transizione tra il LT D1 e il LT D2 (verso l’80 a.C.) in gran parte delle regioni della Svizzera occidentale e settentrionale è attestato un vero e proprio sistema di cambio di valuta. La grande diffusione dei quinari in argento è da ricollegare, con ogni probabilità, al soldo dei militari. Le ultime monete celtiche di bronzo verranno coniate sotto il dominio romano verso il I sec. a.C. Esse rappresenteranno una apprezzata alternativa per far fronte all’insufficienza di monete nelle province renane.

Im vorliegenden Jahrbuch des Historischen Vereins Glarus werden erstmals alle im Kanton Glarus entdeckten Münzfunde vorgelegt. Es handelt sich dabei um mehr als 140 (oder 290?) antike und 50 mittelalterliche und neuzeitliche Münzen. Daneben wurden auch münzähnliche Objekte wie ein Münzgewicht, Medaillen oder Spielgeld, die uns als Funde überliefert sind, in den Katalog aufgenommen. Ein nach Epochen getrennter Kommentar erschliesst den Fundbestand. Zudem werden kurz die Funde mit Glarner Münzen in der Schweiz gestreift.

The so-called Potinklumpen, which was found in the city zone of Zurich in 1890, consists of about 17.200 to 18.000 late Latène potin coins which are melted together. Only two types of coins could be identified: potin coins of the Zurich type and of the «Sequani» type (group A). The spectrum of the types shows close parallels to that of the Late Latène settlement on the nearby Üetliberg. Therefore the «Potinklumpen» can be dated to around 100 B.C. Within the Turicum-project of the University of Bern, which is sponsered by the Swiss National Science Foundation, a number of scientific surveys could be realized in co-operation with the Swiss National Museum. They provide new knowledge concerning the composition, the reconstruction of the melting-process and the chronology. Several possibilities for interpretation are discussed on the ba sis of the reconstructed melting-process as well as on comparable finds.

Eher beiläufig erwähnten G. Lenz-Bernhard und H. Bernhard 1991 in ihrer umfangreichen Arbeit über die spätlatènezeitliche und frührömische Besiedlung des Oberrheingebietes einen 1989 oder kurz danach gemachten Fund keltischer Münzen vom Limburgerhof, Lkr. Ludwigshafen in Rheinland-Pfalz. Er wurde dort als „zerstreuter Schatzfund?“ bestehend aus „ca. 250 Potinen der Leuker, Sequaner, Senonen sowie KALETEDOV-Quinaren und weiteren Kleinmünzen“ in die Literatur eingeführt. Schließlich erschien 1996 eine von H. Ehrend und Th. Horn in Eigenverlag herausgegebene kleine Schrift mit dem Titel „Ein Keltenschatz im Stoppelacker“. Der exakte Fundort der dort mit Abbildung publizierten Münzen und anderen auf einem Acker aufgelesenen Artefakte wird zwar nicht genannt, doch geben die Autoren einen Anhalt mit der Umschreibung „die Dörfer um Speyer“, zu denen auch der Limburgerhof gezählt werden kann. Trotz dieser ungenauen Angaben lässt ein vergleichender Blick auf die Beschreibung der Fundstücke in beiden Literaturzitaten keine Zweifel, dass im einen wie im anderen Fall von demselben Fund die Rede ist. Ehrend und Horn vermuten hinter den Münzen ein durch den Pflug zerstreutes Depot, obwohl der Finder „seit drei Jahren“ den Acker begeht und immer wieder neue Exemplare entdeckt. Das einzige Argument, das sie dafür ins Feld führen, ist der Umstand, dass sich die Stücke auf einem verhältnismäßig „kleinen Areal“ konzentrieren. Da deshalb aber eine Interpretation als Hort keinesfalls zwingend erscheint, sollen hier auf der Basis einer eingehenden vergleichenden Analyse des Materials weitere Deutungsmöglichkeiten aufgezeigt und diskutiert werden.
