A series of ancient coins, coming from the archaeological excavation of Palazzo Valentini (Rome), were analysed using different analytical techniques; grounds, both surrounding the coins and far from them, were also analysed in order to find a correlation between the corrosion products covering the coins and the grounds chemical-physical characteristics. Soluble salts content in samples coming from the water-bearing stratum, surfacing in the archaeological site, was also determined.

Abstract
A series of ancient coins, coming from the archaeological excavation of Palazzo Valentini (Rome), were analysed using different analytical techniques; grounds, both surrounding the coins and far from them, were also analysed in order to find a correlation between the corrosion products covering the coins and the grounds chemical-physical characteristics. Soluble salts content in samples coming from the water-bearing stratum, surfacing in the archaeological site, was also determined. Data were treated by cluster and multivariate analysis that confirmed the above said correlationI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
