Roman Coins in Etruscan Tombs – for later follow up

So this came up in my search results for other things and footnote 37 caught my eye.

Torelli, Mario. Studies in the Romanization of Italy. University of Alberta, 1995. [Why I don’t own this I don’t know. I’ve now ordered but will take some weeks to arrive.]

Crawford, Michael. “Coins from a Cemetery at Malignano.” American Journal of Archaeology 72, no. 3 (1968): 281-283. (jstor)

Crawford is correct to emphasize that the Teanum coin is important as is the semi-libral. What I really want is images and associated finds to better understand context AND maybe think again about dating of these series and the use of coins in burials.

Some of this has been done by this v recent v important article that take Crawford’s work as a starting point, but I’ve put in a request to the library for help getting a scan of the original excavation reports. Fingers crossed more to say after that.
