Abstrakt

The article is devoted to the study of the latest research methods of archaeological coin finds from the era of Ancient Rome. The paper reviews the online databases of large-scale projects that were created over the past few years with the assistance of the American Numismatic Association and are devoted to the study of coins and coin-hoards of the Roman Empire.

The main goal of the research was to create a general overview and description of the information content of open databases, which can allow a digital analysis of Roman numismatics. The conducted review helps to determine the prospects for the use of digital tools in numismatic research and contributes to the deepening of knowledge about the cultural heritage of the Roman Empire.

A content analysis of information resources was carried out, aimed at an objective description of the textual, graphic and multimedia content of the material that contains the resource using the same methods and approaches that are similar to the analysis of textual and graphic materials.
