The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of the India trade on the monetary circulation of central Italy and to highlight an aspect of the evolution of the Roman monetary mass during the crucial decades of the Julio–Claudian dynasty. The argument made here is that some peculiar features revealed by the Vesuvian numismatic evidence were a consequence of the export of coins connected to the India trade, and that the distribution of Roman coins found in India reflects the expansion of gold coinage in the Roman monetary system, especially from Tiberius on.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of the India trade on the monetary circulation of central Italy and to highlight an aspect of the evolution of the Roman monetary mass during the crucial decades of the Julio–Claudian dynasty. The argument made here is that some peculiar features revealed by the Vesuvian numismatic evidence were a consequence of the export of coins connected to the India trade, and that the distribution of Roman coins found in India reflects the expansion of gold coinage in the Roman monetary system, especially from Tiberius on.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
