On the Search for Damnatio Memoriae on Ancient Roman Numismatic Artefacts. Research Assumptions / O poszukiwaniach damnatio memoriae na starożytnych rzymskich numizmatach. Postulaty badawcze

Abstract

The article concerns the possibilities and limitations of including numismatic sources in studies of the phenomenon of the condemnation of memory (damnatio memoriae) in ancient Rome. The presented findings show the need for extended analyses that would consider all of the Roman coinage and use statistical modelling, quantitative approaches, and the findings’ archaeological context.
