Abstract

This article presents the coins found during Polish-Italian excavations carried out at ancient Akrai, Sicily, in October 2011 and September and October 2012. The full catalogue of coins was published in Annali Instituto Italiano di Numismatica 59, 2014. The numismatic finds have extended our knowledge about Greek Akrai and Roman Acrae, seeing that so far only few, and the same type, coins were known from this archaeological site. The fieldwork brought also a large number of other artifacts such as oil lamps, pottery, and metal objects
