Networking among the elite of European Barbaricum – Gold imitations of Roman coins as evidence for long distance connections.
While Roman-Germanic interactions have long been an important theme in European archaeology, the closely knit ties between the peoples living outside the Limes are less well explored. This project focus on imitations of Roman coins made in Barbaricum, and explores how the distribution of these high status objects can shed light on the inter-Germanic connections from the Black Sea to Southern Scandinavia.

The project was running from 2009 until 2011
