Sharing and Showing - From Vienna into the Digital World
As part of the project ‘Sharing and Showing - From Vienna into the Digital World’, which is funded in cooperation between the BMKÖS and the KHM-Museumsverband, Kathrin Siegl has been working on a further 5,000 coins from the extensive Nowak Collection since the beginning of December 2024.
Since 3 February 2025, Vanessa Zumtobel has also been supporting the project. The focus is on continuing the inventory, documentation and scientific recording of the mainly Roman coins found in Austria, all of which can be precisely located.
Initial results have already been recorded in a digital database, including numerous artefacts from Wagna/Flavia Solva, Lower Austria and Northern and Central Burgenland.
In the next few weeks, the processing of all the coins from Flavia Solva in the Nowak Collection will be completed. The next focus will be on the finds from Burgenland, among which the very extensive numismatic finds from the area of the Roman military camp and the vicus in Strebersdorf should be emphasised.
Last but not least, the publicly accessible results of the project via the IKMK will be incorporated into a complete overview of the coins found in Austria and can thus provide insights into the monetary history of the Roman period in eastern Austria!
