The prototype online portal for Celtic coinage is now online: https://occ.dainst.org/.
Online Celtic Coinage (OCC) follows the paradigm of linked open data of portals such as Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE), and employs the Cultural Heritage Management System Dédalo that powers the prize-winning portal Moneda Iberica.

A big Thank You! to the PROCOPEplus programme of the Ambassade de France en Allemagne and the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst for funding our workshop in Orléans on 30/31 January 2025.
Building on the results of the ClaReNet project, from 1st January 2025 a new research project called ‘De retibus nummorum’ will investigate the emergence and development of the Celtic monetary economy from the 3rd to 1st century BC. Type and die studies, supported by methods of artificial intelligence such as deep learning, and feature detection algorithms will be incorporated into a social network analysis.

The coodinators are S. Nieto-Pelletier (IRAMAT, UMR 7065 CNRS-univ. Orléans), K. Tolle (Goethe University Frankfurt, Big Data Lab) and D. Wigg-Wolf (German Archaeological Institute).
The event follows a preliminary online meeting in October 2024, and will be held at the Centre International Universitaire pour la Recherche (Hôtel Dupanloup).
Continue reading “Meeting of the Iron Age Working Group to be funded by PROCOPEplus”On June 21, 2021, the ClaReNet project organised a virtual workshop to discuss the particular challenges of modeling data on Celtic coins and to lay the first foundations for a common reference model for a virtual union catalogue “Online Celtic Coinage”. In addition to the project members, fifteen colleagues from Germany, France, Great Britain, Switzerland and the USA took part.

The School of Archaeology, University of Oxford, is pleased to announce the launch of the website: Celtic Coin Index Digital (CCID). The CCID is an online archive that provides access to one of the world’s largest datasets of Iron Age coins in Britain: the Celtic Coin Index (CCI). The CCI has been housed in the Institute of Archaeology at Oxford since 1964. The paper card index now holds nearly 85,000 records of around 68,000 specimens of Iron Age coins – these cards and their related images and data are now available on the CCID website.

Ancient British Coins (ABC) is the most comprehensive reference book for the typology of the Iron Age coins of Britain. ABC catalogues 999 types of coins found in Britain from around the early to mid-2nd century BC through the 1st century AD. The earliest issues were imported to Britain from the Continent, but they were shortly thereafter minted locally, remaining in circulation even after Roman occupation.
Iron Age Coins in Britain (IACB) is now available as a digital research tool that provides access to an edited ABC online. IACB is made possible by stable numismatic identifiers and linked open data methodologies established by the Nomisma.org project. IACB is built on the numbering system created by the Ancient British Coins (ABC) series published in 2010, however, some aspects of this typology have been changed (e.g. descriptions, spellings).
