RESEARCH RECORD
Robert Kool’s study of 2,019 Roman coins from Qula, with guidance on reading a hoard and distinguishing the article from its catalogue.
This record provides bibliographic details and independent reading notes. The full study was written by the authors listed in the publication details; the link leads to its source.
Figures on this card and their status
The figure appears in the article's official abstract on the publications site; the full paper and the catalogue supplement were not read.
The abstract itself uses two wordings, "early 290s" and "late 290s"; the site does not choose between them without reading the full paper.
The Qula hoard was found in a farmhouse in the hinterland of Roman Lydda. Its 2,019 third-century coins support discussion of deposition and changes in monetary circulation. 1.
The official abstract gives 2,019 coins and describes the deposition both as "the early 290s CE" and as "the late 290s CE"; that internal contradiction is marked on this card as a disputed figure and is not resolved here. 1.
A catalogue lets readers check which coins were included, how they were identified and how groups were compared. Distinguish a coin’s issue date, a hoard’s deposition date and the explanation for concealment: these are different questions, and the last may remain open.
The publication details and source links here refer to the main article, A Hoard of Antoniniani from Qula. The coin catalogue is a separate supplementary file; this record is not its reproduction. The coins-and-hoards guide adds tools for reading a hoard’s composition.

RESEARCH & METHOD
Why a minting date differs from a burial date, and why a hoard is not a simple snapshot of money in circulation. Museum examples and the Qula case explain the distinction.
