Description

The ARCH project - Ancient Coinage as Related Cultural Heritage - uses Linked Open Data technology to establish, for the first time, an overarching platform for the study, curation, archiving and preservation of the monetary heritage of the ancient world. It is available through a portal where all the types known from the Greek world, from the 7th to the 1st century BC, are made available in a hierarchy based on previous bibliography and links to other portals such as MIB, Hellenistic Royal Coinage and Corpus Nummorum Online. This paper aims at explaining how the typology underlying the ARCH project is built and how it can grow and be exploited for iconographical study.
