Description
The hoard, still unpublished, was found in 2011 in the waters off Cala Tramontana, along the eastern coast of the island of Pantelleria. It consists of over 3000 Punic bronze coins belonging to the IA series in the Forteleoni classification (1961) with a female head / equine protome (300-264 BC). This contribution will present some reflections on the structure of this assemblage and some observations about its archaeological context and information offered by historical sources, in order to advance interpretative hypotheses regarding the nature of the hoard and the causes of its non-recovery.
