Coins and medals Mezanine floor




The Museum's rich collection of coins and medals, based on the famous Farnese collection originally held in Parma and subsequently brought to Capodimonte, comprises some two hundred thousand items, purchased from various private collections and discovered during excavations of sites throughout Campania and southern Italy.
The six rooms present a selection which illustrates both the development of numismatic studies and collecting and the history of ancient coinage from Ancient Greece to Late Imperial Rome, with its wide-ranging historical and economic implications. A separate part features the coins and medals dating from medieval times up to the end of the Bourbon era.
