A Second Investigation into the Chemical Composition of the Roman Provincial (Procuratorial) Coinage of Judaea, AD 6-66* [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
An investigation of the chemical composition of the first Roman provincial coinage of Judaea, minted in AD 6–66, was conducted. A total of 103 copper-alloy coins were analysed by ICPAES. It was determined that different copper alloys were used for the coinage, a leaded tin-bronze and a pure tin-bronze alloy. The investigation also showed that the copper alloy was made in four different formulae with regard to the alloying elements added to copper. Trace element profiles point to the existence of a shared pool of metal for Roman coins and metalwork.
