The display of coins aims to illustrate to the general public the history of coinage and its use by the populations living on the Italian peninsula, ever since it first appeared in the 4th-3rd century bc and up to recent times.
The range of images acts as a backdrop to the unfolding history, with all the political, historic and artistic implications this involves.
