Abstract: For the lack of texts on the subject, studies in monetary history necessarily rely on numismatics. However, when it comes to grasping the temporal dimension of monetary phenomena, traditional numismatic methods appear lacking. Drawing mainly on data from Roma Gaul, this paper identifies a way to bypass the problem. It consists in using stratified data, which archaeological context is precisely recorded. By taking into account extrinsic elements of dating, along with the intrinsic dating of the coins themselves, we can at the same time avoid circular reasonings and have a finer view on the chronology of the phenomena under study.
