本研究介绍了公元前5 - 3世纪希腊殖民地锡拉丘兹、Metapontum、Taras和Thurium的钴的成分和铅同位素分析结果。这些数据表明，大格拉古的每个殖民地，无论其祖国的根源如何，尽管城市之间的冲突不断，都可以获得相同的银，而且在铸造和发行硬币的整个时期，这种供应总体上是稳定的。本文追溯了殖民地的银来源，并指出了金属的潜在供应途径。它包括银的激光烧蚀-电感耦合质谱（LA-ICP-MS）分析的多标准定量方法的方法开发。
This study presents the results of compositional and lead isotopic analysis of coinage issued by the Greek colonies of Syracuse, Metapontum, Taras and Thurium in the fifth to third centuries bce. The data suggest that each colony in Magna Graecia, regardless of its motherland roots and despite ongoing conflicts between the cities, had access to the same silver, and that this supply was stable overall throughout their period of minting and issuing coinage. The paper retraces the silver sources of the colonies and points out a potential supply route for the metal. It includes a method development for a multi-standard quantification approach for laser ablation-inductively coupled-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analysis of silver.
