The research project is aimed at gaining deeper insight into the ancient economic history in the field of metal production and distribution. Object of investigation is the soft metal lead in the form of ingots as direct mining products. In the Roman period lead was a widely traded commodity. Produced on a large scale in mining areas of different provinces it was supplied as solid ingots to all provinces of the Roman Empire. Despite its importance, in classical studies and archaeometallurgy lead has been hitherto rather neglected. The project is intended to fill this gap and develop new insights into Roman mining operations, structures of metal extraction, the distribution of lead, the organization of the metal trade. For this the comprehensive compilation of all Roman lead ingots is of fundamental importance combining epigraphic, archaeological and metallurgical studies.

该研究项目旨在更深入地了解金属生产和分配领域的古代经济史。调查的对象是软金属铅锭的形式作为直接开采产品。在罗马时期，铅是一种广泛交易的商品。它在不同省份的矿区大规模生产，作为固体锭供应给罗马帝国的所有省份。尽管它的重要性，在古典研究和考古计量学铅迄今一直被忽视。该项目旨在填补这一空白，并对罗马采矿作业，金属提取结构，铅的分布，金属贸易组织提出新的见解。为此，全面汇编所有罗马铅锭是至关重要的结合金石，考古和冶金研究。
