<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 8277275, member: 75482&quot;]Given their limited production and a lack of interest among some, I think I might be more surprised to find a published tessera than an unpublished one. That said, I would not limit my search to numismatic sources. As noted above, they are not coins but coin-like objects. I can see them being included with seals, weights and similar categories.</p><p><br /></p><p>On Twitter, I follow an account named token_communities (@ancient_tokens). Token Communities is a project of the University of Warwick in the UK, headed by Dr. Clare Rowan. Her contact info can be found at the project&#039;s website, linked below.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the project&#039;s website, &quot;The Token Communities project will provide the first extensive, multi-regional analysis of tokens or ‘monetiform’ objects in the ancient Mediterranean. We will examine the active roles of these objects in constituting numerous aspects of social life, as well as their importance to economic, political, social and cultural history. The project will focus on the Hellenistic world (c. 323-30 BC), and the Roman world prior to late antiquity (first century BC - AD 284).&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/classics/research/dept_projects/tcam/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/classics/research/dept_projects/tcam/" rel="nofollow">https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/classics/research/dept_projects/tcam/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>These folks may be able to point you in the right direction. If nothing else, I imagine they would be thrilled to see your tessera.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
