Abstract

This essay provides for the first time data on the discovery of a coin hoard found in Cerda (Palermo, Sicily) in 1869 at a railway construction site. The main aims of the paper are to contextualize this event in terms of the history of post-Unification Sicilian archaeology and to offer new information on contemporary bureaucratic procedures, as carried out by the Italian State and by local authorities in the case of casual discoveries. This historical reconstruction makes use of a targeted set of archival records from the Central State Archive of Rome, which are fully transcribed in Appendix A.
