A.late antiquityLugdunumNumismaticsNummiXRFThe data that support the findings of this study are openly available in idUS at https://idus.us.es.There is no doubt that coins are of great interest to historical research, as they provide a wealth of information about the period in which they were minted. The Roman Tetrarchy (AD 294-324) was one of the most turbulent periods in Roman history. It was characterized by power struggles between different rulers, which were reflected in the reduction of the weight and fineness of the coins. The Tomares hoard, discovered in this Sevillian town in 2016, is one of the largest hoards from this period. This paper focuses on the analysis of the metallic composition of coins from Lugdunum (current Lyon), a mint of fundamental importance in the monetary history of the Roman Empire and one of the most important of the Tetrarchy. Out of a total of 2291 coins analysed since the beginning of the study of this hoard, non-destructive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis has been carried out on a selection of 227 coins from this mint of Lyon. The chronology of these ranges from AD 294 to 309, a period relatively unexplored from an archaeometric point of view. The results obtained, in conjunction with the numismatic studies, provide valuable information on the historical context, the alloy used, and, more generally, the behavior of this mint, helping, among other things, to establish the chronological seriation of its issues. This work highlights the importance of the Tomares hoard as a valuable source to characterize the Roman economy in the 4th century AD.This study was supported by the project “Moneda y economía en la bética tardorromana: Estudio científico del Tesoro de Tomares (II)” (PID2022-139617NB-I00) from the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (Plan Estatal 2017-2020 de Generación del Conocimiento–Proyectos I+D+i.).
