The CoinFindsViewer project, directed by Stefan Krmnicek, Faculty of Humanities, Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, represents the first large-scale visualization of Roman coin find data in southern Germany. It enables users to interactively explore the dataset along the Roman frontier, the Limes, and its hinterland across various historical periods. CoinFindsViewer emerged from a collaboration between the Master’s specialization in Digital Humanities and Project B02 of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1391.

The dataset of CoinFindsViewer comprises 81,316 Roman coins from the Corpus of Roman Coin Finds in Germany (FMRD), which have been digitized and processed according to the latest scholarly standards. Simon Holzner developed a geoinformatics-based web application into which he integrated the coin data, laying the conceptual foundation for the current visualizations.
