RESEARCH DESCRIPTION
The reconstruction of deteriorated ancient coins is a fascinating and meticulous process aimed at restoring and returning the former grandeur to coins that have suffered damage and wear over time. Using advanced techniques for cleaning, consolidation, and restoration, experts work to remove dirt, oxidation, and surface damage without compromising the authenticity of the object. The reconstruction may involve filling gaps and repairing missing parts with compatible materials, strictly adhering to ethical principles and restoration guidelines. The use of machine learning algorithms accelerates the process of identification, cataloguing, and dating, enabling the establishment of connections between different coins. This numismatic research project will allow the preservation and dissemination of the cultural and historical heritage represented by the coins, making the study of these valuable objects more accessible and engaging.
