Un nuevo conjunto de monedas emirales del centro peninsular: los dírhams del yacimiento arqueológico de El Rebollar (El Boalo, Madrid)

Abstract

A small set of five dirhams from the Emirate period is presented, located inside the late rural church of El Rebollar (El Boalo, Madrid). This ecclesiastical building can be dated from the grave goods of the tombs and from the C14 analysis applied to the bone samples from the individuals buried between the second half of the VII^th century and the beginning of the viii^th century. The coins have a closing date that refers to the period of government of al-?akam I (180-206 H./AD 796-822). The study of this numismatic set in its context, the reading without difficulty of the legends which allow us to deduce variations in the coins and the analysis of their composition, which we present in this study, provide data which contribute to a better understanding of the production and circulation of emerald money in the central area of the Iberian Peninsula.
