Dear Peter,
May I suggest you to refer to the book C. Morrisson, et. al., "L'or
monnayé I : Purification et altérations de Rome à Byzance", Cahiers
Ernest-Babelon n° 2, Editions du CNRS, Paris, 1985 ? You will find in
particular elemental analysis of Roman and Byzantium gold coins with
scientific comments. The performed method is Proton Activation, a
non-destructive method that goes deeper in the gold that XRF and enables
to determine the
contents of Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Pt, etc.
Best Regards,
Maryse Blet-Lemarquand
