In this presentation we will try to bring methodological reflections for a better understanding of the possible relationships between the spaces of Tel Dor and the spheres of urbanization of the site, based on the contexts of finding coins from the archaeological excavations that have taken place there since the 1980s.

By mapping these finding locations (forum, residential area, industrial area, public structures), we will seek to find some kind of connection between these areas where the coins were located and the possible dynamics of communication with the temple areas. The presence of deities such as Tyche and Doros on the coins produced in Dor will also be part of our reflections. We want to investigate the extent to which coins depicting certain deities are found more in one place than another, and what this might mean. Dor is a small port city, its temples are immediately next to the sea, and all these areas are connected in some way.

We understand that the study of coins in an archaeological context has been developing more and more, and it is from this perspective that we intend to embark on this presentation. Seeking to understand the urbanism and socio-religious interactions (local, regional, and inter-regional) of the Roman period, we intend to plot the coins in the spaces of the Roman city of Dor in which they were located, in order to better understand the spaces and daily life of the city.
