The article analyzes the figure of triskeles - present on countless numismatic documents - according to the LIN's scientific method, Lexicon Iconographicum Numismaticae, and with the support of the DIANA cloud portal, Digital Iconographic Atlas of Numismatics in Antiquity (http://ww2.unime.it/diana/). The two projects put a great deal of attention on the examination of monetary iconographies. This type of scientific investigation is based on the diatopic and the diachronic analysis of iconic subjects. It also gives special attention to the history and localization of tick bills, through digital maps processing, interfacing the GIS tool.
