In 1906 Augusto Angelini discovered near Carsoli a large quantity of votive materials during agricultural works. The Italian State acquired them and they can be considered the first unpublished nucleus of the so called Stipe di Carsoli, widely investigated by Cederna in the early fifties of the last century. The materials found out at the beginning of the 20th century are at the moment in Museo Archeologico Nazionale at Chieti and they have been mixed up with the ones discovered by Cederna. This research aims to re-examine the group of materials found in 1906, both the votive materials and the coins, in order to point out the differences with the one published in 1951 in Notizie degli Scavi di Antichità and to reach a wider knowledge of the composition of the votive context of Carsoli. Particularly interesting is the possibility, thanks to the inventory of the Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia, to strongly reaffirm that the 180 coins, acquired by Italian State in 1908, have no direct connection with the discovery of the materials in 1906 by Augusto Angelini and that consequently they cannot be considered as a part of the votive context.
