Abstract
We report the results of a high quality spectral study of early-type galaxi es within the Coma Cluster core. Stellar population analysis using Lick/IDS indices to break the age/metallicity degeneracy are presented, probing the ir formation history and properties. A clear metallicity trend and a domina nt single age population are found.
