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