This paper
focuses on coin hoard found in a ceramic vessel during rescue archeological
excavations in Chukovezer village, Dragoman municipality,
The earliest
coins (2 coins) belong to emperors Galerius Maximianus
and Maximinus II Daia.
The most numerous coins (13 coins) are those struck under Constantine the
Great. The next small group of coins (8 folles)
belong to emperor Licinius I. The event that
provoked the concealment of the hoard was the First Civil War between Licinius I and Constantine I that began in 316, and the battle at Campus Mardiensis
(Harmanli) in particular, taking place probably in
the late 316 — early 317. The
further issue discussed in the paper is comparative analysis with coin hoards
found in the region of the Southwestern Bulgaria with roman coins of the same
period. |
Key words: numismatics, coins, coin hoard,
Roman coins. |
