The Roman coins from the treasure discovered near the Shilovo village of Ryazan Region and preserved in the
local museum were studied. All of them are denarii of the first and second
centuries. We believe that these coins came to the region due to trade
relations with the Chernyakhov population. We assume that it was the most
important counterpart in the domain of cultural and political life, localized
from the Don and the Dnieper to the Black Sea
and the Danube Region and, then, to Roman provinces. Remarkably, these coins
at the moment of their concealment were not means of payment, as one can see,
because the treasure contains suberate, broken, and punched coins. We believe
that they served as raw material for jewelry, including those destined for the
upper classes.
