HOARD OF ROMAN SILVER COINS FROM THE ROMAN FORUM IN STOBI

Sanja Bitrak, Pero Josifovski

Abstract


The Roman silver coins found at the Roman Forum in Stobi (Municipium Stobensium) contained 306 specimens (50 denarii, 255 antoniniani and 1 sestertius). Along with the coins, jewelry was also found (two male rings, a pair of gold earrings and a gold children's earring). The jewelry found along with the collective find of Roman coins, probably represented some kind of “family” savings. According to the content of the hoard, there are 29 emperors or members of their families, from Antoninus Pius to Gallienus. The largest number of money was issued in the period between 238 and 257/258 with a share of 84.7%. The only specimen in Emperor Gallienus's 257/258 empire (from Valerian's joint rule) is an indication of the time of burial.
