А Hoard of Roman Silver Coins from the Village of Mehovine near Šabac
Abstract
The hoard of silver coins from the village of Mehovine near Šabac, according
to data available from earlier literature and the factual state, contains 489 (150) specimens,
ranging from Nero to Maximinus I, and represents part of a larger, scattered
find. The terminus post quem of the hoard’s burial can be seen from the denarii dated to
the period from January 236 A.D. to the start or the first quarter of 238 A.D., although
one should not overlook the fact that the find was scattered. It was discovered in the
context of a villa rustica, suggesting that it belonged to the owner of the property. The
reasons for its burial, given the broad approximation of the date to within the brief
rule of Maximinus I, could be dual – internal fiscal policy and the violence of soldiers
and of the local administration, or Maximinus’ preparations for a campaign on Rome
in early 238 A.D., bearing in mind that the emperor had his base in those years in the
immediate vicinity of Mehovine, in Sirmi...um.
