Roman coin hoards deposited during the reign of Philip I from the territory of present-day Serbia [apstrakt]

Abstract

The six coin hoards deposited during the reign of Philip I originate from the territory of presentday Serbia. The 247 AD horizon belongs the Mezul II (Dobri Do II) hoard, while the tpq. of the burial of the Kremenica, Kalemegdan and Sikirica I hoards is linked to the year 248/249 AD. The depositing of the Podrimce hoard could have alredy taken place in the first half of the reign of Philip I (244-245 AD), although one cannot exclude the possibility of it being at a later date. The find from Niška Kamenica does not provide an answer for reliable dating, although 247 AD could be accepted provisionally, on the basis of the part of the hoard in the National Museum in Belgrade.
