Hoard of Roman silver coins and jewellery from the village of Dvorska near Krupanj (western Serbia)

Abstract

The hoard of Roman coins and jewellery from Dvorska near Krupanj contains 106 denarii, 366 antoniniani, eight pieces of silver jewellery and one silver chain with heart-shaped pendants. It was discovered in 1950 at the earliest, under unknown circumstances, and was purchased for the National Museum in several instances so we cannot exclude the possibility of the find being a partly scattered one. The monetary part of the find covers the period from Septimius Severus (195 AD) to the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus (254 AD). It belongs to a well-known horizon of hoards, which were registered in north-eastern Dalmatia, both the Pannonias and in Upper Moesia.
