Monetary Find from Paraćin. The Problem of Dating Scattered Coin Hoards
Abstract
The scattered coin hoard from Paraćin consists of ten denarii and one antoninianus, ranging from Marcus Aurelius to Gordian III. According to the information recorded in literature, it was found in a ceramic vessel, which indicates that it was part of a much larger hoard, the original contents and the size of which are unknown to us. The preserved number and the contents do not allow the possibility for the usual statistical analyses, nor a more precise dating of its depositing. Despite its significantly impaired integrity and it belonging to the category of insufficiently reliable historical sources, it nevertheless testifies to the existence of one more coin hoard in central Pomoravlje. A correlation with other well-documented hoards from this area, which were located on the main communication road in Roman times, and the closer and the wider surroundings of the Horreum Margi, almost all of which were stored around the middle of the 3rd century, allows, with all restrictions, the con...ditional assumption that the hoard from Paraćin could have been buried during the same period.
