New Finds of Roman Coins from the Przeworsk Culture Settlements in the Nidzica and Szreniawa River Basins / Nowe znaleziska monet rzymskich na osadach kultury przeworskiej w dorzeczu Nidzicy i Szreniawy

Abstract

The article presents new discoveries of Roman coins made during regular surface surveys on Przeworsk culture settlements located in the northern part of the loess highlands of the Western Lesser Poland region. A total of ten Roman coins were found in five sites, most of them issued during the Antonine dynasty. In almost all cases, they were accompanied by artefacts illustrating the variety of settlement contexts related to monetary finds. The majority of such finds constitute accurate date stamps showing the chronology of the settlement development, which may be an additional argument in the discussion on the influx of Roman coins into the Central European Barbaricum.
