Résumé En Ro

During the systematic archaeological investigations taking place in the southern side of Histria in 2011– 2012, several dozens of ancient coins were discovered in the main trenches located between the “Southern Sector” and the “Basilica extra muros Sector”. Among the 37 identified ones, six were Greek coins issued before the Roman rule at Histria, 27 were Greek and Roman coins from the age of the Principate, three coins were dated to the Late Roman Empire and a single one to the Early Byzantine period. Most coins were found among the remains of a large building, constructed perhaps at the beginning of the 3rd century AD, and which was affected by the events of the “ Scythian war”, being definitively destroyed by fire during the first two decades of the 4th century AD, as indicated by the monetary pieces captured under its ruins, the latest one from the end of the Tetrarchy. Several provincial and imperial coins bear traces of burning, melted metal depositions, sometimes portions of their surface being heavily melted. From another context comes the most recent coin, dating to Justinian I, found in the zone of the cobblestone platforms from the southern extremity of the site, presumably related to the harbor development during the 6th century AD.

Rezumat : În cursul cercetărilor sistematice desfăşurate în sudul staţiunii arheologice Histria în perioada 2011– 2012 au rezultat câteva zeci de monede antice, descoperite în secţiunile magistrale efectuate între sectoarele Sud şi Basilica extra muros. Dintre cele 37 de monede identificate, şase sunt emisiuni greceşti din perioada anterioară stăpânirii romane la Histria, 27 de monede greceşti şi romane din epoca Principatului, trei din Imperiul târziu şi o piesă din perioada protobizantină. Cele mai multe piese monetare provin din zona de identificare a rămăşiţelor unui mare edificiu ridicat probabil la începutul secolului III, afectat de evenimentele „ războiului scitic” şi probabil distrus definitiv de un incendiu în cursul primelor două decenii ale secolului IV, aşa cum indică monedele surprinse sub dărâmăturile sale, cea mai târzie datând de la sfârşitul Tetrarhiei. Mai multe monede provinciale şi imperiale poartă urme de ardere, porţiuni topite sau depuneri de metal topit. De un alt context se leagă o monedă de la Iustinian I, găsită în zona platformelor de piatră din extremitatea sudică a sitului, bănuite a aparţine unei amenajări portuare din secolul VI.
