Sažetak
Preliminary analysis of coin finds from the area of the Roman legionary fortress at Tilurium (today the village of Gardun, near Trilj) is presented in this paper. The scholarly analysis encompasses the finds yielded by systematic archaeological excavations, as well as finds today stored in the Museum of the Cetina Region, in Sinj. Most of the coin finds date to a period from the first half of the 1st century AD, with a noticeable reduction in coin supply starting in the second half of the 1st century and continuing during the 2nd century. The period of the 3rd century, and the period of late antiquity, in the 4th and 5th centuries, again shows some increase, but the quantity of coin finds in these centuries is smaller than the amount pertaining to the period of the Principate. The dating of numismatic finds therefore largely overlaps with the dating of Tilurium as a Roman legionary fortress and then a fort used by auxiliary contingents.
