Sažetak
During the excavations, carried out in Salona in 1979, a hoard of Byzantine bronze coins was discovered (51 specimens) in the eastern part of the city (cfr. the paper by F.Oreb). The oldest coin from the hoard belongs to Justinian I and the most recent to Heraclius and his son Heraclius Constantine. According to the generally accepted opinion, the Salonitan town area was never inhabited after its destruction. Since in the above mentioned hoard the most recent coin was struck under Heraclius in 630/631, and since it was found in the city area, the life must have continued there also after the year 614, established by Bulić as the year of the destruction of the town. The author has reviewed all the earlier hypotheses concerning the destruction and abandonment of Salona. Analyzing also other Heraclius’ coins from Salona, struck after 614 and comparing them with the above mentioned most recent coin from the hoard, the author comes to the conclusion that the town was destroyed after 630/31, but before the mission of Abbott Martin to this resion, i.e. between 631 and 639.
