THE 1875 ZEMUN HOARD OF THE 1ST C. A.D. GOLD COINS (REVISION) SUMMARY On December 16, 1875, at sunset, Mihalj Ivković, a day labourer, digging on land owned by Marija Savić for an ice hole in the courtyard of the inn « ; Seven Stars» ; in Zemun (Taurunum), came upon a clay pot full of Roman imperial coins. The first report mentioned some 250 aurei, but only 230 were received by the authorities. Both the commander of the Croatian-Slavonian Military Frontier, artillery general Baron Anton Mollinary de Monte Pastello and the Croatian Ban (viceroy) Ivan Mažuranić decided to compensate the owner of the plot, Marija Savić, for the hoard with a sum of 1100 Austrian gold florins. The hoard was brought to Zagreb and was for several years deposited at the Royal Exchequer. There it was thoroughly studied and published on several occasions by Šime Ljubić, director of the National Museum, who used the first edition of Cohen's standard work - in later publications he had at his disposal the second edition. In 1877 Ljubić set up a list of 143 aurei, which he considered as duplicates – the remainder is still in the Zagreb Cabinet - and offered them for sale. The prices were taken from Cohen's catalogue, totalling 11.735 francs, i.e. 586, 75 Napoleon'dors of 20 francs. A letter by Ljubić shows that the museums in Berlin, Budapest, Munich and Paris were interested in acquiring some of the specimens. However, there are no gold coins from the Zemun hoard either at the Vienna or the Budapest cabinet. It seems that two great numismatists-collectors, with whom Ljubić corresponded, Prince Ernst Windischgrätz and Franz Trau bought some of the material. Among the 230 specimens there were aurei of the following emperors and empresses: Nero (41-54) (6 specimens - 2.61%) ; Vespasianus (69-79) (8 specimens - 3.48%) ; Titus (79-81) (10 specimens - 4.35%) ; Julia Titi (70-91) (5 specimens - 2.17%) ; Domitianus (81-96), (182 specimens - 79.13%) ; Domitia (before 57-140), (10 specimens - 4.35%) ; Nerva (96-98) (3 specimens - 1.30%) ; and Trajanus (98-117) (6 specimens - 2.61%). All the coins were in a perfect state of conservation, except for the somewhat older specimens of Nero. The terminus post quem for the hoard is the year 98-99 A.D. The burial date was considered as falling between 99 and 101 AD by Ljubić, who connected it with the start of the Dacian wars by emperor Trajan. The Zemun hoard has been studied and mentioned by several numismatists, for instance H. Mattingly, A. Jeločnik and others. More recently it was I. Carradice, whose analysis of Domitian's gold coinage was chiefly based on the Zemun material. This treasure has been on public display twice: in Arezzo in 1991 and in Turin in 1993. Several specimens can also be seen at the permanent numismatic exhibition of the Zagreb Archaeological Museum.
