Sažetak
Several coin hoards terminating with the denarii of C.L. Caesares found in SE Europe are analysed in this paper, utilizing the new dating of this type of coinage, differing from that offered in the standard reference for this coinage (Ric). All the hoards were studied anew for the requirements of this paper and are here published with reference to modern numismatic literature. The concealment of the hoards has been regularly associated with either Augustus’ Balkan campaigns or the great Illyrian-Pannonian uprising of AD 6-9, but in both cases they were interred during the early Imperial period. Yet their nature reflects the earlier, pre-Augustan and Early Augustan circulation, rather than the new Roman order of the 1st c. AD. It is argued that the hoards only indicate the penetration of Republican coins to Illyricum as a result of Augustus’ campaigns, rather than being an indicator of either of these military operations in the area.
