Sažetak
The paper discusses the coin hoards of Constantinian period from the west Balkans area. The focus will be on the hoard from Trijebanj, found in 1936 at the site of Crkvine near Trijebanj (Stolac county, Bosnia and Herzegovina), of 11072 pieces, and the hoard from Bjelovar in Croatia, found in 2006, of 3959 pieces in total. These two hoards are very similar, with a major part of both consisting of bronzes issued from 308 to 313, the period of intensive dynastic conflicts among Diocletian’s and Galerius’ successors. Numismatic analysis offers the possibility to study these hoards alongside other coin hoards of Constantinian period found in the west Balkans region – and beyond – comparable to them, more precisely, 15 hoards found in the present-day Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece. However, none of these is a close match to the two hoards discussed above. Most of these hoards are either unpublished or lost, which makes the analysis of the two hoards an important contribution to our understanding of coin circulation and distribution in the Roman Imperial period. A specific nature of the hoards from Trijebanj and Bjelovar, representing rare specimens of hoards of this type of which we have some insight, was also proved.
