Клад херсонесских тетрассариев с датами из курганного могильника Дездар-дере 2 (Севастополь)
Α Hoard of Chersonesian Tetrassarii with Dates from Dezdar-dere 2 Necropolis (Sevastopol)

Summary/Abstract: In 2020, a hoard of 14 Chersonesian tetrassarii with dates was discovered during the archaeological excavations at Dezdar-dere 2 Necropolis located on the territory of Sevastopol. The assemblage contains coins bearing the years 94, 96 and 120 of the Chersonesian era. All tetrassarii bear a round countermark depicting the Virgin holding a bow and a spear. The hoard was most likely concealed at the very beginning of Hadrian’s reign. Since only a few dozen single Chersonesian tetrassarii of the Flavian time have survived, as well as a small number of hoards is known, containing them, this circumstance emphasizes the special importance of finding a new homogeneous assemblage of dated coins of Tauric Chersonesos.
