Summary/Abstract: In the Vâlcea County Museum’s numismatic collection we succeeded to identify 19 roman imperial coins found after the archaeological researches from Buridava (Ocniţa, Vâlcea County). From the issuer repartition point of view we have the following situation: Augustus 8, Tiberius 1, Caius 2, Claudius 1, Vespasianus 3, Titus 1 and undetermined 3. The important presence of the coins minted in time of Augustus is determined by the large number of issues putted by him on the market in his long reign period and by the development of the economic prosperity of Buridava at the beginning of the I century B.C. The Buridava’s economic development reach his peak at the end of the I century B.C. as the coins from the Flavian dynasty discovered here indicate, coins that close the roman imperial series.
