Находка от централни бронзови монети от с. Гиген, Плевенско
A hoard of roman bronze coins from the village of Gigen, Pleven region

Summary/Abstract: A part of a hoard is kept in the fund of the Regional museum of history-Pleven. It consist of the following coins: Tiberius 1 as, Trajan 1 dupondius, Hadrian 2 asses, 2 dupondii and 1 sestertius, Antoninus Pius 1 as and 1 dupondius, Faustina the Elder 1 as and 1 dupondius, Marcus Aurelius 1 as and Faustina the Younger 1 as (see catalogue and Plate 1-2). Terminus post quem of the preserved part of the hoard is 155-156 AD. Until now, on the territory of the province of Lower Moesia and Thrace are known more than 25 coin hoards, which consist entirely or to a great extent of central bronze coins (map 1). Small part of them was found in graves, but about rest of them we don’t know the context of discovery. They are mainly dated in the 2nd century AD and consist of small number of coins. Probably they were accidentally lost in the past and represent “daily money” or “purse hoards”. The coin hoard discussed here, most likely belong to the same category.
