DESCOPERIRI DE SEMNE MONETARE ÎN URMA CERCETĂRILOR ARHEOLOGICE DIN TOMIS (1968-2001)
MONETARY SIGNS DISCOVERED DURING ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCHES AT TOMIS (1968-2001)

Summary/Abstract: The 31 monetary signs and a Histrian coin of the "wheeled" type were discovered following archaeological research carried out between 1968 and 2001 in the peninsula of ancient Tomis. The following are analyzed in detail: a number of 5 monetary signs and a "wheeled" coin coming from the forgotten inventory of a closed funerary complex, of particular importance in terms of their association as monetary symbols used to pay Charon to cross the Styx River; 3 monetary signs discovered on Sulmona street no. 7; 8 monetary signs discovered on Constantin Brâncoveanu street no. 4; and 12 monetary signs discovered on Arhiepiscopiei street no. 23. All these isolated findings from archaeological research prove once again the establishment of relations with economic and trade values established between the two demographic ethnic presences from Tomis in the early stages of the arrival of the colonizing population, in a malleable Greek-indigenous environment.
