To czwarta moneta rzymska pozyskana na tej nekropoli, ale pierwsza o tym nominale. Antoniniany są licznie znajdowane w północnej części obszaru kultury wielbarskiej, w tym na Wysoczyźnie Elbląskiej. Ich odkrycia rejestrowane są także na innych obszarach Barbaricum, ale rzadko w grobach, gdzie dominują denary i subaeraty, w większości z otworami. Moneta z Weklic to drugi antoninian odkryty w grobie ludności tej kultury, ale pierwszy z perforacją. Prawdopodobnie używana była jako amulet lub ozdoba w postaci zawieszki.

The museum received 28 denarii from the Nerva-Antonine dynasty, the youngest of which dates back to 191-192. The Shchuchyn district and adjacent territories are known for the largest number of finds of Roman coins, including hoards, in the Grodno region. Numerous Roman and Eastern German imports recorded in this region allow us to hypothesize the penetration of the Goths into the right bank of the Neman River or their powerful influence on local Baltic population. ABSTRAKT: W zbiorach Grodzieńskiego Państwowego Muzeum Historyczno-Archeologicznego znajduje się skarb denarów Cesarstwa Rzymskiego, znaleziony w pobliżu wsi Ciapy w rejonie szczuczyńskim obwodu grodzieńskiego Białorusi. Do muzeum trafiło 28 denarów dynastii Antoninów, z których najmłodszy pochodzi z lat 191-192. Rejon szczuczyński oraz tereny przyległe znane są z największej na Grodzieńszczyźnie liczby znalezisk monet rzymskich, w tym skarbów. Znaleziono tu osiem depozytów gromadnych, z których tylko dwa trafiły do zbiorów muzealnych. Liczne importy rzymskie i wschodniogermańskie odnotowane w rejonie szczuczyńskim, a także na terenach sąsiednich, pozwalają postawić hipotezę o penetracji Gotów na prawobrzeżną część dorzecza Niemna lub o ich silnym wpływie na miejscową ludność bałtyjską.

Recently, information has been obtained about a solidus of Valentinian III, minted in AD 440–455 in Rome, found within the range of the East Lithuanian Barrow culture, in the vicinity of the present-day village of Roŭnaje Pole (Ašmiany Raion, Hrodna Voblast’ in the Republic of Belarus). The coin probably arrived in the right-bank part of the Neman River basin from one of the areas with a large number of finds of 5th -century solidi, i.e. from the southern coast of the Baltic Sea or from the Carpathian Basin.

All of them are represented by denarii of the Roman Empire. Only in one of the deposits-from the village of Bačancythere is a hybrid barbarian imitation of the imperial denarius. Another of the hoards, found near the village of Varanki, contains, in addition to denarii, fragments of cut silver items, which dates to the beginning of the Migration Period, which makes it possible to determine the date of hiding of this complex in the 5th century. All these finds were made in the course of illegal searches and, unfortunately, only one hoard (Bačancy) almost entirely ended up in the museum collection. The rest of the deposits went to private collections, which hinders their detailed study. Along with new finds in the Hrodna region, there are from 9 to 13 hoards of antique coins. Most of them consist of denarii of the Roman Empire (sometimes along with barbarian imitations). Of the other deposits, the most interesting are the hoard of Roman Republican denarii from under the village of Luckaŭliany, a complex of bronze Alexandrian tetradrachms from under the village of Turec and a hoard (?) of perforated aurei from under the village of Ambileŭcy. Most of the hoards of Roman coins from the Hrodna region can be associated with the East Germans (Pszeworsk and Wielbark archaeological cultures), who penetrated into the Neman River basin inhabited by Baltic tribes in the first half of the 1st millennium AD. It is with the Germans that the vast majority of the hoards of Roman Imperial denarii found on the territory of Barbaricum are associated. It is also possible that some of the hoards could have been deposited by the Balts, which are under powerful East German influence.

copper denominations, which were minted in the Roman Empire in the II–IV centuries. These are not only coins
of the imperial mintage, but also coins of the eastern provinces of the Empire, including a unique hoard of
Alexandrian tetradrachms from the Kareličy district.
The penetration of Roman copper coins into the Belarusian part of the Neman river basin is associated,
first of all, with the migration of the West Baltic population to this region, which used these coins mainly as raw
materials for bronze foundry production.

University. The oldest are Roman imperial denarii from the Alekšycy hoard, the main part of which is kept in the
museum of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus. The largest in terms of the number of coins (838
Prague groats, Lithuanian half-groats and denarii) is the Halšany hoard. Three hoards (Novaja Spuša, Voŭpa-1
and Voŭpa-2) consist of 17th century solidi, and 4 more hoards belong to the period of the Russian Empire: a
hoard of Russian silver of the 2nd half of the 18th century (“Hrodna”), the remains of a hoard with coins of the
Duchy of Warsaw and the Kingdom of Poland (Mscibava-1) and two small hoards of coins of the Russian
Empire (Zelva and Mscibava-2), probably hidden during the First World War. Finally, the latest is the
Darošavičy hoard, hidden in 1944 and comprising coins of the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich.

University: an imitation of Probus’ aureus (found in the Brest region), and an imitation of semissis(?) of
Valentinian I (the location of the find is unknown). Laser elemental microanalysis showed that the coating
of both coins is absolutely dominated by gold (with a small admixture of copper and silver). At the same
time, the chemical composition of the core of the studied coins differs. In imitation of aureus, the main
component of the core is copper, which is traditional for plated coins. But in the core of the imitation of
semissis is dominated by lead, which at the current stage of study of such coins looks very unusual.

Museum of the Republic of Belarus, which was found in the village of Karalev Stan, Minsk district in 1978. The
authors clarified the attribution and prepared statistics of this interesting and attractive complex, the hoarding
of which they date back to the last years of the XVII century - the beginning of the XVIII century. Today it is
known that in the 1990s the “treasure hunters” found another part of this hoard, not revealed in the initial survey.
The number of coins found is unknown, but we can talk about dozens, among which were definitely thalers. The
coins have not been studied and have been distributed in private collections, making it impossible for scientists to
perform a full analysis of this complex

mainly of poltoraks of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and dreipцlkers of the Swedish Baltic States and Prussia.
Quite a significant part of the treasure consists of shillings, the later of which are dated 1650-1660 yrs. Denominations
larger than one and a half of groat are represented in a relatively insignificant amount. This suggests that the
treasure belonged to a merchant, and its “hiding” is due to the war between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and
the Russian Empire. The scientific research of the hoard of Garoshki will be continued. Particularly interesting and
promising is the detailed analysis of poltoraks and dreipцlkers, which will make it possible to supplement the knowledge
of these coins and clarify their typology

The coin part of the hoard consists of Roman silver coins of the 1st–2nd centuries AD. The youngest denarii are those of the 1st half – the mid 190s AD. And they serve for conditional dating of the complex. The conditional character of dating lies in the fact that in this case the later coins indicate terminus post quem only, i.e. the date after which the complex was deposited. The more trustworthy chronological indicator could have been the non-numismatic component of the hoard, but it is unfortunately unknown where it is at the moment.

A hoard found in the vicinity of the village of Luckaŭliany occupies a special place among them. It contained 11 Roman Republican denarii and a Numidian denarius. These data suggest that the distribution of silver coins of the 2nd to the 1st centuries BC in this part of Barbaricum was associated with the expansion of the Przeworsk culture, the bearers of which were quite familiar with Roman silver coins. At the same time, most of the finds under consideration should not be associated with the Przeworsk culture itself, but with population of neighboring cultures that had intensive contacts with the latter.
Niniejszy artykuł analizuje dane dotyczące nowych znalezisk monet Repu- bliki Rzymskiej w zachodniej Białorusi. Szczególne miejsce pośród nich zajmuje skarb znaleziony w sąsiedztwie wsi Luckaŭliany. Zawierał on 11 rzymskich repu- blikańskich denarów i jeden denar numidyjski. Dane te wskazują, że dystrybucja srebrnych monet z II–I w. p.n.e. w tej części Barbaricum wiązała się z ekspansją kultury przeworskiej, której ludność była dobrze zaznajomiona z rzymskim srebr- nym pieniądzem. Jednocześnie większość omawianych znalezisk nie powinna być łączona bezpośrednio z kulturą przeworską, ale z ludnością sąsiednich kultur, którą z „przeworczykami” łączyły intensywne kontakty.

The authors argue that the coins may have reached Belarus from the Danubian provinces as well as directly from Nicaea (present-day İznik in Turkey), i.e., from those locations or territories where their participation in monetary circulation was the greatest. It is most likely that those coins may have been seized by the Barbarians during their incursions into the Roman provinces in the course of the Gothic Wars (3rd century CE).

Niniejszy artykuł analizuje dane dotyczące nowych znalezisk monet Repu- bliki Rzymskiej w zachodniej Białorusi. Szczególne miejsce pośród nich zajmuje skarb znaleziony w sąsiedztwie wsi Luckaŭliany. Zawierał on 11 rzymskich repu- blikańskich denarów i jeden denar numidyjski. Dane te wskazują, że dystrybucja srebrnych monet z II–I w. p.n.e. w tej części Barbaricum wiązała się z ekspansją kultury przeworskiej, której ludność była dobrze zaznajomiona z rzymskim srebr- nym pieniądzem. Jednocześnie większość omawianych znalezisk nie powinna być łączona bezpośrednio z kulturą przeworską, ale z ludnością sąsiednich kultur, którą z „przeworczykami” łączyły intensywne kontakty.
