THE SMALL HOARD FROM HERINA. DYRRACHIUM COINS AND SILVER BRACELET
Abstract
The increase of legislation flexibility with the opportunity to receive a fair amount of award for reporting the discovery of ancient artefact, has led to the raise of hoards’ number in the last decades in Romania.
This paper is focusing on a small such discovery that consists of 20 drachms of Dyrrachium and one Latene silver bracelet.
The combination of coins and silver bracelet in the vicinity of a Dacian settlement may suggest a symbolic value and a statue of the former owner. The lack of a container and a certain archaeological context does not allow, at the moment, to figure out whether the hoard was buried in an emergency situation or is result of a votive offering
