Abstract

GOLD COINS OF THEODOSIUS II FROM EAST CRIMEA M.G. ABRAMZON and A.A. MASLENNIKOV The recording and precise positioning of coin finds are extremely important for the study of monetary circulation in the region to the North of the Black Sea. In recent decades progress has been made in this field and the situation in the region to the North-West of the Black Sea and the adjacent part of Eastern Europe has been clarified once and for all.' Further research is required, however, with regard to monetary circulation in the north-eastern part of the Black Sea region (particularly in the Cimmerian Bosporus) in the 5th century AD. In view of the fact that Roman gold coins of this period are encountered extremely rarely and constitute only a very small coin-group, each new find is of considerable interest. We shall therefore attempt to consider the Theodosius II solidi published in this short article in conjunction with currently available information on coins from the reigns of both this and other emperors found in the region to the North of the Black Sea and adjacent territories.
