New Data About the Roman Coin Hord from Făurei (Neamț County)

Summary/Abstract: Two Roman imperial coins are presented (1 AR, Antoninus Pius, Rome, 145-161 AD, RIC III: 129; 1 AR, Antoninus Pius for Faustina II, Rome, 147-161 AD, RIC III: 495a), which belong to the hoard from Făurei (Neamț County). The two coins are kept in the collection of the History Museum Roman (Neamț National Museum Complex), and they were handed over to this institution in the 80's of the last century, by the student Marius Moraru.The monetary discovery from Făurei belongs to the group of Roman imperial coin hoards from Moldavia, concluded in the time of Septimius Severus (the most recent coin dates from 193-194 AD, RIC IV/1:14). This hoard has some particular features, such as: the rather small size (44 pcs.), the very large number of denarii from Antoninus Pius (13 pcs., representing 34% of the hoard) and the absence of denarii issued by Commodus. We believe that these peculiarities are mainly due to the fact that the hoard from Făurei has not been fully recovered.
