Клад римских провинциальных тетрадрахм III в. из окрестностей Севастополя
A treasure of Roman provincial tetradrachms of the 3rd century from the vicinity of Sevastopo

Summary/Abstract: The object of the study is a coin hoard found at the beginning of the 21st century in the vicinity of Sevastopol. Unfortunately, a significant part of it was taken apart by local residents. Judging by the coins available for the study, the hoard included Roman provincial tetradrachms minted in the 3rd century in the provinces of Syria and Mesopotamia. The earliest coin was issued under Caracalla; some tetradrachms belong to Diodumenian (1) and Elagabalus (1). Most of the coins (11) were minted on behalf of Philip I the Arab and Philip II. It is noteworthy that ten of them were issued in the last year of the lives of these emperors. Seven coins were minted under Trajan Decius. The later coins (4 items) were issued on behalf of Trebonianus Gallus, with a pair of them dated back to the last year of his reign. It is assumed that the coins of the hoard arrived in Taurica as the booty captured by the barbarians during their campaign in Asia Minor shortly after the death of Trebonianus Gallus.
