Roman imperial coins from Măgirești hoard (Bacău County) in the collection of the History and Archeology Museum of Piatra-Neamț

Summary/Abstract: The Roman imperial coin hoard from Măgirești-„Dealul Bisericii” was accidentally discovered in 1968. At that time, the coins were divided between different museums in Moldova: Iași (batch I – 134 pcs.), Bacău (batch II – 21 pcs.) and Onești (batch III – 12 pcs.). In recent years (2013 and 2017), two new batches of this hoard were discovered using metal detectors, and they reached the museums from Piatra-Neamț (batch IV – 22 pcs.) and Bacău (batch V – 58 pcs.). Up to the present, we have information about 247 coins from this discovery, which are kept in the collections of four different museums.We present the IVth batch of this discovery, which contains 22 coins, kept at the museum from Piatra-Neamț. These coins were found at Măgirești-„Dealul Bisericii”, at the end of the year 2013, with the help of metal detectors. Initially, the coins were confiscated by the Neamț County Police Inspectorate, then being handed over to the History and Archeology Museum of Piatra Neamț, in 2014. The batch contains 21 imperial „denarii” dated in the period between Vespasianus and Marcus Aurelius reigns and a silver „drachma” of Trajan, from Lycia. In terms of composition and chronological structure, this monetary batch is similar to the other lots that are known from this discovery. The provincial coin from Lycia is certified for the first time in the composition of the hoard from Măgirești.
