Despre un tezaur de monede din secolul IV din Transilvania. Tezaurul de la Ocna de Sus (jud. Harghita)

  • Subiect: In a volume of correspondence on archaeology belonging to professor Zoltân Szekely from Sfântu Gheorghe National Museum (Szekely 2006, 211-212), in one of the letters addressed to the professor, mention is made of a group of six late Roman bronze coins which had been found near the locality Ocna de Sus (Praid commune, Harghita county). Four of these coins carne from emperor Valens (364-378) and the other two from brother emperor Valentinianus (364-376), having on their reverse the legend Gloria Romanorum. The clearest ones were determined as being issued at Siscia and Thessalonic. Unfortunately they have been lost today, nothing is known about their fate. The coin hoard from Ocna de Sus is not an isolated presence in the area; as traces of two rural settlements and even ancient coins have been identifies in the same locality; in the neighbouring village Ocna de Jos, in 1939 a late Roman bronze coin was found. The author (N. Gudea) believes that after 275 AD, the salt mines in the area continued to function and owing to this, there remained also a Romanised population which preserved relations with the surrounding world using Roman coins as instruments of exchange.
