Sažetak
Thirty years ago an analysis was made of the tremisses of the Western Roman emperor Julius
Nepos kept in the numismatic collections of several museums in Croatia (Split), Bosnia and
Herzegovina (Sarajevo), and Slovenia (Ljubljana). On that occasion, in addition to the
usual examples minted in imperial mints in the Italic prefecture (Mediolanum, Ravenna,
and Rome), a group of six tremisses were attributed to a mint of Nepos identified as having
existed in Salona (Dalmatia), five of which were connected by use of the same reverse die. The
numismatic material available at that point from European museums and private collections
enabled that number to be increased to thirteen in various manners related and evidently
well connected coins (dies, style, workmanship, finds, museum collections). In this manner
it was possible with greater certainty to distinguish five Salonitan groups (some of them
with two or three sub-groups) and to hypothesize their possible chronological arrangement.
Throughout the years, the number of examples available for analysis has increased from 13
to 27, the number of sub-groups has increased from 5 to 8, while the quantification of the dies
and tremisses in individual groups has begun to indicate specific features characteristic for
circulation in a regional and possibly wider distribution of individual groups and sub-groups.
