Abstract
Preliminary analysis of coin finds from the area of the Roman
legionary fortress at Tilurium (today the village of Gardun, near
Trilj) is presented in this paper. The scholarly analysis encompasses
the finds yielded by systematic archaeological excavations,
as well as finds today stored in the Museum of the Cetina
Region, in Sinj. Most of the coin finds date to a period from the
first half of the 1st century AD, with a noticeable reduction in
coin supply starting in the second half of the 1st century and
continuing during the 2nd century. The period of the 3rd century,
and the period of late antiquity, in the 4th and 5th centuries, again
shows some increase, but the quantity of coin finds in these
centuries is smaller than the amount pertaining to the period of
the Principate. The dating of numismatic finds therefore largely
overlaps with the dating of Tilurium as a Roman legionary fortress
and then a fort used by auxiliary contingents.
