Abstract
A hoard of Roman Republican denarii, found in the Sava River near the village of Prud in the Bosnian part of the Sava valley in 2012, is analysed and published in this paper. This newly-found hoard, terminating with the legionary denarii of Mark Antony, is compared to some other hoards terminating with these same coins, and also with other hoards in the region concealed in roughly the same period. It is concluded that the Prud hoard, classified as a small hoard, and perhaps associated with a military payment, testifies to the process of cultural change in south-eastern Pannonia occasioned by the increase of Roman influence during the 1st c. B.C., culminating in the Roman conquest of the region in the Tiberian Bellum Pannonicum.
