Abstract

The article analyzes the coins found during archaeological excavations at a Roman villa in Soline Cove on the island of Sv. Klement in the Pakleni Archipelago off the Central Dalmatian island of Hvar. The earliest among the 32 coins found there are the coins of Illyrian King Ballaios and Roman Republican coins. Then follow Roman Imperial coins (with the ones from Late Antiquity being the most numerous) and a coin struck in the Venetian Republic. The typological, cultural-historical, statistical and contextual analyses of these finds can help us better understand the chronology of human activities in the natural and cultural landscape of the island of Sv. Klement and improve our knowledge of the circulation of the earliest coins and economic and political situation in Central Dalmatia of the day.
