Abstract

This paper deals with the finds of Hispanian coins
of the pre-imperial period from the territory of the
eastern Adriatic coast and its deeper hinterland. These
numismatic materials were discovered individually
and as parts of so-called Mazin-type hoards. A total
of 28 specimens are known, of which most have thus
far not been published. Most were minted in Castulo.
Three are Obulco coins. They are followed by finds
from three Hispanian cities. These are: Emporiae,
Kelse and Sekobirikes. These regional numismatic
materials originally from the western Mediterranean
were found at 15 different sites as an isolated phenomenon,
generally in Iapodia and Liburnia. Only a
single example came from central Dalmatia. It was
found during archaeological excavations in the territory
of Resnik, near Split.
