Sažetak
An aes grave originating from the hoard from Mazin in Lika (IGCH 88), and a hoard of eight coinsfrom North-African, Punic and Numidian coins from Bosanski Petrovac are kept in ArchaeologicalMuseum in Split. The aes grave was acquired in 1903, as a gift to the Museum. It is one of manyspecimens of bronze bars from Mazin hoard. Besides the aes grave pieces, the hoard consistsof early emissions of Roman republican bronze down to mid 2nd century BC, Numidian, Punicand Ptolemaic coins from the 2nd century BC. The majority of the Mazin hoard is kept in theArchaeological Museum in Zagreb, however several pieces belonging to this hoard are kept in thecollections of other museums (e. g. Vienna and Belgrade).The hoard from Bosanski Petrovac is most likely a part of the big hoard from Donji Unac (Mirnik1987, p. 380). It is one of the so-called Mazin type hoards. The hoard came from Marczell collectionand was acquired by the Museum in 1946. It consists of two coins of Cartage and six Numidiancoins. The earlier coin of Cartage was issued from 221 to 210 BC, the more recent one from 200to 146 BC. Numidian coins belong to the emission bearing on the reverse a small globe underthe belly of the horse, which is held as a late emission of Masinissa. One Numidian coin, poorlypreserved (cat. no. 8) shows a massive lead core, characteristic for Numidian coinage. The BosanskiPetrovac hoard also consisted of two Syracusan coins, which are missing presently.
