Sažetak
The bronze coinage of Genio Augusti and Genio Caesaris types follows the reopening of the Siscia mint after its temporary closure during the difficult historical events of years 307 and 308. These coin types reflect numerous dynastic conflicts and clashes common in the period after the conference in Carnuntum in November 308 and Galerius’s death in May 311. Alongside some written sources, in the first place Lactantius and Eusebius, the best sources for these times can be found in coins, inscriptions and papyri. They reveal the background of those complicated political fights among various members of the tetrarchic collegium. This article presents the results of the analysis of material found in two large tetrarchic hoards – from Trijebanj in Bosnia and Hercegovina, and Bjelovar in Croatia – in which Genio Augusti and Caesaris are abundantly presented, with 667 pieces in total. New conclusions regarding the typology, circumstances and time of minting of these two types in the Siscia mint are also brought forward.
