Abstract
This paper deals with numismatic finds from the site of Prozor near
Otočac, in Lika, where the municipium of Arupium was located
in Roman times. These are finds that are part of the collection
of the Numismatic Department of the Archaeological Museum
in Zagreb, and which have come to the museum mostly through
purchase, donation or the work of the museum’s agents, without
an appropriate archaeological context. A total of 198 pieces are
analysed, of which 15 are of Pre-Imperial coinage. The remaining
coins, with the exception of one Byzantine tremissis, are Roman
imperial coins. Given the lack of archaeological context, the
paper is limited to studying numismatic finds regardless of their
stratigraphic position, i.e. using the site as an individual context
(the so-called coin series), and it also provides an analysis of the
monetary circulation of Roman Imperial coinage at the site itself,
and a comparison of the monetary circulation of Prozor with
comparable centres of the Roman Empire.
