I am involved in the publication and study of ancient coin finds (you can see our web site Moneta //www.cultura-net.com/moneta/content.htm.<br>
This program of publication is under the patronage of the International Numismatic Commission.<br>
A part of my program concerns Romania (others are dealing with Georgia and Armenia) and we are publishing a corpus of Roman Republican Denarii struck during the 2n dand 1st century BC.<br>
These hoards are in general linked to some gifts to the mercenaries employed in the Roman Armies. We published a corpus of these hoards buried in the 2nd c. AD with a cartography in the volume on Armenia.<br>
One thing very clear is that the hoards in Romania are linked to some activity perhaps linked to the fights and wars in the 2/1st c BC.<br>
I would like to know if anyone has ideas on the military relations between the Roman Army and some Romanian mercenaries.<br>
Thanks<br>
