- Abstract
The hoard lot contain 39 “Thasian type” tetradrachms and 6 imitations. Because of the correspondence between dies we suppose that 4 of those imitations were being struck in the same minting place. In the case of imitations we have many writing errors, letters that were poorly copied after the “Thasian type” tetradrachms issued under the roman control. In majority of cases the monogram is of type 6, after Prokopov typology. Despite the fact that the discovery place is unknown, it is possible that this group of coins to be part of the Cașolț hoard found in 1777. We think that the hiding moment of this monetary deposit can be related with the one of Șieu-Odorhei hoard placed around 60 B.C. This low dating in concordance with the semnificative presence of imitations in the hoard. It’s very possible that a hoard horizon to be created in the connection with the expansion of Burebista’s power.
