Summary

A small hoard of 21 Roman imperial denarii (from Domitian to Commodus) and three bronze artefacts was found by a treasure hunter in March 2016 somewhere in Central Ukraine, probably in Cherkassy region. On March 10, 2016, on the Ukrainian treasure hunting forum Violity was published information about the hoard and a photo of the coins and items from it (the finder identified the deposit as a “purse of denarii”). There is no information about the conditions of the find. The coins have heavy wear, one of the coins has strong oxide traces. The bronze items are rectangular in shape and are most likely belt plate: two measure 4.5x0.7cm and one (with six rivets) measures 4.3x1.3cm. In March 2016 the hoard was sold at the Violity auction, and the further fate of the coins is unknown.
