Summary

A hoard of 310 Roman imperial denarii (from Trajan to Commodus) and their barbarian imitations was discovered by treasure hunters in November 2017 in the Kyiv region. Information about the find and the first 104 coins were published on November 29, 2017, on the Ukrainian treasure hunting forum Violity, followed by the next 117 coins on December 6, 2017. The hoard was discovered by four treasure hunters in a ploughed field and appears to have been partially ploughed (the coins were collected from a relatively large area). A total of 310 coins were found, which were divided among the finders (two of the treasure hunters did not publish photos of their coins). The coins were in a hand-made vessel, a significant part of which has been preserved. A silver buckle, a bronze brooch, an iron knife with a bone handle and a “spinning wheel-like thing” (probably a knife tip?) were also found with the coins (all artefacts are specific for the Chernyakhiv culture). The coins are very poorly preserved (heavily worn). One of the coins was pierced, another had a plugged hole. The further fate of the coins is unknown.
