Summary

15 provincial bronzes found during the salvage excavation at Zeugma in 1998, on the floor of a house. The report in Coin Hoards mentions '15 AE of Zeugma in the names of Gordian III, Philip I and Philip II'. However, there are no coins of Zeugma issued under Gordian III, so these must belong to a different mint.
