Abstract

Tijekom arheoloških istraživanja višeslojnog visinskog lokaliteta Kuzelin u blizini Sesveta pronađena je znatna količina rimskog novca. Ova se vrsta naselja pojavljuje na širem prostoru Carstva, a postaje dominantan oblik naselja u kasnoj antici. Na Kuzelinu je izdvojeno nekoliko faza naseljavanja u antičkome periodu, koje djelomično potvrđuje i numizmatički zapis s lokaliteta. U radu je obrađeno ukupno 505 primjeraka rimskog novca, koji se vremenski može smjestiti u razdoblje između 1. st. pr. Kr. do sredine 5. st. Pri analizi materijala korišten je metodološki pristup kojeg Richard Reece definira kao „coin supply“. Najzastupljeniji je novac druge polovine 4. st., a znatnija količina pripada razdoblju druge polovine 3. st., što se uklapa u širi obrazac naseljavanja visinskih utvrđenih naselja na predalpskom prostoru. Novac je uglavnom kovan u rimskoj i siscijskoj kovnici, no zabilježena je prisutnost novca kovanog u još 14 kovnica.

Abstract (english)

A substantial quantity of Roman coins was discovered at the Late Antique fortified hilltop site of Kuzelin, near Sesvete. This type of settlement is prevalent across the broader region of the Roman Empire, becoming the predominant form of habitation in Late Antiquity. At Kuzelin, several phases of settlement during the ancient period have been identified, which are partially corroborated by the numismatic record from the site. In this paper, a total of 505 Roman coins were analysed, spanning from the 1st century BC to the mid-5th century AD. The analytical framework employed was the “coin supply” approach as defined by Richard Reece. The most prevalent coins are those from the second half of the 4th century, with a significant quantity also from the latter half of the 3rd century. This is consistent with the settlement patterns of fortified hilltop sites in the pre-Alpine region. The coins were predominantly minted in the mints of Rome and Siscia, although coins from 14 other mints were also identified.
