Comment

"In 1960-1961 during the construction of agricultural buildings in the same locality two hoards of Roman coins were found. They were placed in small vessels, at about 100 m from one another, at a depth of 0,60 m from the contemporary surface. Only one of the vessels was brought to the museum in Rousse. The other one was probably broken and lost." (Varbanov 2016, 10-11)

Small vessel

"The vessel is made by means of a fast wheel, from purified clay, with a lightly ocher color after baking. Its surface was covered with brown varnish, which is erased now. It is filed under inventory number 331. The diameter of the mouth is 103 mm, that of the bottom – 46 mm, and its height is 66 mm. The lower internal part of the vessel is darker in color, up to 2 cm above its bottom. Probably this is the preserved level, up to where the coins kept in it had reached." (Varbanov 2016, 11, n. 3)
