Comment

Some of the coins were found during the deep plowing for planting trees in the swampy area of the Perint creek. The find was reported in August. Following the rescue excavation, the archaeologist found the rest of the coins and the shards from the vessel. The coins were spread on 5 meter length following the deep plowing of the soil. In total there are 38 coins.

Site comment

The city was founded by the Romans in AD 45 under the name of Colonia Claudia Savariensum (Claudius' Colony of Savarians), and it was the capital of the Pannonia Superior. It lay close to the important "Amber Road" trade route. The city had an imperial residence, a public bath and an amphitheatre. (Wikipedia)
