A hoard of Celtic and Roman coins from the Ljubljanica River
A contribution to the chronology of the coinage of the Taurisci

Abstract

The find of 59 large and small Celtic coins and 23 Roman republican coins is exceptionally interesting and important, as it is one of the few found in the broader region of the eastern Alps where Celtic coins from two different areas were found together with Roman coinage. The find therefore enables an entirely objective verification of the accuracy of the dating for the minting of coins by the Norici and the Taurisci. The find from the Ljubljanica represents essential proof that the tribe of the Taurisci minted its own coinage as early as the middle of the 2nd century BC (similarly as the tribe of the Norici on the northern side of the Karavanken Mountains).
