dicate therefore the present article, concerning the both issues, to the
Jubilee with great pleasure.
More than sixty years ago Professor Ludwik Piotrowicz published an
extremely interesting and important work for the research on the ancient
coins inflow to the territory of middle-eastern Europę. The work con-
cerned the fmds of Greek and Roman coins discovered during the con-
struction of the railway in Lesser Poland2. The article was based on the
notes and the collection of engineer E. Benesz, which were bought from
A. Szkaradek by the Archaeological Museum of the Polish Academy of
Arts and Science, the present Archaeological Museum in Cracow, where
the notes are still kept3.
Among the coins published in this paper there are two Greek bronzes
found in Zarzecze in the Przemyśl voivodship4. According to E. Benesz's
notes both pieces were purchased the same day on August 2, 18825. L. Pio-
trowicz considered one of them to be a coin from Pergamon, whereas the
second one remained unrecognisedb. S. Kubiak introduced a correction
to the discussed coins in her publication on the Greek coins found on the
territory of Poland. The author included A. Krzyżanowska's new expla-
nation of the coins, according to which both artefacts were to represent
the emissions of the Bosphorus Kingdom sovereign Cotys II (123-132)7.
