jest antoninian Ciordiana III wybity w 238 roku, natomiast najmłodszą antoninian
Treboniana Galla z 251 roku. Depozyt ten jest bardzo ważny dla zrozumienia
historii i chronologii kultury czemiachowskiej w regionie środkowego Dniestru
i górnego Bugu.
SŁOWA KLUCZOWE: antoniniany, Pereginka (Balakiri) 2, okres późno-
rzymski, kultura czerniachowska
Roman antoniniani - thirty-three complete and three broken specimens -
were found in autumn 2009, about half a kilometre from the northem margin of
the Balakiri settlement, belonging administratively to the village of Pereginka in
the Yarmolyntsi region of KhmePnitskyi Province, Ukrainę, on a gentle eastem
slope of a nameless stream in the watershed of the Vovk River (a right-hand
tributary of the Southern Bug River).
The coins were collected in a field that, for many years, had been subjected
to deep ploughing and the cultivation of the soil for agricultural use. According
to the information that is available, most of the coins were concentrated over
a limited area, approximately 15 m x 10 m in size; a few of the coins were
dispersed by machinery along the lines of ploughing for up to 30 m. The pattem of
the coins’ dispersal and their generał condition suggest that the collected antoniniani
could be part of a monetary deposit laid down at a depth of 25-40 cm and raised
to the surface by the use of morę potent technical devices applied in recent years to
the cultivation of local farmland.
Later, five morę antoniniani - four of which were complete and one broken -
were found in the same place.
As a result, when preparing this paper, we had forty-one specimens of these
coins, distributed between various issuers in the following way: Gordian III
(AD 238-244) - eleven pieces; Philip I (AD 244-249) - sixteen pieces (including
one for Otacilia Severa and one for Philip II); Trajan Decius (AD 249-251) -
twelve (including three for Herennia Etruscilla); Trebonianus Gallus (AD 251-
-253) - one; Volusian (AD 251-253) - one (see Table 1). This assemblage of coins
was introduced to the scientific community in several publications.1
The time limits for the assemblage are provided as follows: the lowest datę -
AD 238 - is provided by the issue of Gordian IITs coins: IOVI CONCERYATORI
(no. 1 in the catalogue) and PROVIDENTIA AVG (no. 2 in the catalogue);
the highest datę - AD 251-253 - is provided by the issue of Trebonianus Gallus
(PIETAS AVGG; no. 40 in the catalogue) and Yolusian (PAX AVGG; no. 35
