the Younger Roman Period. Thus far, the coin discovered as a result of these probing
excavations - a sestertius of Lucius Verus (Cat. 4) - is the only Roman coin recorded
in this village. Roman coins have also been discovered during investigations of the
settlement in Wąsosz Górny, site 2; in the burial grounds in Opatów, site 1; and
in Mokra, site 8.53 In recent years, two Roman denarii - one from the age of Titus
(Cat. 5.1) and one from that of Hadrian (Cat. 5.2) - have been uncovered in the
environs of Kłobuck. These coins were found by accident and handed over to the
Museum of the Przeworsk Culture and the Memorial Chamber of the Battle of
Mokra in Mokra.54
The Roman coins in lands connected to Przeworsk culture settlements in the
Liswarta Basin are single finds. This is rather uncharacteristic in comparison to
other lands within Lesser Poland, where this category of imports is represented by
a much larger number.55 Denarii from the 2nd century AD are dominant in the Liswarta
Basin. A Republican coin from Radostków, Częstochowa District,56 and a 3rd-century
denarius of Claudius Gothicus from Opatów57 are recorded as single finds. Coins
from the age of Flavian but also from that of the Antonines are very often found in
lands connected to Przeworsk culture settlements. Only one commemorative issue
of Vespasian has been found in the Liswarta Basin. Around settlements, coins of
Flavian usually appear as single finds, as is given testimony to by the coins from the
following places: Jakuszowice, Kazimierza Wielka District;58 Pełczyska, Pińczów
District;59 and Gródek on the Bug River, Hrubieszów District.60 These issues are
recorded in hoards much more frequently.61 The coin of Hadrian is not the only single
find in the Liswarta Basin. A coin of this emperor have also been discovered in the
burial grounds in Mokra.62 A denarius subaeratus from Wąsosz Górny, one with
