One of the archaeologically most interesting layers of this famous site was occupied by the cemetery of a local community of the bearers of the early medieval Bijelo Brdo Culture. The monograph analyzes and discusses this early medieval archaeological stratum that today is still the largest discovered cemetery of the Bijelo Brdo Culture in Croatia. The Vukovar cemetery is a typical row cemetery with horizontal stratigraphy, with the deceased placed mainly on their backs in simple grave pits oriented west-east. Scientific interest is mainly focused on the burial rituals and the grave goods — data and artifacts that were quite abundant at Lijeva Bara and that were collected in great quantities. This, as well as the fact that relatively solid and still useful documentation was generated during the excavations in the 1950s has enabled the Bijelo Brdo site and its finds to be thoroughly studied, analyzed, compared, and scientifically processed in a new and modern manner. All the data about the grave and the grave finds, in addition to being scientifically analyzed and compared with data from neighboring countries, are listed and described in catalogue form, and all the archaeological and osteological material was drawn, photographed, and presented in the monograph in the form of grave records, plates, and typological tables. It should be emphasized that the archaeological material available to the author was both extensive and diverse, and as it belongs to the earliest periods of the Bijelo Brdo Culture, it is of particular interest and importance, particularly for Croatian early medieval archaeology, which to date does not yet know of a Bijelo Brdo grave chronology earlier or more extensive than that of the Lijeva Bara cemetery.

When not long afterwards, the minting in Sirmium was extended to include the Ostrogothic period, a historical framework between the years 504/5 and 568 was created – recently supplemented by an unrecognized Byzantine minting (567-568).1 Until the mid 80s of the last century, the number of known examples of these coins was still very small, but the numerous easily noticeable differences and stylistic features of the silver coins from Sirmium prompted reflection and the desire to give the observed differences a clearer meaning, if pos- sible united in just a few words – which is how the name “the Sirmium group” was coined and passed into usage over time. In the meantime, the development of digital technologies and their wide availability on the one hand, and the uncontrolled activity of metal detector “archae- ologists” on the other hand, have introduced large quantities of silver coins of the “Sirmium group” to the market for ancient coins, so what were until recently numismatic curiosities have suddenly become an easily accessible source of interest and investigation for many. In the mid- 1990s, the beginning of the new era of the “Sirmium group” was symbolically announced by the appearance of a specimen that was different from all previously known ones – due to the reverse legend, it was called the Victoria type and associated with 504/505, the year in which the previously Gepidic Sirmium was once again ruled by the Ostrogoths. The unique nature of that Ostrogothic variant of the Victoria type lasted until 2016, when four new, typologically related but nonetheless different variants appeared at numismatic auctions within a span of just three years. The stylistic and typological content of the three variants would suggest their creation and minting in a period at least a decade earlier than the only previously known Ostrogothoc variants, and these, as considerably earlier, are now attributed to the Sirmium Gepids and their King Thrasaric (489-504/505). The fourth version is an imitation of the already well-known and currently most numerous Ostrogothic variant of the Victoria type minted in 504/505, with which it is either almost contemporaneous or only a few years earlier.

Shield-shaped rings, such as they are frequently termed in part of the professional literature, are characteristic primarily for Moravia, and also for eastern Austria and Slovenia, and can also be found in Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, and they are hence considered a jewelry form characteristic for the Danubian region. The finds from Dalmatia and Albania suggest a different solution, and it is certain that the problems related to this type of ring are more numerous and complicated than previously thought. One example, previously unpublished, is in the collections of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb. Its main characteristics tie it to the shield-shaped rings of the Blučina type.

Also discussed are two more tremisses: a specimen from SIASP (today held in Trieste, Italy), a probable find from Istria (Croatia), and an interesting imitation of a Milan tremissis of Odovacar struck after 482/3, found in Slovenia. The material presented is compared with similar examples, whether described in print or not, and is analysed in typological and chronological terms. The fundamental stylistic and typological elements that enable the determination and chronolo- gical classification of Odovacar's Milan tremisses minted in the period from 476/477 to 482/483 are presented. Previous incorrect references and inadequate and outdated assessments in the standard reference work (RIC X) are corrected with the results of this research and presented in table form, furnished, where necessary, with notes.

Although interesting and important, due to a lack of acceptance in numismatic circles outside the former "Viennese" numismatic school in which it originated, it eventually fell into oblivion and was (and remains) largely unexplored, but is still here or there timidly or stealthily mentioned. In the period when this aspect of mint activities was explicitly noted, the available numismatic material and possibilities of research were much more modest in comparison to the present day. Therefore, it seemed worth placing this topic back on the table and beginning with questioning and investigating on a new basis. For this occasion, mobility in one part had to be conceptually redefined and factually and directly connected (when possible) with both known and unknown imperial itineraries and the circumstances that led to it. Two randomly chosen examples of the mobile activities of the Western Roman court mints aided in this: the first, based on the known itineraries from the lengthy reign of the emperor Valentinian III (425-455) and the numismatic material created during his stays outside of his residential seat, and the second, based on the numismatic material from the brief reign of the emperor Julius Nepos (474-475), where features attributed to the mobility of the court mint aided in detecting imperial itineraries unrecorded in the historical sources.

A group of silver Early Byzantine coins of the second half of the 6th century poorly known in arc... more A group of silver Early Byzantine coins of the second half of the 6th century poorly known in archaeological (but not numismatic) circles is characterized by an obverse depiction of a winged bust (en face) with an aureole around the head, and a reverse depiction of a large cross with a semicircle (aureole or a domed arch / ciborium,
tabernacle, canopy) and a circle at the base (the head of Adam or the grave of Christ),
and a small cross on each side. The unnamed winged bust on the obverse is surrounded by a border of beads, and the group of three crosses on the reverse with a wreath of stylized pinebranches. The described coins are unique and without any analogies in the minting production of the period to which they belong. The winged
bust on the obverse was long ago recognized as the figure of an angel, first unnamed, and later identified as the Archangel Michael, while the image of the three crosses on the reverse was first considered to represent the monogram of the Lombard King Cleph, and only lately as a highly simplified depiction of the scene of the Crucifixion
of Christ on Golgotha/Calvary. The Christianization of the obverse and reverse points to the powerful “non-monetary” character of the coinage of the Angel/Golgotha type (also cited according to the first sites of discovery: the Kranj-Rifnik group), while the apotropaic quality of these images predisposed them to be used for phylacteric and amuletic purposes as well. Hence it is likely that the Angel/Golgotha coin type was minted in specific circumstances and for the needs of a local community, depicting
on one side the Archangel Michael, the leader of the heavenly army, the protector of Byzantium and the emperor in Constantinople (Angel – obverse), and emphasizing, on the other hand, the triumph of Christ over death in the dogmatic sense (Golgotha – reverse). The numismatic characteristics of this coinage and its basic features are congruent with the Gepid coinage of the Sirmium mint minted during the reign of their King Cunimund (ca. 560 – 567), and the first years of the reign of the Byzantine
Emperor Justin II (565 – 578). In that period, the year 567 was particularly important for Byzantium and the local Gepid-Romanic community in Pannonia Sirmiensis, when promptly after the Gepid collapse in the war against the Lombards, the Byzantine army captured Sirmium, and after almost 80 years was once again in charge of the city. Immediately afterwards, in the spring of 568, the Byzantine military commander (Bonus) was forced to resist a months-long Avar siege of Sirmium, but ultimately managed to defend the city. In such special circumstances, the Byzantine
administration minted coinage of the Angel/ Golgotha type (the Kranj-Rifnik group), while the siege and the horrors of war resonated further, also being recorded on the famous Sirmium engraved brick (in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb).

It is located in the central part of the Bilogora Podravina region (Drava River basin heights) along the main road parallel to the Drava River (M 2), leading from Đurđevac to Virovitica. It is the easternmost municipal center of Koprivnica-Križevči County. In the Middle Ages, a fortified moated manor called Gorbonok (Gorbonuk) was located in the area of Kloštar Podravski, mentioned for the first time in 1264, along with a Franciscan monastery on land nearby mentioned for the first time in 1292, and somewhat to the south of this, a parish with the church of St. Hadrian, first mentioned in 1334. The fact that the settlement at Kloštar Podravski was at least two and a half centuries older than its first mention is proven by the early medieval cemetery uncovered in 1885 at the site called Peski (also Pieski, Pjeski, etc. = Sand Dunes), located about 2 kilometers north of the center of Kloštar. The exact position of the cemetery excavated then is difficult to establish today with absolute certainty, and very little can be said from the standpoint of modern archaeology about the excavations at Peski near Kloštar Podravski and the manner in which they were carried out. The excavations were performed in 1885, 1886 (twice), and 1890 in a manner similar to that at many other sites in Croatia at that time, and hence only modest reports exist offering data of a general nature, where sometimes useful but usually too generalized information can be found, along with the less often useful and usually subjective observations of the investigator. Systematic field notes, diaries, records, sketches, or photographs either do not exist or were not preserved. What is known is that three excavations were carried out by the highly respected secondary school chemistry teacher in Bjelovar, Gustav Fleischer (1885, 1886, and 1890), and only once by the director of the National Museum in Zagreb, Šime Ljubić (1886), the excavations altogether did not take place over much more than 10 days, a considerable area was investigated (greatly exceeding the once mentioned 24 m2), and that certainly more than 42 skeletons were discovered, among which, according to the observations made then, every third grave would or could have contained finds. The surface area of the site was assessed as “almost a square kilometer”, which would correspond to the area of a large cemetery of the Bijelo Brdo Culture. It can also be assumed that the majority of the excavated finds were sent or taken to the National Museum in Zagreb, and that they are presently located and kept in its successor institution, the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb – primarily jewelry for the head, chest, and hands made of silver and bronze: very numerous S-circlets (large and small format), cast and filigree raceme earrings, crescent-shaped cast earrings and lunular earrings of the Köttlach Culture, openwork earrings of filigree wire, two-part pendants, necklaces of glass beads (and metal pendants), a cross-pendant, small closed bells, closed and open-ended rings, and an iron arrowhead with a rhomboid blade and a socket (found among the chest bones of a skeleton). The collected artifacts show that the early medieval cemetery at Peski was in use throughout almost the entire 11th century.

Subsequently, it was identified as part of the scabbard of a sword. The materials used in its making are expensive and available to few, and its construction suggests it was manufactured in a specialised goldsmith’s workshop equipped and trained to work with gold, almandines and ivory(?). Rare comparative archaeological evidence classifies it among precious scabbard mouthpiece fittings which
could only have been worn by a high-ranking member of the late Roman military elite serving in Dalmatia during the “Dalmatian dynasty” of Marcellinus and Julius Nepos, or later, during the reign of Odoacer. i.e. in the last third or quarter of the fifth century. The appendix to this paper analyses data related to cloisonné on scabbard mouthpiece fittings from nineteen early Merovingian sites covered by the Beauvais-Planig type (type 2), for which a classification into subtypes 2a to 2d is proposed here.

Materijali upotrijebljeni u njegovoj izradbi skupocjeni su i dostupni malobrojnima, a tehnika izradbe upućuje na rad specijalizirane zlatarske radionice opremljene i obučene za rad sa zlatom, almandinima i bjelokosti(?). Rijetka komparativna arheološka građa svrstava ga među skupocjene okove usta korica mača kakav je o pojasu mogao nositi jedino neki visoko pozicionirani pripadnik kasnorimskodobne vojne elite službujuće u Dalmaciji u vrijeme “dalmatinske dinastije” Marcelina i Julija Nepota ili kasnije, za vladavine Odoakara, tj. u posljednjoj trećini ili posljednjoj četvrtini 5. stoljeća. U dodatku ovog rada analizirani su i podaci koji se odnose na kloazoniranje na okovima usta korica s devetnaest ranomerovinških nalazišta obuhvaćenima tipom Beauvais- Planig (tip 2), za koje je ovdje predložena klasifikacija na podtipove 2a do 2d.

On that occasion, in addition to the usual examples minted in imperial mints in the Italic prefecture (Mediolanum, Ravenna, and Rome), a group of six tremisses were attributed to a mint of Nepos identified as having existed in Salona (Dalmatia), five of which were connected by use of the same reverse die. The numismatic material available at that point from European museums and private collections enabled that number to be increased to thirteen in various manners related and evidently well connected coins (dies, style, workmanship, finds, museum collections). In this manner it was possible with greater certainty to distinguish five Salonitan groups (some of them
with two or three sub-groups) and to hypothesize their possible chronological arrangement. Throughout the years, the number of examples available for analysis has increased from 13 to 27, the number of sub-groups has increased from 5 to 8, while the quantification of the dies and tremisses in individual groups has begun to indicate specific features characteristic for circulation in a regional and possibly wider distribution of individual groups and sub-groups.

Prije tridesetak godina napravljena je analiza tremisa zapadnorimskog cara Julija Nepota sačuvanih u numizmatičkim zbirkama nekoliko muzeja u Hrvatskoj (Split), Bosni i Hercegovini (Sarajevo) i Sloveniji (Ljubljana). Tom prigodom, osim uobičajenih primjeraka kovanih u carskim kovnicama italske prefekture (Mediolanum, Ravenna i Roma), identificirano je i nekoliko primjeraka iz Nepotove kovnice u Saloni te je atribuirano šest tremisa od kojih je čak pet povezano korištenjem istog reversnog kalupa. U to vrijeme dostupna numizmatička građa iz europskih muzeja i privatnih zbirki omogućila je da se taj broj poveća na trinaest kovanica na razne načine srodnih i evidentno dobro povezanih (kalupi, stil izrade, nalazi, muzejske zbirke). Tako se s više sigurnosti moglo izdvojiti pet salonitanskih grupa (neke s dvije ili tri podgrupe) te pretpostaviti njihov kronološki raspored. Tijekom godina porastao je broj za analizu dostupnih primjeraka s 13 na 27 primjeraka, i broj njihovih podgrupa porastao je s 5 na 8 podgrupa, a kvantifikacija kalupa i tremisa u pojedinim grupama počela je pokazivati specifičnosti karakteristične za optjecaj te regionalnu i eventualnu nadregionalnu distribuciju pojedinih grupa i podgrupa.

Do Drugoga svjetskog rata zanimale su Vinskog ponajviše etnološke teme i problemi, kadšto i zaštita spomeničke baštine, a arheologiji se počeo priklanjati, diskretno i povučen u sjenu, tek tijekom Drugoga svjetskog rata. Po završetku rata 1945. godine zapošljava se u Arheološkom muzeju u Zagrebu te kao arheolog ulazi u jedan nov znanstveno-istraživački svijet. Arheološke teme koje ga isprva zanimaju vezane su uz Slavene, sredinom 50-ih godina prošlog stoljeća sve više i češće piše o arheološkoj ostavštini panonskih Germana, a potom i o njihovim kasnoantičkim suvremenicima te o ranom Bizantu. Naprotiv, Avari i avaroslavenska ostavštima u njegovu bogatom opusu zastupljeni su relativno malim brojem priloga, iako neki od tih priloga još uvijek predstavljaju korisno i važno znanstveno štivo. Hrvatima se bavio već u svojoj etnološkoj fazi i pojedinim radovima tiskanim 50-ih godina, ali im se izravnije i sve češće vraća sredinom 60-ih godina kada svoj znanstveni interes usredotočuje na nakit bjelobrdske kulturne skupine 10.-12. stoljeća, na starohrvatsku arheološku baštinu 8.-10. stoljeća te ranokarolinške utjecaje na ranofeudalnu hrvatsku kneževinu 9. stoljeća. U tom smislu najviše ga je zanimalo naoružanje spomenutog razdoblja, posebice mačevi o kojima je počeo pisati sredinom 50-ih godina, ali su cjenjeniji radovi nastali i tiskani u zemlji i inozemstvu krajem 70-ih i tijekom 80-ih godina. Posljednji rad u svom velikom opusu arheoloških djela, prikaz kataloga i izložbe „I Goti“ (u pripremi od ratne 1991. godine), predstavljene u Palazzo Reale u Milanu početkom 1994. godine, Vinski je napisao i tiskao u Obavijestima Hrvatskog arheološkog društva te iste godine.

The first of them has been known for almost two hundred and thirty years (trom 1791 ), but only in 1912 was it recognized as a probable Ostrogothic coin, and it was definitely attributed to the Ostrogothic monetary system in the early 1970s. The second one appeared in 2011 at a Munich auction, where it achieved a very high price but despite that did not attract adequate professional and scientific attention. Both these semisses are connected by the use of the same obverse die, hence the time and purpose of their creation and minting are closely related and seemingly took place in the same (ji.scal) year. The reverse depictions, although both are from the Vota group, differ in numerous details, because of which it can be suggested that their differences, arrangement, and design marked the content of any possible numismatically interesting message.

According to them, during the first and second thirds of the 6th century, up to 567 or 568 in Sirmium, the administrative and economic center of the province eastern Pannonia Sirmiensis, this coinage had initially been minted by the Ostrogoths (Stefan), and subsequently by the Gepids (Brunšmid). From 1924 and 1925, when the above opinions were first introduced into numismatic circles, new thoughts and theories on this subject have only rarely and indeed only occasionally appeared, along with mere supplementation or refurbishment of the original ideas. Parallel with this, for decades, the number of published examples of coins minted in Sirmium only gradually increased. During the past twenty years though, it has increased greatly, with several hundred examples known today, primarily documented on the internet. The greatest profit from such a large number of coins was seen by the auction houses, followed by various theory-led numismatic typologies, while even today very little is known about the circulation of the Ostrogothic-Gepidic coinage from Sirmium. Today, they are known as the “Sirmium group”, but very little has actually been written about this. Hence on this occasion it would be useful in the light of several new/old finds to consider in more detail various problems and information about distribution and circulation of the “Sirmium group” coins.

Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald) in the southwestern part of the German state of Baden-Wurttenberg. In an early Merovingian grave (gr. 12), in addition to numerous other finds, in 1933 seven silver coins were discovered with a then rarely known provenience; today on the contrary well-known as the "Sirmium "group. Both then and today, this represented the only multiple find of coins of the "Sirmium "group from the period of Ostrogothic rule discovered during systematic archaeological excavations, and not in the original area of the minting and distribution of this coinage (Pannonia Sirmiensis) but rather in the considerably distant Frankish-Alammanic region. In his publication,
Werner supplemented his analysis and comparisons with excellent descriptions and photo documentation, because of which even today numismatic science is thanliful to him. This all enabled that the creation and minting of the silver coins discovered in grave 12 can be dated today to the period from AD 512, perhaps somewhat later when the earliest had been created and minted, to AD 520, when the latest coin from the Mengen find had been minted.

The attribution of the mint to the Ostrogoths and Gepids is still valid, and the increased interest in this issue in the recent period has been additionally highlighted by the very numerous examples that in the past fifteen years have regularly appeared at numismatic auctions throughout the world. Additionally, other than the official series issued by the Sirmium mint, this wealthy market also features examples of "irregular" emissions and copies from that period, joined here and there by more or less successfal modern counterfeits. As excellent corrective measures for establishing the authenticity of individual series, old museum acquisitions and.finds acquired through archaeological excavations are most suitable. Such examples, although very rare, are of great importance, and several are noted here, particularly one recently documented at Kamenica in Vinkovci, as it has advanced numismatic knowledge about the minting, series, and circulation, and most likely it will also advance archaeological knowledge, for which numismatics is most interesting when it can aid in the attribution and dating of finds and sites.

in 1919, a hoard was discovered of silver coins and
jewelry in a pottery vessel. Only in 1936 did the professional public hear about the find and its numismatic composition, while in 1961 certain information was provided about the jewelry it had also contained. Fate did not permit the hoard, although already damaged during its discovery, to be preserved in its entirety, as the jewelry and part of the coins disappeared in unknown
circumstances, while the remaining coins were
mixed in with similar coins from the same chronological
period. Luckily, some notes and drawings were
preserved, and hence it is possible to discuss and make
conclusions about this hoard, which contained silver
jewelry in addition to Croatian-Hungarian coins of the
14th and 15th centuries.

The excavations took place from Sept. 3 to Oct. 5 2012. The site was considered to be a cemetery that at first was thought to be medieval. Two trenches were opened in the excavations with a total area of ca. 155.5 m2. The existence was established of 25 graves, 22 of which were systematically excavated, while three graves remained unexcavated, as for the most part they were located beyond the boundaries of the excavated area of the cemetery. The graves produced relatively few archaeological finds, but nonetheless stood out in terms of the specific features of the grave architecture, which to date could very rarely be studied in detail, along with various characteristics of the burial rituals.

Heart-shaped (or leaf-shaped) pendants of silver sheet with almond-shaped or other hollows in the... more Heart-shaped (or leaf-shaped) pendants of silver sheet with almond-shaped or other hollows in the center represent an element of jewelry characteristic of the attire of the Early Hungarian settlers in the Pannonian region from the end of the 9th to after the middle of the 10th centuries. They were made to serve a double purpose: the examples discovered in female graves mostly served as decorations or as parts of an attire set for the head and chest, while those found by horse skeletons served as decorations on the chest section of horse harnesses; it is considered that both groups had connections to fertility cults. Examples of such early medieval decorative forms are very rare in the Pannonian regions south of the Mura, Drava, and Danube Rivers, and hence are additionally interesting archaeologically, but also historically. This as yet unpublished find of part of a female attire set for the head and chest, consisting of a temple-ring with a cast rod-like pendant of spaced spheres, a chain holder, a chain with dividing circlets, and heart-shaped pendants (3) — undoubtedly part of the inventory of some destroyed early medieval grave — is in the collection of the Medieval Department of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb. The probable site of its discovery is the area of the village of Surduk in the eastern part of Syrmia (Srijem) in the Republic of Serbia.
