The article discusses the findings of ancient Greek coins and their imitations in the area bounded by the Vistula (west), Prypiat (north), and Horynnia (east) rivers. That is, the lands of historical Volyn, which are now located in northwestern Ukraine and neighboring areas of Poland and Belarus: the territories of Volyn, Rivne, western Zhytomyr, northern Ternopil, Khmelnytsky, and Lviv regions of Ukraine, as well as the southern part of the Brest region of Belarus and the eastern part of the Lublin Voivodeship of Poland. The territory of Volyn in the second half of the first millennium BC was inhabited by representatives of separate ethnic groups belonging to different archaeological cultures, including the Thracian Halstat culture and the close Luzhytska culture, as well as the Milohrad culture and later latenized cultures, in particular, the Pomeranian-Kleshova culture.
The purpose of the article is to study and systematize the finds of ancient Greek coins and their imitations on the territory of Volyn and the adjacent lands and to introduce them into scientific circulation.
The article analyzes 46 ancient Greek coins and their imitations found on the territory of Volyn. All the information available to us is systematized and included in the catalog.
In Volyn, the largest number of coin finds are Eastern Celtic coins (21.74%). Coins of the Macedonian Kingdom are in second place (17.39%). Heto-Dacian imitations account for 13.04% of the coin finds.
The presence of a significant number of finds of Thracian and Macedonian coins indicates the connection of the Volyn lands with the Greek, Dacian, and Celtic worlds through the Amber Road, which connected the Baltic Sea with the Black and Adriatic Seas.
Keywords: coin find, hoard, coin, Volyn, Thrace, Macedonia, Black Sea, Baltic Sea, Adriatic Sea, Amber Road.

The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a set of general scientific and numismatic methods, which are primarily determined by the available source base and the assessment of its reliability or unreliability. Scientific novelty. Over the past decades, the number of known finds of ancient coins in settlements of the VI-I centuries BC in different regions of Ukraine, including Podillia, has increased significantly. However, there is no generalised comprehensive study of the finds of coins of the VI-I centuries BC from Podillia and its adjacent territories, which led the author to address the stated topic and write this article. The main results of the study. The analysis of the 118 ancient coins of the VI-I centuries BC found on the territory of Podillia allowed us to identify 7 points of concentration of such finds, including 4 settlements near which several single coins were found, and 3 settlements near which single coins and coins hoards found. A separate category among the corpus of Podillia coin finds is made up of 12 «demonetised» coins (11.65%), i.e. those decorated as ornaments. The presence of a corpus of finds of ancient coins of the VI-I centuries BC in Podillia, including finds of coin treasures, points of accumulation of single finds, especially locations with a combination of such finds and treasures, as well as the presence of «demonetised» coins among the coin finds, gave grounds for determining the probability of the existence of a commodity-money economy using coins as a means of payment in this historical region of Ukraine in the studied period. Although it is clear that these commodity-money relations were not as developed as in the Greek colonies of the Northern Black Sea and among the neighbouring Thracian tribes.
Based on the analysis of numismatic sources, the article proves that the North Black Sea trade in Podillia in the VI-I centuries BC was connected with Olbia, especially during the IV-III centuries BC. The southwestern vector of trade activity of the population of Podillia in the VI-I centuries BC was connected with the Thracian lands, from where not only coins of the Greek colonies of the Western Black Sea and Thracian coins came, but also partly coins of Macedonia. Most of the finds of Thracian and Macedonian coins are from the issues of the IV-III centuries BC.

The Ukrainian Numismatic Annual , 2018

Historiography has no consensus on the issuer of these coins. The researchers refer the coins to the emissaries of the Hungarian King Sigismund of Luxembourg, the representative of the Teutonic Order Nikolaus von Redwitz or even the ruler Dan II of Wallachia. The iconographic and metrological analysis of the coins, which was carried out in the article, enables making a number of conclusions and assumptions about the origin of the coins. The article shows that, on the coins of the Banate of Severin, a man’s figure with a crown on the head represents the image of the Hungarian king Vladislav I (1040-1095), canonized by the Catholic Church in 1192. The coins under consideration were minted by the person who was in the service of Sigismund of Luxemburg. It was during the times of this monarch in Hungary that there was practice of granting the right to coinage or income from the right of the coinage to persons who were in his service protecting the borders of the state from the Turks. The article proves that the presence of the Order sign (a cross in the shield) indicates the affiliation of the mint seigneur to the Teutonic Order, and the absence of its own coat of arms along with the Order sign indicates that this mint seigneur was not a personal vassal of Sigismund of Luxembourg and received the right of the coin regal only as the head of the Teutonic knights sent by the Grand Master to serve the Hungarian king. The combination of the Order sign and the crown points to the subordination of the mint seigneur – the representative of the Teutonic Order – to the crowned person. In this case this was the Hungarian King Sigismund of Luxembourg, and from 1433 – the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The image of the Order sign with the cross potent on the coins stamped at the time of the Banate of Severin by the Teutonic knights headed by Nikolaus von Redwitz, may indicate that they were minted with the help of the Teutonic mint-masters. Having identified the image of the coat of arms with the cross as the Order sign, the author believes that this side of the coin is its obverse, because it contains the symbol of the issuer – the sign of the Teutonic knights who were in the service of the Hungarian king. In addition to the iconographic analysis of the coins the author carried out a metrological, in particular, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the metal from which the coins were minted, using the precision analyzer Express 3L W108U. The metrological analysis of the coins of the Banate of Severin points out the inappropriateness of the use of the “denar” or “obol” denominations adopted in the historiography, since “denar”, as well as “obol”, which was a denar faction, was minted from silver. While the “obol” fraction is the “quarting”, as well as the coins of the Banate of Severin, it was made of billon and had corresponding weight characteristics. Therefore, the classification of the investigated type of coins presented in the article, gives grounds to assert that it was “quarting” (at least the so-called Wallachia type of coins) minted in the Banate of Severin during the period of stay of the group of representatives of the State of the Teutonic Order headed by Nikolaus von Redwitz. This type of coins is an interesting and insufficiently studied page of the late medieval numismatics and the history of coinage in the state of Sigismund of Luxembourg, including the Romanian historical lands.

Research paper thumbnail of THE FIND OF ANCIENT COINS IN THE TIASMYN RIVER BASIN FROM THE SIXTH TO THE FIRST CENTURY BC

The Ukrainian Numismatic Annual, 2021

Theoretical and methodological background of the investigation consists of the complexity of general scientific and numismatic methods which are, above all, determined by the existence of corpus of sources and its assessment of credibility or unreliability. Scientific novelty. The researchers of the history of the Dnieper Right Bank Forest-steppe of the first millennia BC divide in a separate group southern, border steppe territory, and the basin of the river Tiasmyn with adjacent territories within Kiev-Cherkassy region. The geographical scope of this group includes river Tiasmyn system in the present Cherkassy region and the territory where feeder from the headwaters of Tiasmyn are close to the right bank tributaries of the Southern Bug system (Hirskyi Tikych and Syniukha) and headwaters of Inhul and Inhulets in the northern part of the Kirovograd region. For the recent decades there can be observed a significant increasing in the number of the known coin finds of the state ancient Greek formations on the settlement of the sixth to the first century BC, which were found in the Tiasmyn river basin as well as overall in Dnieper-Right-Bank-Forest-steppe territory and including coins from the antique city-states of the Northern Black Sea region, such as Olbia, Panticapaeum, Chersonesus, Kerkinitis, Tyras and coins from other Ancient Greek city- states. Although generalized complex investigation of the coin finds of the sixth to the first century BC in the Tiasmyn river basin and surrounding areas are not present, which caused appealing of the author to this topic and writing the article. Main results of the research. The Population that had been living on the territory of the Dnieper Right Bank Forest-steppe, including Tiasmyn river basin from sixth to the first century BC had economic relations with Greece antique world including Olbia. This is evidenced by the significant amount of the numismatic sources in the occupation earth of the settlements. In this case it is presented by the coins from the ancient Greek state formations, which were lost by their owners.
The author had analysed 167 ancient coins, which were found in the Tiasmyn basin and had compiled a corresponding Сatalogue. Information about the finds of these coins located in diverse sources: museum collections, above mentioned researcher studies, evidence of area studies specialists, and materials on the forums of the treasure hunters. Analysing 167 coins finds from the sixth to the first century BC on the Tiasmyn river basin area it is possible to highlight 22 points of such coin finds concentration. There are 19 settlements where had been found more than 1 coin and 4 settlements were had been found monetary treasures nearby. All this gives grounds for suggestion that these coins were involved in goods-money relations of the local inhabitants with Greeks. It is conceivable that this level of relations was not developed to the degree that Greek colonies of in the Northern Black Sea region had. These finds indicate economic, including trade relations of the population from the Tiasmyn river basin with the ancient world, which had developed monetary circulation. Nearly 75 per cent constitute coins from Olbia. Coins are divided by the types and coinage periods for «Dolphins» (end of the sixth century beginning of the fourth century BC) they are 23 coins, «Reduced Asses» (c. 400-380 BC) are represented by 5 coins, «Chalk» (400-370 BC), «Dichalk» (380-360 BC), «Chalk» (360-350 BC) are represented by 11 coins, «Obol» with Demeter and city emblem (350-330 BC) account for 3 coins, 2 small coin with the head of Demeter (the end of the sixth century BC), «Borysthenes» (end of the sixth century – 20s of the third century BC) number 78 coins. Coins from Chersonesus constitute 4,19 per cent (4 coins of the fourth century BC, 2 coins of the beginning of the third century BC and 1 coin of the middle of the first century BC). Panticapaeum coins accounted for 2.99 per cent, all these coins are dated by the end of the sixth century BC. An insignificant number of Panticapaeum coins which were found in the Tiasmyn river basin in comparison with Olbian coins, call into thesis of some researchers that Olbia had lost its lead role in trade with barbarians in sixth century BC and it was being replaced with Bosporus. Even the coins from the Makedonia, that was located far from Dnieper-Right-Bank-Forest-steppe amount 3,59 per cent (all the coins of the sixth century BC). The electrum staters from the Cyzicus city of Asia Minor constitute a rather significant per cent of finds. They are estimated at 8.38 per cent and played a major role in Mediterranean and Black Sea trade. If to talk about the coins minted in the second century BC, it is known only find of coin by the ruler Bithynia Prusias I Cholus, that was found in the Tiasmyn river basin, it is consistent with the coins minted circa 228-182 BC, so the end of the third century- the beginning of the second century BC. However, the near absence among finds coins dated second century BCE can demonstrate the leading role of Olbia in trade with the barbarian population of the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe, including, in particular, trade with the population from the Tiasmyn river basin in the previous chronological period. In fact, Olbia got through the Skyro-Galatic Invasion in the end of the third century BC, and the second century BC was rather difficult period in political and economic life of this Greece colony in northern-west Black Sea region. Numismatical sources, specifically coin finds confirm thesis that relationships of Olbia with Barbarian tribes of Northern Black Sea region decreased to the minimum. Recovery of economic relations of ancient Greeks with population of the Tiasmyn river basin happened after the entry of Olbia and other Greek colonies of the Northern Black Sea region to Kingdom of Pontus of Mithridates Eupator, that was confirmed by coin finds. The perspective of further research. The problem has been raised by us is complex and multifaceted, it requires further research, and above all, to reveal information about other finds of antique coins in this and other regions of the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe in the period from the sixth to the first century BC.

The article focuses on the analysis of coin complex that included 19 antique (bronze) coins of Mithridates VI Eupator times and was discovered near the Sula River, between the villages of Brodok, Zasullia and urban-type settlement Nedryhailiv, Romny district, Sumy region in the summer of 2022. The Conclusion. After including of Greek apoikias of the Northern Black Sea region to the Pontus state of Mithridates VI Eupator times there appeared a significant number of copper Pontic coins in their money circulation, resulted in their spread in the Pontic Steppe region, particularly in Steppe and Forrest-Steppe zones of modern Ukraine. The detailed study of this monetary complex allowed the authors to compile its catalogue and systematize the coins according to the issue centres and the chronology of their minting. It has been determined that all 19 coins of the Pontic state of Mithridates VI Eupator from the coin hoard, which were found in the summer of 2022 near urban-type settlement Nedryhailiv, Romny district, Sumy region, constitute two consecutive groups of copper coins medium denomination B, minted in the cities of Amaseia, Amisos and Sinope.

It has been determined that coins of Ares/Sword type constitute 68,42% and coins of Aegina/Nika type comprise 31,58% in the hoard composition. Concerning the minting places of these coins, though coins from Amaseia account for 5,26%, Amisos amount 84,21% and Sinope comprise 10,53%.

The two classifications by F. Imhoof-Blumer and François de Callataÿ of the copper coins of Pontic State of times Mithridates VI Eupator have been analysed by the authors. It has been assumed, that Pontic coins of the medium denomination Ares/Sword type B were minted approximately in 110–100 BC, the type of Ares/Sword with letters IB were coined – in 100–90 BC, and the Aegis/Nika type were minted in 90–85 BC.

It has been proven that the find of this coin’s hoard of the Pontic State of Mithridates VI Eupator times on the territory of the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe, particularly in Romny district, Sumy region fully corresponds to the archaeological content of this region specifically archaeological finds of the materials of Zarubintsy culture and numismatic sources, which are known to the authors: coins of Scythian King Skilurus, which were minted in Olbia in 130–120 BC and Pontic coins. It has been highlighted that the coin finds of the 3rd-1st centuries BC on the territory of Sumy region are recorded not only in the Sula River basin and in the basins of the Seym and the Psel rivers.

The monetary complex studied in the article is an important source not only of the history of the settlement of Posullia at the end of the 2nd – the beginning of the 1st century BC and the connections of the population of this region with the antique Black Sea region, but also of the history of coinage in the Pontic state during the times of Mithridates VI Eupator.

The small copper coin of Apollo Gorytos type, which we found in one of the Ukrainian collections, has an alpha-shape monogram with broken gasta, to the right from Apollo’s head. This coin allows us to suggest a possible dating of these coins. We believe that coins with A (alpha) monogram could have been minted in 105 BC, in the year of Apollo in Olbia, that is, several years after the city became part of the Kingdom of Pontus.

Historiography contains references about the ancient Greek coins finds, mainly of the 6th – 5th centuries BC and coins of the Roman Empire in this region. At the same time there is no information about the finds of coins minted in the IV century BC. However, there are the finds of ancient Greek coins of the IV century BC, including quite rare ones in the area of Tiasmyn basin and in general on the territory of the Dnieper Right-Bank forest-steppe. Among the corpus of the ancient Greek coins on the territory of the basin of Tiasmyn, a special place is occupied by the coins from the Greek colony Olbia in the North-Western Black Sea region. The article is devoted to the review of finds, namely copper coins with the Demeter and the «Istrian» version of the city emblem in the basin of the Tiasmyn River. Researchers often define the denomination of this type of coins as «Obol». The first coin of this type was found near the village of Rozumivka in the Oleksandrivka district of the Kirovohrad region in 2019. And the second coin was found in Chyhyryn district of Cherkasy region in the spring of 2020. The historiography contains information about the names of coin magistrates, which were responsible for issuing this type of coins. The number of these names according to different investigators ranges from 14 to 20. However, this number of names should probably be larger. The first of the coins described in the article is well minted on both sides and has characteristic features of this type, which are related with the technology of minting. These features were described by P. Karyshkovsky, in particular, it is the presence of a clearly defined and deeply indented circular recess on the reverse.Exactly this technological feature of this type of coin allows us to identify the legends on the reverse clearly, because they are contained only within the boundaries of this recess. A detailed study of this coin using the MBS – 9 stereoscopic microscope allowed the author to maintain that the inscription АПОΛ is complete and there are no remains of other letters of this inscription on the coin. This is the first and so far the only coin with such different published in the article. It is known that a minor figure who had the name Ἀπολλωφάνης lived in the third quarter of the IV century BC in Olbia. The activity of this Olbiopolite chronologically coincides with one of the periods of minting of this type of coins defined by P. Karyshkovsky and V. Anokhin, so it is quite possible that he was the coin magistrate, at which the coin with the АПОΛ different was minted. Thus, data from onomastic and prosopography indicate that this type of copper coins with the Demeter and the «Istrian» version of the city emblem could have been minted in the third quarter of the IV century BC, and not earlier as it E. Turovsky suggests. The article notes that the combination of prosopographic and numismatic methods is a considerably promising direction of scientific research.The obols with the Demeter and the «Istrian» version of the city emblem, which are analyzed in the article, are the first coins of this type introduced into the scientific circulation; the coins were founded far beyond the Olbian Chora, which significantly expands the known topography of this type of the coin finds.The finds of the coins minted in the IV century BC in the Greek colony of Olbia in the Tiasmyn River basin on the territory of the Oleksandrivka district of Kirovohrad and Chyhyryn district of Cherkasy regions, demonstrate the existing connections of the population in the Tiasmyn River basin with the Greek cities of the North-Western Black Sea region in the specified chronological period. The finds of ancient Greek coins on the territory of the Dnieper Right-Bank forest-steppe, including in the area of the river basin Tiasmyn, refute the prevailing view in historiography that the inhabitants of the Middle Dnieper had exclusively commodity exchange operations with the Greek colonies in the Northern Black Sea region; and bronze coins, that accidentally and in small volumes fell to this region, could be used as raw materials for the manufacture of bronze objects.

Contacts between Byzantium and the Slavic world were mainly a commercial and military nature. Numismatic sources, in particular Byzantine coins and topographies of their finds in the region are one of the important sources of contacts between the inhabitants of the South of the Dnieper right-bank forest steppe and the Byzantine Empire. In this article, the authors continued their previous research concerning the study of coin finds in the Dnieper right-bank forest steppe and summarized the known reliable information about the findings of coins of the emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire in this region. The finds of Byzantine gold coins cannot clearly indicate the commercial nature of their origin. In this regard, the finds of copper Byzantine coins are more interesting and promising for study. The authors have compiled a "Catalog of Early Byzantine coins found on the territory of the Dnieper right-bank forest steppe ", which contains information about 56 coins of the emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire, which were found on this territory during the 19th - early 21st centuries. The presence of Byzantine silver coins with holes among the finds indicates their use as status ornaments or talismans of their owners. At the same time, the absence of holes on gold coins shows that they were used in trading operations, as well as a way of accumulation, that is they performed the main functions of money.

The findings of Pontic coins on the territory of the Right-Bank Middle Dnieper are analyzed. The purpose of the article is to study and systematize the findings of coins of the Mithridates Eupator Pontic state in the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe. The research methodology is based on general scientific and special numismatic methods, in particular, analysis, historicism, visual analysis, identification and typology of coins, mapping of coin finds with clear or relatively clear localization, iconographic. Comparative and chronological methods were also applied. The Scientific novelty. For the first time in historiography, a comprehensive study of coin finds on the territory of the Dnieper right-bank forest-steppe of the cities of Pontus and Paphlagonia during the time of Mithridates Eupator was carried out.The significant majority of the finds described in the article have been introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. Conclusions. The analysis of the finds of 26 coins of the Pontic state of Mithridates Eupator on the territory of the Dnieper right-bank forest-steppe allows us to single out three points of concentration of such finds, in particular city Kaniv, villages Moshny and Kumeiky. The discovery of three points on the territory of the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe with the accumulation of coins of the Pontic state of Mithridates Eupator, in our opinion, also suggests the functioning of these coins in commodity-money relations of the local population with the Greeks, although of course these relations were not Greek colonies of the Northern Black Sea coast. In our opinion, the discovery of three points of the coins accumulation on the territory of the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of the Pontic state of Mithridates Eupator also suggests the functioning of these coins in commodity-money relations of the local population with the Greeks, although it is clear that these relations were not as developed as in the Greek colonies of the northern Black Sea coast. The analysis of the typology of the Southern Black Sea region coins, discovered during the research of the Greek colonies in the Northern Black Sea region, and their comparison with the coin types, that were found in the Right Bank of the Middle Dnieper, shows that in the first half of the first century BC Olbia was the main trading partner for the inhabitants of this region, and that was the place, from where the coins of the Pontic state of Mithridates Eupator came to the Middle Dnieper.

During these years was marked the first stage of Hellenic period of Greek colonies in the northern Black Sea area, which was characterized by the revival of economic life, especially the development of trade with the local population and with the cities Greek cities and colonies. In recent years, there have been appeared publications by domestic and foreign scholars pointing to numerous finds of coins in the settlement of the Scythian period in the forest-steppe zone, even findings of coin hoards. Our article is dedicated to the find of a bronze coin minted in the Kerkinitis in the end of the fourth at the beginning of the third century BC in the Scythian settlement near the village Vyazivok, Horodyshche district, Cherkasy region in the upper part of the river Vilshanka in the fall of 2019.The find of the coin of Kerkinitis on a settlement of the Scythian period, that was located more than 600 km from the then Kerkinitis and 350 km from the ancient Greek colony of Olbia, may testify the spreading of northern Black Sea colonies’ coins to the Middle Dnieper in the first half of the fourth century BC. Besides, it can point to the connection between inhabitants of the forest-steppe zone with the Greeks from the northern Black Sea region.

Their value for numismatic studies is difficult to overestimate. Among the finds of ancient Greek coins in the territory of Ukraine a special place occupy cyzicenes. As far as, coins of the city of Kyzikos (Κύζικος) played an important role in the Mediterranean and Black Sea trade. The problem of electrum cyzicenes finds in Ukraine, especially in the Northern Black Sea and Middle Dnieper Ukraine region, is not new to the History science. It was studied by both well-known scientists and numismatists-amateurs during the XIX – early XXI centuries. One of the occasional and previously unpublished finds of cyzicenes, in the territory of modern Ukraine, is an electrum hecta of the first group of cyzicenes, its obverse depicts a tuna head with a thorn, that is introduced for scientific circulation in our article. It is the third find of early cyzicene coins emissions in the Olbia territory, which is known to the researchers. Unfortunately, this coin find has no archaeological context. And according to the information we were provided, it was a casual find from the middle of the1990s near the village Parutyne of the Ochakiv district, Mykolaiv region. We consider that the information about the coin find near the village Parutyne in the tract in the 90s of the XX century is authentic. Since the real heritage conservation appeared there only in the early 2000s with acquisition by the Historical-Archeological Reserve “Olbia” national status. And it is quite possible that an electrum hecta will be discovered in the area of the Wide Gully, as it is exactly on the place of the ancient settlement (perhaps, separate ancient estates) with a total area of about 20 hectares is located, and the archaeological material is dated by archaic and Hellenism.

In the Summer of 2019 fifteen bronze coins of Olbia (Greek polis in the North West Black Sea region) were found in the Kyiv region. All coins are of ‘Borysthenes’ type (head of river god Borysthenes / Scythian axe, bow in case, ΟΛΒΙΟ). An assemblage has been described by the founder as found in the ground between village Lukyanivka and the town Tarashcha (Kyiv region), near the highway P 04. The coins are dated to the end of fourth and the middle of the third century BC. The assemblage is one of interesting finds of Olbian coins on the way from the North Pontic Region to the West. The hoard from Lukyanivka is one of finds registered very far outside of Greek states of the northern coast of Black Sea. The cognitive value of the hoard lies above all in the region of its finding. The find from Lukyanivka is an important find as in recent years Olbian bronze coins as well as Bosporan coins were found on Celtic settlements in Poland (Upper Silesia; other coin finds were registered in Central Poland) and Czech Republic (Celtic oppidum at Nĕmčice, Moravia; a very rich assemblage of Greek and Roman coins). The find from Lukyanivka is a new important element in the discussion on inflow of Olbian coins to the West. The Lukyanivka hoard consists of 15 bronze coins with the head of river god Borysthenes, one of the most popular coins of Olbia. According to data obtained from the founder, the coins were found together in ‘one place’ but at ‘different depth’. In the founder’s opinion the value of the information on the find can’t be negated. Following to the chronology of ‘Borysthenes’ coins proposed by P.O. Karyshkovskii coins found not far from Lukyanivka should be dated from the late fourth century BC to the ca. 250 BC. The most coins are dated to 290-250 BC. The structure of the Lukyanivka hoard should be treated as ‘typical’ for hoards of Olbian coins.

hoards, which included the coins of the state of the Teutonic Order in Prussia, was recorded
on the territory of modern Khmelnytskyi, Rivne, Vinnytsia, Ternopil and Volyn regions.
These regions were formed on the territory the historical regions of Ukraine as Podillia
and Southeast Volyn. They played an important role in the international and regional trade
during the late Middle Ages. Their territories included shopping centres and trade routes
that linked West European markets with the East, and even the Levant.

The article discusses the findings of ancient Greek coins and their imitations in the area bounded by the Vistula (west), Prypiat (north), and Horynnia (east) rivers. That is, the lands of historical Volyn, which are now located in northwestern Ukraine and neighboring areas of Poland and Belarus: the territories of Volyn, Rivne, western Zhytomyr, northern Ternopil, Khmelnytsky, and Lviv regions of Ukraine, as well as the southern part of the Brest region of Belarus and the eastern part of the Lublin Voivodeship of Poland. The territory of Volyn in the second half of the first millennium BC was inhabited by representatives of separate ethnic groups belonging to different archaeological cultures, including the Thracian Halstat culture and the close Luzhytska culture, as well as the Milohrad culture and later latenized cultures, in particular, the Pomeranian-Kleshova culture.
The purpose of the article is to study and systematize the finds of ancient Greek coins and their imitations on the territory of Volyn and the adjacent lands and to introduce them into scientific circulation.
The article analyzes 46 ancient Greek coins and their imitations found on the territory of Volyn. All the information available to us is systematized and included in the catalog.
In Volyn, the largest number of coin finds are Eastern Celtic coins (21.74%). Coins of the Macedonian Kingdom are in second place (17.39%). Heto-Dacian imitations account for 13.04% of the coin finds.
The presence of a significant number of finds of Thracian and Macedonian coins indicates the connection of the Volyn lands with the Greek, Dacian, and Celtic worlds through the Amber Road, which connected the Baltic Sea with the Black and Adriatic Seas.

The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a set of general scientific and numismatic methods, which are primarily determined by the available source base and the assessment of its reliability or unreliability. Scientific novelty. Over the past decades, the number of known finds of ancient coins in settlements of the VI-I centuries BC in different regions of Ukraine, including Podillia, has increased significantly. However, there is no generalised comprehensive study of the finds of coins of the VI-I centuries BC from Podillia and its adjacent territories, which led the author to address the stated topic and write this article. The main results of the study. The analysis of the 118 ancient coins of the VI-I centuries BC found on the territory of Podillia allowed us to identify 7 points of concentration of such finds, including 4 settlements near which several single coins were found, and 3 settlements near which single coins and coins hoards found. A separate category among the corpus of Podillia coin finds is made up of 12 «demonetised» coins (11.65%), i.e. those decorated as ornaments. The presence of a corpus of finds of ancient coins of the VI-I centuries BC in Podillia, including finds of coin treasures, points of accumulation of single finds, especially locations with a combination of such finds and treasures, as well as the presence of «demonetised» coins among the coin finds, gave grounds for determining the probability of the existence of a commodity-money economy using coins as a means of payment in this historical region of Ukraine in the studied period. Although it is clear that these commodity-money relations were not as developed as in the Greek colonies of the Northern Black Sea and among the neighbouring Thracian tribes.
Based on the analysis of numismatic sources, the article proves that the North Black Sea trade in Podillia in the VI-I centuries BC was connected with Olbia, especially during the IV-III centuries BC. The southwestern vector of trade activity of the population of Podillia in the VI-I centuries BC was connected with the Thracian lands, from where not only coins of the Greek colonies of the Western Black Sea and Thracian coins came, but also partly coins of Macedonia. Most of the finds of Thracian and Macedonian coins are from the issues of the IV-III centuries BC.

The Ukrainian Numismatic Annual , 2018

Historiography has no consensus on the issuer of these coins. The researchers refer the coins to the emissaries of the Hungarian King Sigismund of Luxembourg, the representative of the Teutonic Order Nikolaus von Redwitz or even the ruler Dan II of Wallachia. The iconographic and metrological analysis of the coins, which was carried out in the article, enables making a number of conclusions and assumptions about the origin of the coins. The article shows that, on the coins of the Banate of Severin, a man’s figure with a crown on the head represents the image of the Hungarian king Vladislav I (1040-1095), canonized by the Catholic Church in 1192. The coins under consideration were minted by the person who was in the service of Sigismund of Luxemburg. It was during the times of this monarch in Hungary that there was practice of granting the right to coinage or income from the right of the coinage to persons who were in his service protecting the borders of the state from the Turks. The article proves that the presence of the Order sign (a cross in the shield) indicates the affiliation of the mint seigneur to the Teutonic Order, and the absence of its own coat of arms along with the Order sign indicates that this mint seigneur was not a personal vassal of Sigismund of Luxembourg and received the right of the coin regal only as the head of the Teutonic knights sent by the Grand Master to serve the Hungarian king. The combination of the Order sign and the crown points to the subordination of the mint seigneur – the representative of the Teutonic Order – to the crowned person. In this case this was the Hungarian King Sigismund of Luxembourg, and from 1433 – the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The image of the Order sign with the cross potent on the coins stamped at the time of the Banate of Severin by the Teutonic knights headed by Nikolaus von Redwitz, may indicate that they were minted with the help of the Teutonic mint-masters. Having identified the image of the coat of arms with the cross as the Order sign, the author believes that this side of the coin is its obverse, because it contains the symbol of the issuer – the sign of the Teutonic knights who were in the service of the Hungarian king. In addition to the iconographic analysis of the coins the author carried out a metrological, in particular, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the metal from which the coins were minted, using the precision analyzer Express 3L W108U. The metrological analysis of the coins of the Banate of Severin points out the inappropriateness of the use of the “denar” or “obol” denominations adopted in the historiography, since “denar”, as well as “obol”, which was a denar faction, was minted from silver. While the “obol” fraction is the “quarting”, as well as the coins of the Banate of Severin, it was made of billon and had corresponding weight characteristics. Therefore, the classification of the investigated type of coins presented in the article, gives grounds to assert that it was “quarting” (at least the so-called Wallachia type of coins) minted in the Banate of Severin during the period of stay of the group of representatives of the State of the Teutonic Order headed by Nikolaus von Redwitz. This type of coins is an interesting and insufficiently studied page of the late medieval numismatics and the history of coinage in the state of Sigismund of Luxembourg, including the Romanian historical lands.

Theoretical and methodological background of the investigation consists of the complexity of general scientific and numismatic methods which are, above all, determined by the existence of corpus of sources and its assessment of credibility or unreliability. Scientific novelty. The researchers of the history of the Dnieper Right Bank Forest-steppe of the first millennia BC divide in a separate group southern, border steppe territory, and the basin of the river Tiasmyn with adjacent territories within Kiev-Cherkassy region. The geographical scope of this group includes river Tiasmyn system in the present Cherkassy region and the territory where feeder from the headwaters of Tiasmyn are close to the right bank tributaries of the Southern Bug system (Hirskyi Tikych and Syniukha) and headwaters of Inhul and Inhulets in the northern part of the Kirovograd region. For the recent decades there can be observed a significant increasing in the number of the known coin finds of the state ancient Greek formations on the settlement of the sixth to the first century BC, which were found in the Tiasmyn river basin as well as overall in Dnieper-Right-Bank-Forest-steppe territory and including coins from the antique city-states of the Northern Black Sea region, such as Olbia, Panticapaeum, Chersonesus, Kerkinitis, Tyras and coins from other Ancient Greek city- states. Although generalized complex investigation of the coin finds of the sixth to the first century BC in the Tiasmyn river basin and surrounding areas are not present, which caused appealing of the author to this topic and writing the article. Main results of the research. The Population that had been living on the territory of the Dnieper Right Bank Forest-steppe, including Tiasmyn river basin from sixth to the first century BC had economic relations with Greece antique world including Olbia. This is evidenced by the significant amount of the numismatic sources in the occupation earth of the settlements. In this case it is presented by the coins from the ancient Greek state formations, which were lost by their owners.
The author had analysed 167 ancient coins, which were found in the Tiasmyn basin and had compiled a corresponding Сatalogue. Information about the finds of these coins located in diverse sources: museum collections, above mentioned researcher studies, evidence of area studies specialists, and materials on the forums of the treasure hunters. Analysing 167 coins finds from the sixth to the first century BC on the Tiasmyn river basin area it is possible to highlight 22 points of such coin finds concentration. There are 19 settlements where had been found more than 1 coin and 4 settlements were had been found monetary treasures nearby. All this gives grounds for suggestion that these coins were involved in goods-money relations of the local inhabitants with Greeks. It is conceivable that this level of relations was not developed to the degree that Greek colonies of in the Northern Black Sea region had. These finds indicate economic, including trade relations of the population from the Tiasmyn river basin with the ancient world, which had developed monetary circulation. Nearly 75 per cent constitute coins from Olbia. Coins are divided by the types and coinage periods for «Dolphins» (end of the sixth century beginning of the fourth century BC) they are 23 coins, «Reduced Asses» (c. 400-380 BC) are represented by 5 coins, «Chalk» (400-370 BC), «Dichalk» (380-360 BC), «Chalk» (360-350 BC) are represented by 11 coins, «Obol» with Demeter and city emblem (350-330 BC) account for 3 coins, 2 small coin with the head of Demeter (the end of the sixth century BC), «Borysthenes» (end of the sixth century – 20s of the third century BC) number 78 coins. Coins from Chersonesus constitute 4,19 per cent (4 coins of the fourth century BC, 2 coins of the beginning of the third century BC and 1 coin of the middle of the first century BC). Panticapaeum coins accounted for 2.99 per cent, all these coins are dated by the end of the sixth century BC. An insignificant number of Panticapaeum coins which were found in the Tiasmyn river basin in comparison with Olbian coins, call into thesis of some researchers that Olbia had lost its lead role in trade with barbarians in sixth century BC and it was being replaced with Bosporus. Even the coins from the Makedonia, that was located far from Dnieper-Right-Bank-Forest-steppe amount 3,59 per cent (all the coins of the sixth century BC). The electrum staters from the Cyzicus city of Asia Minor constitute a rather significant per cent of finds. They are estimated at 8.38 per cent and played a major role in Mediterranean and Black Sea trade. If to talk about the coins minted in the second century BC, it is known only find of coin by the ruler Bithynia Prusias I Cholus, that was found in the Tiasmyn river basin, it is consistent with the coins minted circa 228-182 BC, so the end of the third century- the beginning of the second century BC. However, the near absence among finds coins dated second century BCE can demonstrate the leading role of Olbia in trade with the barbarian population of the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe, including, in particular, trade with the population from the Tiasmyn river basin in the previous chronological period. In fact, Olbia got through the Skyro-Galatic Invasion in the end of the third century BC, and the second century BC was rather difficult period in political and economic life of this Greece colony in northern-west Black Sea region. Numismatical sources, specifically coin finds confirm thesis that relationships of Olbia with Barbarian tribes of Northern Black Sea region decreased to the minimum. Recovery of economic relations of ancient Greeks with population of the Tiasmyn river basin happened after the entry of Olbia and other Greek colonies of the Northern Black Sea region to Kingdom of Pontus of Mithridates Eupator, that was confirmed by coin finds. The perspective of further research. The problem has been raised by us is complex and multifaceted, it requires further research, and above all, to reveal information about other finds of antique coins in this and other regions of the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe in the period from the sixth to the first century BC.

The article focuses on the analysis of coin complex that included 19 antique (bronze) coins of Mithridates VI Eupator times and was discovered near the Sula River, between the villages of Brodok, Zasullia and urban-type settlement Nedryhailiv, Romny district, Sumy region in the summer of 2022. The Conclusion. After including of Greek apoikias of the Northern Black Sea region to the Pontus state of Mithridates VI Eupator times there appeared a significant number of copper Pontic coins in their money circulation, resulted in their spread in the Pontic Steppe region, particularly in Steppe and Forrest-Steppe zones of modern Ukraine. The detailed study of this monetary complex allowed the authors to compile its catalogue and systematize the coins according to the issue centres and the chronology of their minting. It has been determined that all 19 coins of the Pontic state of Mithridates VI Eupator from the coin hoard, which were found in the summer of 2022 near urban-type settlement Nedryhailiv, Romny district, Sumy region, constitute two consecutive groups of copper coins medium denomination B, minted in the cities of Amaseia, Amisos and Sinope.

It has been determined that coins of Ares/Sword type constitute 68,42% and coins of Aegina/Nika type comprise 31,58% in the hoard composition. Concerning the minting places of these coins, though coins from Amaseia account for 5,26%, Amisos amount 84,21% and Sinope comprise 10,53%.

The two classifications by F. Imhoof-Blumer and François de Callataÿ of the copper coins of Pontic State of times Mithridates VI Eupator have been analysed by the authors. It has been assumed, that Pontic coins of the medium denomination Ares/Sword type B were minted approximately in 110–100 BC, the type of Ares/Sword with letters IB were coined – in 100–90 BC, and the Aegis/Nika type were minted in 90–85 BC.

It has been proven that the find of this coin’s hoard of the Pontic State of Mithridates VI Eupator times on the territory of the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe, particularly in Romny district, Sumy region fully corresponds to the archaeological content of this region specifically archaeological finds of the materials of Zarubintsy culture and numismatic sources, which are known to the authors: coins of Scythian King Skilurus, which were minted in Olbia in 130–120 BC and Pontic coins. It has been highlighted that the coin finds of the 3rd-1st centuries BC on the territory of Sumy region are recorded not only in the Sula River basin and in the basins of the Seym and the Psel rivers.

The monetary complex studied in the article is an important source not only of the history of the settlement of Posullia at the end of the 2nd – the beginning of the 1st century BC and the connections of the population of this region with the antique Black Sea region, but also of the history of coinage in the Pontic state during the times of Mithridates VI Eupator.

The small copper coin of Apollo Gorytos type, which we found in one of the Ukrainian collections, has an alpha-shape monogram with broken gasta, to the right from Apollo’s head. This coin allows us to suggest a possible dating of these coins. We believe that coins with A (alpha) monogram could have been minted in 105 BC, in the year of Apollo in Olbia, that is, several years after the city became part of the Kingdom of Pontus.

Historiography contains references about the ancient Greek coins finds, mainly of the 6th – 5th centuries BC and coins of the Roman Empire in this region. At the same time there is no information about the finds of coins minted in the IV century BC. However, there are the finds of ancient Greek coins of the IV century BC, including quite rare ones in the area of Tiasmyn basin and in general on the territory of the Dnieper Right-Bank forest-steppe. Among the corpus of the ancient Greek coins on the territory of the basin of Tiasmyn, a special place is occupied by the coins from the Greek colony Olbia in the North-Western Black Sea region. The article is devoted to the review of finds, namely copper coins with the Demeter and the «Istrian» version of the city emblem in the basin of the Tiasmyn River. Researchers often define the denomination of this type of coins as «Obol». The first coin of this type was found near the village of Rozumivka in the Oleksandrivka district of the Kirovohrad region in 2019. And the second coin was found in Chyhyryn district of Cherkasy region in the spring of 2020. The historiography contains information about the names of coin magistrates, which were responsible for issuing this type of coins. The number of these names according to different investigators ranges from 14 to 20. However, this number of names should probably be larger. The first of the coins described in the article is well minted on both sides and has characteristic features of this type, which are related with the technology of minting. These features were described by P. Karyshkovsky, in particular, it is the presence of a clearly defined and deeply indented circular recess on the reverse.Exactly this technological feature of this type of coin allows us to identify the legends on the reverse clearly, because they are contained only within the boundaries of this recess. A detailed study of this coin using the MBS – 9 stereoscopic microscope allowed the author to maintain that the inscription АПОΛ is complete and there are no remains of other letters of this inscription on the coin. This is the first and so far the only coin with such different published in the article. It is known that a minor figure who had the name Ἀπολλωφάνης lived in the third quarter of the IV century BC in Olbia. The activity of this Olbiopolite chronologically coincides with one of the periods of minting of this type of coins defined by P. Karyshkovsky and V. Anokhin, so it is quite possible that he was the coin magistrate, at which the coin with the АПОΛ different was minted. Thus, data from onomastic and prosopography indicate that this type of copper coins with the Demeter and the «Istrian» version of the city emblem could have been minted in the third quarter of the IV century BC, and not earlier as it E. Turovsky suggests. The article notes that the combination of prosopographic and numismatic methods is a considerably promising direction of scientific research.The obols with the Demeter and the «Istrian» version of the city emblem, which are analyzed in the article, are the first coins of this type introduced into the scientific circulation; the coins were founded far beyond the Olbian Chora, which significantly expands the known topography of this type of the coin finds.The finds of the coins minted in the IV century BC in the Greek colony of Olbia in the Tiasmyn River basin on the territory of the Oleksandrivka district of Kirovohrad and Chyhyryn district of Cherkasy regions, demonstrate the existing connections of the population in the Tiasmyn River basin with the Greek cities of the North-Western Black Sea region in the specified chronological period. The finds of ancient Greek coins on the territory of the Dnieper Right-Bank forest-steppe, including in the area of the river basin Tiasmyn, refute the prevailing view in historiography that the inhabitants of the Middle Dnieper had exclusively commodity exchange operations with the Greek colonies in the Northern Black Sea region; and bronze coins, that accidentally and in small volumes fell to this region, could be used as raw materials for the manufacture of bronze objects.

Contacts between Byzantium and the Slavic world were mainly a commercial and military nature. Numismatic sources, in particular Byzantine coins and topographies of their finds in the region are one of the important sources of contacts between the inhabitants of the South of the Dnieper right-bank forest steppe and the Byzantine Empire. In this article, the authors continued their previous research concerning the study of coin finds in the Dnieper right-bank forest steppe and summarized the known reliable information about the findings of coins of the emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire in this region. The finds of Byzantine gold coins cannot clearly indicate the commercial nature of their origin. In this regard, the finds of copper Byzantine coins are more interesting and promising for study. The authors have compiled a "Catalog of Early Byzantine coins found on the territory of the Dnieper right-bank forest steppe ", which contains information about 56 coins of the emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire, which were found on this territory during the 19th - early 21st centuries. The presence of Byzantine silver coins with holes among the finds indicates their use as status ornaments or talismans of their owners. At the same time, the absence of holes on gold coins shows that they were used in trading operations, as well as a way of accumulation, that is they performed the main functions of money.
Key words: Eastern Roman Empire, Byzantium, Dnieper right-bank forest steppe, Slavic tribes, trade, coin finds, follis, solid, hexagram, miliarense.

The findings of Pontic coins on the territory of the Right-Bank Middle Dnieper are analyzed. The purpose of the article is to study and systematize the findings of coins of the Mithridates Eupator Pontic state in the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe. The research methodology is based on general scientific and special numismatic methods, in particular, analysis, historicism, visual analysis, identification and typology of coins, mapping of coin finds with clear or relatively clear localization, iconographic. Comparative and chronological methods were also applied. The Scientific novelty. For the first time in historiography, a comprehensive study of coin finds on the territory of the Dnieper right-bank forest-steppe of the cities of Pontus and Paphlagonia during the time of Mithridates Eupator was carried out.The significant majority of the finds described in the article have been introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. Conclusions. The analysis of the finds of 26 coins of the Pontic state of Mithridates Eupator on the territory of the Dnieper right-bank forest-steppe allows us to single out three points of concentration of such finds, in particular city Kaniv, villages Moshny and Kumeiky. The discovery of three points on the territory of the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe with the accumulation of coins of the Pontic state of Mithridates Eupator, in our opinion, also suggests the functioning of these coins in commodity-money relations of the local population with the Greeks, although of course these relations were not Greek colonies of the Northern Black Sea coast. In our opinion, the discovery of three points of the coins accumulation on the territory of the Dnieper Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of the Pontic state of Mithridates Eupator also suggests the functioning of these coins in commodity-money relations of the local population with the Greeks, although it is clear that these relations were not as developed as in the Greek colonies of the northern Black Sea coast. The analysis of the typology of the Southern Black Sea region coins, discovered during the research of the Greek colonies in the Northern Black Sea region, and their comparison with the coin types, that were found in the Right Bank of the Middle Dnieper, shows that in the first half of the first century BC Olbia was the main trading partner for the inhabitants of this region, and that was the place, from where the coins of the Pontic state of Mithridates Eupator came to the Middle Dnieper.

During these years was marked the first stage of Hellenic period of Greek colonies in the northern Black Sea area, which was characterized by the revival of economic life, especially the development of trade with the local population and with the cities Greek cities and colonies. In recent years, there have been appeared publications by domestic and foreign scholars pointing to numerous finds of coins in the settlement of the Scythian period in the forest-steppe zone, even findings of coin hoards. Our article is dedicated to the find of a bronze coin minted in the Kerkinitis in the end of the fourth at the beginning of the third century BC in the Scythian settlement near the village Vyazivok, Horodyshche district, Cherkasy region in the upper part of the river Vilshanka in the fall of 2019.The find of the coin of Kerkinitis on a settlement of the Scythian period, that was located more than 600 km from the then Kerkinitis and 350 km from the ancient Greek colony of Olbia, may testify the spreading of northern Black Sea colonies’ coins to the Middle Dnieper in the first half of the fourth century BC. Besides, it can point to the connection between inhabitants of the forest-steppe zone with the Greeks from the northern Black Sea region.

Their value for numismatic studies is difficult to overestimate. Among the finds of ancient Greek coins in the territory of Ukraine a special place occupy cyzicenes. As far as, coins of the city of Kyzikos (Κύζικος) played an important role in the Mediterranean and Black Sea trade. The problem of electrum cyzicenes finds in Ukraine, especially in the Northern Black Sea and Middle Dnieper Ukraine region, is not new to the History science. It was studied by both well-known scientists and numismatists-amateurs during the XIX – early XXI centuries. One of the occasional and previously unpublished finds of cyzicenes, in the territory of modern Ukraine, is an electrum hecta of the first group of cyzicenes, its obverse depicts a tuna head with a thorn, that is introduced for scientific circulation in our article. It is the third find of early cyzicene coins emissions in the Olbia territory, which is known to the researchers. Unfortunately, this coin find has no archaeological context. And according to the information we were provided, it was a casual find from the middle of the1990s near the village Parutyne of the Ochakiv district, Mykolaiv region. We consider that the information about the coin find near the village Parutyne in the tract in the 90s of the XX century is authentic. Since the real heritage conservation appeared there only in the early 2000s with acquisition by the Historical-Archeological Reserve “Olbia” national status. And it is quite possible that an electrum hecta will be discovered in the area of the Wide Gully, as it is exactly on the place of the ancient settlement (perhaps, separate ancient estates) with a total area of about 20 hectares is located, and the archaeological material is dated by archaic and Hellenism.

The aim of the study is presentation of a new hoard of ancient coins discovered in the Ukraine. ... more The aim of the study is presentation of a new hoard of ancient coins discovered in the Ukraine. In the Summer of 2019 fifteen bronze coins of Olbia (Greek polis in the North West Black Sea region) were found in the Kyiv region. All coins are of ‘Borysthenes’ type (head of river god Borysthenes / Scythian axe, bow in case, ΟΛΒΙΟ). An assemblage has been described by the founder as found in the ground between village Lukyanivka and the town Tarashcha (Kyiv region), near the highway P 04. The coins are dated to the end of fourth and the middle of the third century BC. The assemblage is one of interesting finds of Olbian coins on the way from the North Pontic Region to the West. The hoard from Lukyanivka is one of finds registered very far outside of Greek states of the northern coast of Black Sea. The cognitive value of the hoard lies above all in the region of its finding. The find from Lukyanivka is an important find as in recent years Olbian bronze coins as well as Bosporan coins were found on Celtic settlements in Poland (Upper Silesia; other coin finds were registered in Central Poland) and Czech Republic (Celtic oppidum at Nĕmčice, Moravia; a very rich assemblage of Greek and Roman coins). The find from Lukyanivka is a new important element in the discussion on inflow of Olbian coins to the West. The Lukyanivka hoard consists of 15 bronze coins with the head of river god Borysthenes, one of the most popular coins of Olbia. According to data obtained from the founder, the coins were found together in ‘one place’ but at ‘different depth’. In the founder’s opinion the value of the information on the find can’t be negated. Following to the chronology of ‘Borysthenes’ coins proposed by P.O. Karyshkovskii coins found not far from Lukyanivka should be dated from the late fourth century BC to the ca. 250 BC. The most coins are dated to 290-250 BC. The structure of the Lukyanivka hoard should be treated as ‘typical’ for hoards of Olbian coins.

In recent years, instead of the already existing traditional and familiar to historiography problems of socio-economic history of the peasantry, the attention of researchers is focused on the problems of Alltagsgeschichte, which stand out in an independent direction of historical research. One of the components of the daily life of the peasantry, as well as other segments of the population, is the use of money or their natural equivalents. Our article is devoted to the study of such a complex socio-economic problem of everyday life as the value of the then household and everyday life of the peasants in the monetary equivalent.
Purpose. The purpose of this study is to investigate the monetary dimension of the economy of the peasants of the Right - Bank of the Middle Dnieper, in particular Cherkasy povit of Kyiv province in the middle of the 19th century in the context of Alltagsgeschichte.
Originality. For the first time in the context of the history of Alltagsgeschichte, the monetary dimension of the economy of the peasants of the Right - Bank of the Middle Dnieper region is investigated, the possibility of access to the funds of this category of the population in the era under study is analyzed.
Conclusion. It was proved that the peasants had a vital need to earn money, without which it was impossible to organize and establish their own economy. Usually, researchers bypass the issue of the attitude of the then society to money, highlighting the problems of spirituality or the economy and everyday life. Researchers mostly ignore the fact that behind cold figures, which reflect the value of property or economy, prices for housing, food, tools, livestock, wages, and other hide out fate of people who tried not only to survive in the realities of their era, but also planned and built their own destiny. And it was for the survival and implementation of such plans that a person needed money. The peasant really had to work for several years and try to accumulate the necessary minimum of money in order to create his own, even a poor farm. It is difficult to imagine, that a person who is trying to earn money to arrange his own life, does not think about money, about hard work for their sake, and some thought even about illegal ways of getting rich. In general, the problem raised in our article, regarding the monetary dimension of the economy of the peasants of the Right - Bank of the Middle Dnieper region in the third quarter of the 19th century in the context of the history of Alltagsgeschichte, is quite complex and requires further comprehensive research, especially in relation to the then society towards money and ways of accumulating it.

To carry out the analysis of the basic theoretical-methodological and sourcestudying problems of the economic history of Ukraine, in particular: determination of the problem of informativeness, representativeness; the reliability of the source database; scientific critique of large arrays of sources and peculiarities of using the whole range of historical sources in the study of economic history of Ukraine problems in different historical epochs, as well as the possibilities of involving scientific tools of other sciences to solve certain research problems. Methods of specific scientific activity, methods of empirical research and general logical methods were used in the article. Main results. The article describes the main theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of the economic history of Ukraine. It was noted the contradictions of the process of development of economic history in Ukraine in particular, the lack of proper scientific cooperation between historians and economists. Also, it was emphasized, that the institutionalization of the economic history of Ukraine and the complex interdisciplinary approach to the methodology of studying problems of the economic history thanks to the borrowing of theories and methods from other sciences, make it possible to achieve a specific goal and research objectives and allow gaining new knowledge. The most informative sources for different periods of economic history of Ukraine were identified and the theoretical-methodological problems of their use were analyzed. Conclusions. The analysis of the main theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of the economic history of Ukraine, conducted in the article, showed the necessity of a complex and interdisciplinary nature of the choice of both methodological approaches and actually, the choice of the source base for such researches. An important paradigm of scientific studies in economic history is the use by researchers the full range of sources, which are typical to different historical periods and the choice of appropriate methodological basis, which allows to determine the informativeness, representativeness, reliability of the source base, to conduct scientific critique of large arrays of sources, and, most importantly, allow to solve set by researcher specific scientific tasks. The modern development of scientific studies in the economic history of Ukraine requires their institutionalization and development of theoretical and methodological approaches to the whole complex of problems and challenges, that facing scientists. The institutionalization of the economic history of the Ukraine should ensure the cooperation of scientists working on its various components and it also allows involving specialists from other fields of knowledge to the implementation of research projects. We fully support the thesis that economic history should serve as a "meeting place" for specialists in various sciences, especially historians, economists and lawyers. It is this scientific cooperation of economists and historians, as well as experts in statistics, materials science, cartography, physical and historical geography, and their methodological tools, that will enhance such research and enable new knowledge to be acquired. Unfortunately, usage of methods and techniques from other sciences by historians not always leads to objective research results. The practical significance of the article lies in the possibility of using the main of the basic theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of the economic history of Ukraine in own studies, in particular concerning the choice of the sources base for researches and the methodology of its analysis. Originality. Many years of experience in own scientific researches in the field of economic history, especially the history of finance, as well as the analysis of many works on this issue, allows the authors of the article to focus attention on the most complex theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of the economic history of Ukraine. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the basic theoretical-methodological and source-studying problems of different periods in economic history. Type of the article: methodological.

The tax policy of Russian Empire’s government at the end of the 18 century – in the middle of the 19 century was first in the historiography fully investigated in this dissertation. The systems and comparative analyses of this policy in different regions of Russian Empire were done. The main attention was paid to Poltava, Chernihiv, Slobozhanschina (Kharkiv), Volyn, Kyiv, Podillya, Katerunoslav, Kherson and Tavria provinces, and a historical and comparative analysis with the regions of Byelorussia and Baltic were also held.
The origins, the principles of administration and the main factors of the influence on the policy of Romanov Empire’s government in taxation were explicated. The common and different in taxation of “Great Russian” and “suburban” provinces were shown. It was proved, that the tax policy of Russian autocracy in the Ukrainian provinces as in the Empire in whole had some regional peculiarities. So, in Slobozhanschina and in Livoberezhzhi it essentially differed from other regions of Ukraine by the availability of the special groups of people – as military citizens and Cossacks. It was established that the rates of the poll tax were the same for the state, and the rates of the tax were determined by social classes. It was shown, that the charge of the tax obligation according to the number of the revision persons without the inclusion of the demographic changes continued the phenomenon of “Dead Souls”, when it was necessary to pay taxes for dead people between the revisions by the communities and landowners. It was proved that the taxation of the trade and industrial population of the towns was more progressive – the tradesmen who were united into the guilds. The considerable attention was paid to the guild reform by E. Kankrin (1824) which had the positive consequences for agrarian Russian Empire in the development of the cities, trade and industry. It was established that the tax policy of Russian Empire was determined not only by the social class approach, there was the taxation by the religious stripe and ethnic origin. The author made the systematic and comparative analyses of the taxation of Jewry, Crimean Tatars and foreign colonists.
It was fixed that the most important moment in the fiscal relations among the indirect tax and fees in Romanov Empire was the drinkable income (the manufacture taxation and alcohol trade); and the distillation was one of the most developed industry. If in Russian provinces there was a payment system of tax collection of the alcohol, in Ukrainian provinces there was a partial free sale of the spirit with a specific system of its taxation that aroused the considerable difficulties in its administration for the leading structures.
It was fixed that in the pre-reform period the taxation was least ordering by the structural taxation system of Romanov Power in spite of all authority’s attempts and it served as a hotbed of various functionaries’ abuses of local imperial and elective administrations. It was pointed that the town taxation and fees from the times of Rich Pospoluta continued to exist in cities and towns in Ukrainian and Russian provinces even in the 40 ths of the 19 centuries.
It was proved, that all components of Russian fiscal policy acted uncoordinated, asynchronously as in Ukrainian provinces so as in whole Empire, that is there was any united system of the state actions in this sphere. Partial and mainly local actions of central and regional leading structures as to the optimization of tax policy of Russian Empire couldn’t solve all these problems. Tax system required the urgent complex reformation that can be started only after the liquidation the basis of the feudal system – serfage – and the refusal from the poll tax system that was in the base of the national and local taxation.
Key words: taxation policy, Russian Empire, government, governmental institution, state finances, taxes, fees, tax position, tax rate, province, region.

Research paper thumbnail of Василь Орлик До питання методології досліджень проблем економічної історії Російської імперії

Серед складного комплексу питань, що стосуються Російської імпе-рії, особливе місце належить проблемам, пов'язаним із фіскальною політикою двору Романових, взаємовідносинам у царині державних доходів між різними верствами населення та центральною і місцевою владою. Найбільш складним для дослідників є період кінця XVIII — середини ХІХ ст. За визначенням видатного українського історика І. Гуржія, корінні зміни, що відбувалися в той час в економіці країни, «були наслідком гострої боротьби між старою, що віджила свій вік, феодально-кріпосницькою системою і новим, капіталістичним укладом» [1, 49]. Наукове пізнання проблем економічної історії не зводиться до опису фактів і подій історичного минулого, воно передбачає концептуальне й теоре-тичне їх осмислення, що вимагає використання багатьох наукових методів піз-нання. Тому однією з найважливіших проблем дослідження економічної історії є її методологія. В останній час, як указує член-кореспондент НАН України О. Реєнт, «методологічна криза, яка виявляється спочатку в різкій відмові від жорстких шаблонів істмату, розгубленості й тимчасовій втраті орієнтирів, а потім переходить у стадію методологічної поліфонічності, означає вихід на принципово новий рівень наукової технології» [2, 15]. На наше переконання, методологія сучасних досліджень повинна ґрунтуватися на сукупності прин-ципів і методів, що застосовуються в конкретному науковому дослідженні для вирішення поставлених завдань. Під час дослідження історії економічної полі-тики необхідно відмовитися від визнання імперативною тільки матеріальну час-тину людського буття, адже вона формувалася під впливом декількох домі-нуючих факторів. У податковій політиці Російської імперії яскравим прикладом цього є відношення до євреїв, котрі з одного боку були реально переобтяжені різноманітними податями й зборами, проте при прийнятті ними християнства отримували значні фінансові преференції від влади, котра в цьому випадку відкидала будь-які фіскальні міркування. Аналізуючи різні напрямки економічної політики держави, в тому числі й фіскальну необхідно враховувати й цілий ряд аспектів. Основними підходами до проблем її вивчення мають стати ряд спеціальних історичних методів та залу-чення юридичних і економічних, що дасть змогу комплексно провести запла-новане дослідження у якому необхідно звернути особливу увагу на акторах цієї
