It consists of 1655 denarii and antoniniani, spanning the period from Vespasian to Trajan Decius. Numerous archaeological sites from the Roman period have been registered on the southern side of the Jastrebac massif and in the Toplica region, while the remains of a villa rustica to the south of the Klisurica village are the most important regarding our find. One of the most important central Balkan routes, the Lissus -Naissus -Ratiaria, which connected the Adriatic and the Black seas, used to pass this way. Considering the position of the site and conditions in the surrounding area, the owners of the villa and its inhabitants were undoubtedly farmers and cattle breeders, and were most probably the owners of the coin hoard.

contains 106 denarii, 366 antoniniani, eight pieces of silver jewellery and one silver chain with heart-shaped pendants. It was discovered in 1950 at the earliest, under unknown circumstances, and was purchased for the National Museum in several instances so we cannot exclude the possibility of the find being a partly scattered one. The monetary part of the find covers the period from Septimius Severus (195 AD) to the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus (254 AD). It belongs to a wellknown horizon of hoards, which were registered in north-eastern Dalmatia, both the Pannonias and in Upper Moesia.

Од овог броја 96 се налази у нумизматичкој збирци Народног музеја у Београду, док 31 монета потиче са археолошких ископавања у Виминацијуму.
The paper analyses 127 specimens of coinage of the cities of the Macedonian Fed¬eration (Macedonian Koinon) spanning the period from Claudius I to Philip I. Of these, 96 are part of the numismatic collection of the National Museum in Belgrade, while 31 denominations originate from archaeological excavations in Viminacium.
Although we do not possess data about the place of discovery for the majority of analysed specimens, the publishing of 127 pieces of Macedonian Koinon greatly contributes to the studying of this type of provincial issue in the territory of the Balkan provinces.

Of the total number of specimens that were available for processing (6,233) 1,100 belonged to provincial coinage. From the Stobi mint came 72 bronze coins, which include coins struck in the names of Titus and Domitian - joint issue striking under Vespasian (1), Trajan (1), Septimius Severus (13), Julia Domna (18), Caracalla (37) and Geta (2).

to the south of Paraćin. It consists of 240 denarii and 52 antoniniani and is part of a scattered find, which did not reach the National Museum in Belgrade in its entirety. The oldest specimen is Vespasian’s denarius from 70 AD, and the latest is the antoninianus of Philip I from the eighth issue of the Rome mint, dated in 248-249, so this date represents the terminus post quem of the Sikirica I find. Two analogous finds have been identified in the territory of Moesia Superior: in the Kalemegdan (Belgrade) and in Kremenica near Bela Palanka, known as Remesiana
in Antiquity. Despite the incomplete archaeological finds from the field, we may assume that agricultural holdings existed in the areal of the Sikirica village and that the find represented the savings of the owner of the villa. As for the cause for its concealment, the predominant view is that the barbarian raids in the neighbouring provinces had not directly contributed to it. The real reasons for depositing the Sikirica I hoard should be viewed most probably as the consequence of usurpations
and the emerging imperial pretenders, causing internal turmoil the centre of which was the Danube River basin.
