Neue Münzfunde, die galienuszeitliche Bronzeprägungen der kleinasiatischen Stadt Alexandria Troas
imitieren, sind wichtig für das Verständnis der Herstellungstechnologie der frühesten barbarischen Nachahmungen in Gold. Es handelt sich um drei Münzen: zwei Imitate von Gallienus‑Münzen mit der Darstellung der die Zwillinge fütternden Wölfin auf dem Revers (Fund aus der Gegend um die Stadt Ilˈincy, Bezirk Vinnica) sowie einem Adler, der auf Kopf und Hals eines Stieres sitzt (Fund nahe der Ortschaft Lesovody, Bezirk Chmelˈnicky) und das Imitat einer Kleinbronze mit Darstellung des Tichon auf dem Avers und einer stehenden Krähe auf dem
Revers (gefunden im Bezirk Vinnica). Nicht minder wichtig ist die Publikation eines kleinen Hortfundes, der im Kreis Lipovecˈ, Bezirk Vinnica, entdeckt wurde und sich aus sechs goldplattierten einfachgestempelten barbarischen Nachahmungen zusammensetzt, die einen Aureus des Alexander Severus aus dem Jahr 232 (RIC 245) imitieren. Als einzigartig kann der Funde einer Patrize im Kreis
Jarmolincy, Bezirk Chmelˈnicky, bezeichnet werden, bei der zur Herstellung des Revers-Stempels die barbarische Nachahmung des Typs mit galoppierendem Reiter verwendet wurde. Funde von Nachahmungen mit diesem Revers sind auf dem Gebiet der Ukraine bekannt.

They represent elements of personal equipment of Germanic warriors forming the troop, after a defeat in battle cast by the victors into the lake during one day in the early 3rd century. There are 194 denarii, Nero to Commodus, four barbarous imitation denarii and a sestertius of Antoninus Pius.
Denarii left the territory of the Roman Empire during the final years of Commodus, as a result of subsidies paid to superiores barbari. In effect of long-distance relationships maintained by elites within Barbaricum, a larger group of denarii subsequently
passed to the leader of a troop and next shared out among the warriors. Most of coins had been kept in pouches. The principal use of coins was as a source of metal for making, decorating or repairing elements of equipment. Barbarous imitations struck
from an identical pair of dies were produced not later than times of Septimius Severus, probably by a craftsman-warrior, member of a troop. Presented observations concerning material from Illerup have more universal character.

and Ukraine, territory of Gothic Culture settlement, we have
records of a great many aurei of Trajan Decius and his immediate
predecessors (Fig. 1). The early years of the 21st century have
witnessed a considerable increase in these finds, the result of
widespread amateur metal detector use. In contrast, elsewhere
in Barbaricum the same issues are very seldom recorded. All the
aurei are pierced above the head of the emperor (Fig. 4; 5) and
some were deliberately chopped into fragments prior to deposition
(Fig. 1; 2). This treatment of gold coins is not noted elsewhere
in Barbaricum or within the Roman Empire. The coins described
here are quite certain to be the remains of plunder taken
by Goths after their defeat of the Romans at Abritus in AD. 251.
It is very likely that the entire imperial treasury was captured by
the Gothic troops. This is because the Augustus himself and his
son, Herennius Etruscus, were killed in that battle. The capture
of so many tonnes of gold by the barbarians may be the direct
cause of the deterioration in the quality of the aureus under the
successors of Trajan Decius. The chopping of the coins into fragments
prior to their deposition, that is, a de facto destruction of
the enemy’s portrait and annihilation of his power, shows that
they must have been a part of the plunder. The destruction of
booty taken from defeated enemies is a typically Germanic custom,
attested also by the bog deposits of northern Europe.
