INTRODUCTION

NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHING

COUNCIL

Since its fi rst issue CCCHBulg. has been

the collective work of I. Prokopov, Sv.

Filipova and E. Paunov. Each of the volumes in the

series also has a guest author from the correspon-

dent museum whose fi nds have been described.

In that way co-authors of the series have become

our colleagues from diff erent Regional History

Museums on the territory of Bulgaria – Radoslav

Gushterakliev - town of Lovech; Georgi Dzanev

– town of Razgrad; Nikolay Boyadzhiev – town

of Smolyan; Margarita Andonova – town of Bla-

goevgrad and Alena Tenchova. Th is volume is the

fi rst one that our colleague E. Paunov does not

participate in as he has decided to stop work on

that project. All members of the publishing hoard

thank him for the fruitful collaboration and wish

him success in his future endeavours.

Th e present publication is the fi ft h volume in

the series dedicated to the numismatic collections

of the regional and municipality museums on the

territory of Republic of Bulgaria. Till now partial-

ly or fully have been published the collections of

the Historical Museum Lovech (anc. Melta) and

the Historical Museum Razgrad (anc. Abritus)1,

the Regional Historical Museum at Kyustendil

(anc. Pautalia)2, the Regional Historical Museum

at Smolyan3 and the Regional Historical Museum

at Blagoevgrad (anc. Skaptopara)4. Th e procedure

established by the author collective determines

as research object coins dated in the period VI c.

BC– early VII c. AD. Th is allows encompassing of

the main types of ancient coins that comprise the

monetary circulation on the territory of modern

Bulgaria. Pazardzhik region occupies a special

place in the ancient trade and cultural relation-

ships and its location has impacted the specifi cs

of coin circulation as well. Th is is the place where

two of the most important roads to Aegean Sea

region merge their way. One of them is direct by

land and connects Pazardzhik region with the

economically and fi nancially important Th asos

Island. Th e other one is the waterway through the

navigable at the time Maritsa river (anc. Hebros).

Th e publication also presents in its totality one

of the most notable coin treasures representative

of the Hellenistic period found in the village of

Chernogorovo. Th e treasure itself has been found

in a bronze vessel and is preserved in its entirety.

Its research will help the process of establishing

the role that the Athenian tetradrachms played in

the so called New Style coin circulation in Th race.

Yet another notable museum asset that is worth

mentioning are the coin hoards of Celtic imita-

tion of Macedonian bronze coins. Till the present

moment similar fi nds have not been registered

outside regions situated along river banks and es-

pecially in Gotse Delchev area and the territories 1 Prokopov, I., R. Gushterakliev. Coin Collections and

of its surrounding municipalities. Th e collection

of the Regional Historical Museum at Pazardzhik

also presents a wide variety of Roman coins from

diff erent provinces that exceed considerably the

usual and well studied coins from the region. Th e

coin treasure from “Sveti Georgi” locality near

the village of Sestrimo, Belovo municipality that

is also presented in the current volume is consid-

ered as further focus of attention and interest.

Th e present volume illustrates and describes a

total of 832 coins of which: 385 Th racian, Ancient

Greek, Macedonian etc.; 329 Roman; 118 Byzan-

tine.

Th e location and specifi c land relief of the ter-ritories that comprise modern day Pazardzhik region are among the key factors that contribute to the great abundance of archaeological sites in the area including coin fi nds. Th e information gathered about the coin circulation in the period from VI c. BC onwards originates from several sources. First come the coin fi nds whose location has been identifi ed and the coins found during regular archaeological excavations. From statisti-cal point of view important role also play the rest of the coins included in the collection of the Re-gional Historical Museum at Pazardzhik (RHM). Most of them do not have concrete place of fi nd-ing identifi ed but they nevertheless contribute to the process of depicting the full picture of coin circulation. Th e present book contains informa-tion mainly about coin fi nds from Pazardzhik re-gion. In geographical terms this region comprises of parts of Gornotrakiyska Nizina plain, Sredna Gora mountain range, the Rhodope mountain range and small area of Rila mountain range. Th e largest part is located between the areas of Batak ridge and Dabrash ridge. Th ree of the mu-nicipalities that comprise Pazardzhik region are fully situated on the territory of the Western Rho-dopes - Batak, Rakitovo and Velingrad as well as the larger part of Peshtera municipality. Some of the highest Rhodope peaks are also located here namely Golyama Syutka (2186 m), Batashki Sne-zhnik (2182 m) and Malka Syutka (2078 m). Two of the largest parts of the Western Rhodopes in Pazardzhik region are Alabak ridge and Batash-ka Planinaridge. Th ere are two saddles Yundola (1375 m) and Avramova (1295 m) that form the pass between the Rhodopes and Rila mountain. Th e eastern part of Rila mountain lays on the ter-ritory of Pazardzhik region. Th e highest peak in this area is Sungurli Chal - 2349.5 m. In north di-rection the region encompasses some of the south slopes of Sredna Gora mountain range.

On the territory of Pazardzhik region has been discovered the most valuable of the famous Th ra-cian gold treasures – Panagyurishte Gold Treasure. It has been excavated accidentally on December 8, 1949 by three brothers with the family name of

Deikov that have been digging clay near the Merul river that is close to the town of Panagyurishte. Th e treasure consists of nine skilfully craft ed ves-sels – amphora, phiale, rhytonsand jugs with total weight of 6.165 kg all made of pure 24-karat gold. Th e objects are decorated with various mytho-logical fi gures and scenes – goddess Hera, god Apollo, the goddess Artemis and winged goddess of victory Nike, the feats of Th eseus and Heracles, scene with god Dionysus, his wife Ariadne and two maenads etc. Th e handles of the rhyton jugs are shaped like the heads of the goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite and are richly decorated with sphinx and lion fi gures while the openings where the liquid run have been shaped like lion heads. It is believed that in ancient times the fi g-ures of gryphons, sphinxes, centaurs, lions as well as the Ethiopian heads modelled on the phiales have been used as apotropaic symbols that ward off evil. Th e treasure has been dated to the Ear-ly Helladic Period. It is widely accepted that the treasure has been made in the town of Lampsacus situated on the eastern side of the Hellespont be-cause the letter inscription of the amphora weight corresponds to the monetary system of this town. However there are a lot of elements that do not comply with the traditions of the Helladic art and that gives grounds to consider inner Th race ter-ritories as more probable place of its origin.5

Th e greatest concentration of archaeological sites in Pazardzhik region is observed along the river valleys. Th e main drainage basin in the re-gion is Maritsa river (anc. Hebros). Its river ba-sin occupies the central and west part of the east Aegean Sea water catchment area. Maritsa is also the river with the largest water catchment area on the territory of the Balkan Peninsula. It has been named Hebros, Hebrus and Evros and in ancient time its water level has been considerably higher and its middle and lower courses navigable. Unde-niable proof for that claim are the discovered dur-ing archaeological excavations of ancient Pistiros remains of harbour wharf. Th e main left tributar-ies of Maritsa river on the territory of Pazardzhik region are Topolnitsa and Luda Yana rivers while the right ones include the rivers Kriva, Yadenitsa, Chepinska, Stara (Peshterska). Th e water catch-ment area of the left tributaries is in the region of Sredna Gora and of the right ones in Rila and the Rhodopes. Th e combination of favourable envi-ronmental factors such as the capable of growing abundant crops plains and river valleys together with the presence of mountain ranges and the im-portant crossroads location (in the middle of the Balkans on the way from West to East Europe) has been prerequisite for the formation of human settlements on the territory of modern day Paz-ardzhik region since ancient times. For thousands of years diff erent communities have been estab-lished here and there are numerous proofs for the economic and spiritual growth experienced at Prehistory, Antiquity and Medieval periods. Th ere are more than 30 known settlements and dwelling mounds of the fi rst farmers that inhab-ited these lands at Prehistoric times. Th ere are also registered over 1000 burial mounds, settle-ments, sanctuaries, fortresses, way stations from Pre-Roman and Roman times as well as 90 Early and Late Medieval fortresses and settlements.

At Roman and Early Byzantine times the east Balkan provinces have been crossed by six im-portant main roads. Th e territory of modern day Pazardzhik region has been passed by the central Roman road (Via Diagonalis) that provided an important direct land link between Western Eu-rope, the Balkan Provinces and Asia Minor. Most of the inscriptions found along the road indicate that is has been constructed in the middle of the I c. AD. Similarly to most of the Roman roads Via Diagonalis follows the outline of an older Th ra-cian road from Pre-Roman times which dates back to V c. BC. Th e way stations along the road

are described in all known Roman guide books and in the works of ancient authors6.

Th e organization and route of the central road that crossed the territory of Bulgaria and started from Belgrade (anc. Singidunum), passed Sofi a (anc. Serdica), Plovdiv (anc. Philippopolis) and led to Istanbul (anc. Constantinopolis) have been the object of research of several Bulgarian and foreign authors. In his overview research of Roman roads in Bulgaria M. Madzharov cites all known writ-ten sources, research and theories related with the localization of the way stations along the route of Via Diagonalis.7 According to these sources of information aft er crossing the Trayanova Vrata mountain pass the Roman road went down the plain along Maritsa river valley and reached the way station Bona Mansio or Lissas – according to the diff erent authors. Th is way station has been located near the town of Vetren and is the fi rst one on the territory of Pazardzhik region. Th e next ones are Alusore near the village of Boshu-lya and Bessapara (or Zirmis) near the village of Sinitovo. From there on south branched the West Rhodope road that led to the valley of the river Mesta and the Aegean Sea area. According to M. Madzharov8 the ancient settlement near the vil-lage of Kapitan Dimitrievo has been the fi rst way station of this road aft er it forked from Via Diago-nalis. In these parts of the Rhodopes Pre-Roman roads have also existed. Th ey have been used as a direct connection between the large trade centres of Aegean and the built inside Th race trade and craft centres (emporia). Th rough the Rhodopes in north direction these arterial roads reached the valley of Hebros river (Maritsa) through Philip-popolis, Bessapara and emporion Pistiros near the town of Vetren, Pazardzhik district, while in the south they headed mainly towards the towns of Maroneia, Abdera, the Island of Th asos and the mouth of Nestos river (Mesta). Th ese are the main directions that were covered in the process of transfer of goods from Th race to the Aegean coast and backwards. Some of the products have also been transported by the then navigable river Maritsa and thus reaching the large trade centre of Ainos situated at the Hebros estuary.9

Th e most important place in the archaeologi-cal map of Pazardzhik region is occupied by the settlement mounds. Th e registered and studied mounds and burrows include the ones near the village of Rakitovo, town of Strelcha, town of Panagyurishte, village of Kalugerovo, village of Kapitan Dimitrievo, village of Isperihovo, village of Ognyanovo and the village of Yunatsite among others. Th e information gathered provides solid proof how the way of life has been organized on this territory at the Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze ages. At these settlements life fl ourished at the next periods as well10. One of the famous fi nds is the one from the village of Kalugerovo that con-tains of 7 premonetory coin forms in the shape of small bronze axes11. From the village of Kapitan Dimitrievo12 is the coin treasure of 120-130 Ro-man Republic denarii that has been hidden in the period 41-39 year BC. According to note made by T. Gerasimov from the village of Rakitovo13 originates one very interesting coin treasure that consists of more than 22 silver coins: Alexander III – 11 tetradrachms and 2 drachms; Demetri-us Poliorcetes – 1 tetradrachm; Lysimachus – 3 tetradrachms; Seleukos I – 2 tetradrachms; An-tiochus I – 1 tetradrachm; Seleukos II – 1 tet-radrachm; Antiochus III – 1 tetradrachm etc. From the region of the village of Svoboda14 Strel-cha municipality comes a huge hoard of 231 silver tetradrachms from Th asos and Abydos.

During the Iron Age the upper stream of Maritsa river that stretches along Plovdiv and Pazardzhik plains, Sredna Gora and the Rho-dopes has been occupied by the Bessi Th racian tribe a caste among the Satrae. Th ey are fi rst mentioned by the ancient Greek chronologist

Herodotus (V c. BC) who describes them as in-terpreters of the prophecies of the priestess of the oracular shrine of Dionysus (still not localized). Th eir main source of livelihood is horse breeding, winemaking and ore mining. Th e Bessi have been part of the Odrysian Kingdom during the reign of Sitaclces (440-424 year BC). In 45 year AD they have been conquered by the Romans. At the end of the Antiquity the name Bessi has been used in-stead of Th racian. Th ey are the last of the Th ra-cian tribes to adopt Christianity (end of ІV c. AD) and succeed to keep their culture and traditions until the appearance of the Slavs. Large part of the Th racian fi nds in Pazardzhik region date from the period V - III c. BC when the Bessi culture has been at its height. Besides the small settlements there are registered urban type settlements, for-tresses, shrines, way stations, necropolises, main road arteries etc. but just a few of them have been object of archaeological research.15 Th ere is suffi -cient number of coin hoards from this period that clearly outline the specifi cities of coin circulation. Of great importance to the researches are the coin treasures from the village of Velichkovo16, village of Golyamo Belovo17 (IGCH 711); village of Vi-nogradets18 (IGCH 743); village of Akandzhievo19 etc. Th ey clearly present the wide variety of dif-ferent types of coins with various nominal val-ues that formed the monetary circulation of the region from the heavy decadrachms of the Der-rones to the Th asos’s obols. Th e fi nd from the vil-lage of Akandzhievo presents the whole spectre of Th racian coin mintage: on the Island of Th asos; at Apollonia Pontika and at the Asia Minor town of Parion.

On the territory of Septemvri municipal-ity near the village of Sredets20 has been found a monetary treasure that comprises of 3 gold staters and 60 tetradrachms from the reign of Philip II. Similar in its content of Philip II tetradrachms is

the fi nd from the village of Borimechkovo21 that has been discovered in 1941. From the same pe-riod are also the hoards from the village of Pami-dovo22 that contains Philip II tetradrachms, tet-rabols/hemidrachms from the towns of Th racian Chersonesos and Parion. Th e rich picture of this type of coin treasures is further emphasized by the one from the village of Boshulya23 that incor-porates 40 silver coins. It comprises of 1 Philip II tetradrachm minted in the town of Amphipo-lis, 8 hemidrachms from the town of Th racian Chersonesos and 5 hemidrachms from the town of Parion. Th e coin hoard from the village of Vi-nogradets24 is much larger in size (400 coins) and dates a bit further in time. Instead of Macedonian tetradrachm it is a mix of Th asos staters and tet-rabols/hemidrachms from the towns of Th racian Chersonesos and Parion. Th e fi nd from the vil-lage of Rozovo25 is almost identical in its com-position and has the same size as the one from the village of Boshulya – 40 silver coins. It con-tains: hemidrachms of Th racian Chersonesos – 4; hemidrachms of Parion – 5 and there is a silver coin from the town of Maroneia – triobol. Fur-ther details to the general picture are added by the fi nd from the town of Bratsigovo26 composed of 32 silver coins: hemidrachms of Parion – 16; hemidrachms of Th racian Chersonesos – 14 and 2 tetrabols from Abdera. All these fi nds provide a valuable conclusion what are the main coin mint-ages that supplied the Th racian market. Th e ma-jority of coins come from the towns of Parion and Th racian Chersonesos mixed with smaller amount of silver Th racian coins with small nominal value from the Island of Th asos and the towns of Ma-roneia and Abdera.

Th ere is no indication of the exact place of this fi nd but its origin is certainly from Pazardzhik re-

gion and it comprises of bronze coins27 from the reign of Seuthes ІІІ, a large hoard of staters28 of Silenius and Maenad types.

From the village of Vetren is a hoard of bronze coins of Antigonus Gonatus reign that has been scattered aft er its excavation. Part of the coins has been photographed by a coin collector.

Th e most numerous archaeological sites are the burial mounds (tumulus). Th ey represent the burial rituals of the Th racian tribes. Th ey are located close to diff erent dwellings in the areas where coin fi nds are concentrated. Burial mounds have been registered near the villages of: Ivaylo, Dobrovnitsa, Mokrishte, Glavinitsa, Zvanichevo, Sinitovo, Malo Konare, Chernogo-

rovo, Topoli Dol, Rosen, Saraya, Sbor, Velich-kovo, Debrashtitsa, Tsrancha etc.29 Not only the coin hoards but the single coin fi nds bring im-portant information as well. From the village of Glavinitsa30 originate bronze coins from Alexan-der III’s reign and a silver coin depicting eagle with spread wings. Coin from the province of Marcus Aurelius (161-180) is found in the vil-lage Tsrancha [cat. no. 298], coin of Septimius Severus (193-211) minted in Pautalia is found in the village of Velichkovo [cat. no. 169], coins of Caracalla (198-217), minted in Serdica – in the villages of Velichkovo [cat. no. 191] and Glavin-itsa [cat. no. 192], Severus Alexander (222-235) coin from Deultum – in the village of Glavinitsa [cat. no. 139].

One of the excavated shrines is the one near the village of Debrashtitsa, in the Golyam Kosoman locality which is the old-est one Near the village of Ognyanovo is located a Nymph Shrine dated ІІ-ІІІ c. AD.31 Th is is the place of origin of a small treasure32 comprised of Roman Republic denarii. Th e collection of RHM Pazardzhik holds 8 coins [cat. no. 573-580]. Th e

latest of them dates to 49 year B.C.

provinces as well. Th e famous beehive tombs near the town of

Belovo41, town of Vetren42, village of Ravnogor and the town of Strelcha43 provide evidence of the architectural skills of the Th racians and the artifacts discovered within them show the rich religious pantheon and its corresponding beliefs incarnated in delicate samples of Ancient art and toreutics. In Belovo municipality in the area near the village of Golyamo Belovo44 is found mon-etary treasure that consists of silver staters from the Island of Th asos of Silenius and Maenad types. On some of them T. Gerasimov has noticed the letter Θ Again from the area around the town of Belovo45, Rakovitsa locality originates a hoard of 14 bronze coins, 7 of which are from Allexander III’s reign.

Th e two tombs situated in the Rhodopes near the village of Ravnogor are dated to the period ІV-II c. BC. Th e fi rst tomb comprises of corridor 5 m long which has no door on the outside and leads to a beehive chamber with a dome 5,26 m -5,40 m. It is built of well worked stone blocks (made of sandstone) with diff erent sizes and no masonry.

Pazardzhik as proposed by G. Kitov

Th e fl oor of the tomb is covered with stone tiles. It has been entered upon numerous times and al-ready plundered at Ancient times. Th e tomb has been completely ravaged – the only items found include ceramic fragments, iron nail heads (prob-ably from an wooden door that closed the cham-ber) and one coin with the name of Tiberius (14-37 AD) that gave grounds to G. Kitov to relate the plunder of the tomb with the Th racian uprising from 21 year AD.46 However the building of the tomb has been dated to the end of ІV c. BC or

the fi rst half of the ІІІ c. BC. Th e second beehive tomb comprises of round chamber with diameter 5,10 m -5,34 m and a corridor leading to it 5,75 m long. Its plunder is again related to the Th racian uprising from the 21 year AD.47

Th e ancient Tomb in the Village of Ravnogor

Close to the tombs in a small mound (with no traces of burial in it) have been found silver gold plated ornaments for horse harness and nine other artifacts including bridle, brasses and sev-en round ornaments. On six of these ornaments grouped in pairs (they have been used as cheek protectors on the two sides of the horse head) are depicted the busts of the goddesses Athena, Ar-temis and Nike. Th e seventh ornament depicts a winged Th racian deity wearing hair wreath.48

Ravnogor Treasure – silver gold plated ornaments for horse armour, II c. BC


Th e Zhaba Mogila mound near the town of Strel-cha is beehive tomb with rectangular antecham-ber and has been plundered at Ancient times. In it aft er the IV c. BC has been buried a Th racian ruler. Th e tomb entrance is impressive, made of worked stones and well preserved. On its pedi-ment for the fi rst time have been discovered relief decorations of Th racian goddess and of Medusa situated among fl oral ornaments. In the front part of the mound is situated a well preserved four wheel chariot for two driving horses and a third riding horse in front of them. Th ere are preserved over 50 silver ornaments from the horse armour. In the north-west part of the mound has been dis-covered an older facility – sanctuary-temple that consisted of three chambers forming an L-shape. Decoration from fl oral relief ornaments has cov-ered the stone facade and the reliefs of two lions have been symmetrically positioned at the both sides. Th e reliefs have been coloured in yellow, blue and red. Th e tomb and the temple comprise religious mausoleum complex that worships the dead ruler.49

Research of the numerous burial mounds and burrows spread over the whole region – near the towns of Strelcha and Panagyurishte and the vil-lages of Chernogorovo, Velichkovo, Kalugerovo, Debrashtitsa, Isperihovo etc. and the burial inven-tory found inside them provide valuable source of information about the Th racian cult of the dead on the territory of modern day Pazardzhik region that has been inhabited by Th racians in the Late Iron Age and Roman Imperial periods. Th e Th ra-cian sanctuaries and shrines near the villages of Varvara, Batkun, Dyulevo, Debrashtitsa and the areas around the town of Velingrad and the votive tablets and religious pottery discovered within them illustrate well the richness of the Th racian pantheon and religious beliefs. One of the most important fi nds of early large silver coins origi-nates from a stone quarry in the region of the vil-lage of Velichkovo (IGCH 690). Th ere have been found 9 decadrachms of the Derrones50.Th ere are also coin fi nds from Hellenistic period. From the village of Kamenitsa (IGCH 970)51, Velingrad area comes a treasure consisting of tetradrachms bearing the name of the Roman Quaestor Aesil-

las. A hoard of 8 silver Hellenistic tetradrachms from the island of Th asos has been registered at the village of Akandzhievo53. Considerably larger hoard of around 100 Th asos tetradrachms has been reported at the village of Popintsi, Panagy-urishte region.

In this area has been observed a considerable concentration of coin treasures from the period ІІ-І c. BC. Th ere are numerous studied and pre-served emblematic fi nds among which important place occupies the one from the village of Cher-nogorovo (IGCH 949)54. Th e treasure has been found in a bronze hydria and comprises of 282 Athenian tetradrachms that have been minted in the so called New Style. Th e full publishing of the fi nd in the present book [cat. no. 323-572] is ex-pected to contribute to the research of one of the most argued about in terms of dating periods in Hellenistic mintage. All coins are from two pairs of coin magistrates: ΕΠΙΓΕΝΗ-ΣΟΣΑΝΔΡΟΣ and ΜΙΚΩΝ-ΕΥΡΙΚΛΕΙ. Yet another important aspect of this research is depicted by the treasure of the village of Vetren (CH VII, 141)55 that has been discovered in 1977. Th is mixed hoard of coins also contains New Style Athenian tetradrachms with Th asos tetradrachms and Roman Republic denarii from the period 48-47 year BC. Impor-tant notice is to be paid to the Athenian coins that are from the less presented magistrate pairs: ΦΙΛΟΚΡΑΤΗΣ-ΗΡΟΔΗΣ; ΦΙΛΟΚΡΑΤΗΣ-ΚΑΛΛΙΦΩΝ and ΗΡΑΚΛΩΝ-ΗΡΑΚΛΕΙΔΗΣ. Also valuable for this area of research are the fi nds from the village of Dragomir56, Saedinenie municipality. Even though they originate from the territory of Plovdiv region these fi nds confi rm the information gathered from study of the trea-sure from the village of Chernogorovo and some

of the coins are stored at RHM Pazardzhik. Another treasure that has been partially pre-

served is found in 1943 in the village of Blatnitsa (IGCH 944)57. It also plays a special role in the research of circulation of the not so well studied tetrobols that are believed to originate from the town of Histiaia on the island of Euboea.

Information about the role of silver coins with large nominal values minted in the Macedonian provinces and directed at the inner Th race ter-ritory is brought by the treasure comprising of Hellenistic tetradrachms found at the village of Boshulya58.

Th e ritual importance that the local people attached to the hearths is emphasized by the nu-merous stone and pottery fi gurines of ram and horse heads used as andirons (called glavnyar-nitsi used), that are found in both settlements and burial mounds. Th e Regional Historical Museum at Pazardzhik stores a collection of over 35 stone and ceramic fi gurines of rams and horses. Most of them have been found by accident and the rest have been acquired during archaeological exca-vations. Th e latest research sheds light about the Celtic enclaves that existed among the Th racian tribes59. It is believed that the hearth andiron fi gu-rines are undeniable proof of their presence in the area.

Th e settlement life during the Th racian and Roman ages on the territory of Pazardzhik region is not well studied. One of the most important and

signifi cant sites is the one of Pistiros emporion.Th e archaeological excavations there have

been in progress for a period of over 25 years. Researchers have managed to confi rm its role as trade centre and its importance as an economic and cultural centre in the Classical and Hellenis-tic periods of Ancient Th race history. Th e site is one-of-a-kind hybrid urban centre situated in the heart of Th race where Th racians and Greeks lived together. Up to that moment the east gate and its tower have been excavated together with the bastion and larger part of the fortifi cation walls. From the east gate and the watchtower a large

paved street lined with group of buildings on the two sides leads to the town. A sewage system that transferred the waste water out of the town has been also discovered. Research of Pistiros remain allows scientists to determine what has been the importance of the emporion in the historical de-velopment of Ancient Th race and its role as huge trade, urban and manufacturing centre where re-ligious activities of Th racians, Hellenes and prob-ably Celts have taken place.

Th e numismatic fi nds from archaeological ex-cavations of emporion Pistiros are summarized

and published.60

Bessapara has been the main town of the Bessi Th racian tribe. It has stretched over the following modern day localities: Ibryamdere, Dolniya Danlak and Beberitsa at the foot of the Bessaparski Halmove hills near the village of Sinitovo. Nearby there are necropolis and 10 burrial mounds. Bessapara has been situated on the left bank of Maritsariver and on the oppo-site bank has been the town of Burdapa west of modern days village of Ognyanovo. Bessapara has not only been the urban centre of the region but a way station (mancio) of Via Diagonalis road at Roman times. According to an inscrip-tion of sacrifi cial alter found in the town of Plo-vdiv (1948) and dated at the beginning of ІІІ c. AD there have existed two towns named Bessa-para respectively Dolna (Lower) Bessapara and Gorna (Upper) Bessapara. D. Tsonchev who has researched in detail the sacrifi cial alter believes that Gorna Bessapara has been located on the territory of modern day localities Aykanya and Kopanite near the village of Kapitan Dimitrievo where archaeologists have registered the pres-ence of settlement and necropolis with 40 burial mounds. On the territory of Dolna Bessapara signifi cant archaeological fi nds have been made – votive tablets of the Dioskuri, the Th racian horseman and the Persian god Mithra, statue of unidentifi ed Roman emperor, marble head of young man, marble milestone from the rule of Catius Keler (238-241) who has been the deputy governor for Th race province on behalf of the Roman emperor Gordian ІІІ (238-244). All of these fi nds serve as proof of the signifi cance of the location in the administrative and spiritual life of the Bessi. Up to the present moment no

systematic archaeological excavations have been made.61

In the village of Banya, Panagyurishte region have been found 2 bronze Philippopolis coins that have been minted during the reigns of Antoninus Pius (138-161) [cat. no. 216] and Marcus Aurelius (161-180) [cat. no. 224]. Roman Age settlement has been registered in Zmeyovets locality near the village of Kalugerovo. From that site originate coins of Antoninus Pius (138-161) [cat. no. 296], Marcus Aurelius (161-180) (Pautalia [cat. no. 160]), Caracalla (198-217) (Pautalia [cat. no. 180] and Serdica [cat. no. 194-195]), Elagabalus (218-222) (Philippopolis [cat. no. 247]).

Th ree provincial coins of Commodus (176-192) minted in Pautalia [cat. no. 167], of Sep-timius Severus (193-211), minted in Augusta Traiana [cat. no. 125] and of Geta (198-212), minted in Philippopolis [cat. no. 243] have been found in the town of Vetren.

From the town of Pazardzhik, the museum nu-mismatic fund has 5 provincial coins: the oldest ones are one coin from the town of Philippi dated at the beginning of І c. [cat. no. 264] and a coin of Claudius І (41-54) minted in Amphipollis [cat. no. 252], the next in terms of age are the coins of Antoninus Pius (138-161) from Philippopolis [cat. no. 223], of Caracalla (198-217), minted in Ser-dica [cat. no. 200] and of Gordian ІІІ (238-244) from Nicaea [cat. no. 280].

Provincial coins have been also found in the village of Patalenitsa – of Augustus (27 year BC – 14 year AD) minted in Amphipollis, of Cara-calla (198-217) minted in Serdica; in the village of Yunatsite – coins of Septimius Severus (193-211) minted in Augusta Traiana and of Caracal-la (198-217) minted in Nicaea; in the village of Karabunar – coin of Caracalla (198-217) minted in Byzantion; in the village of Vinogradets – a coin minted in Pautalia of Caracalla (198-217); in the village of Shturkovo – coin of Caracalla (198-217) from Augusta Traiana; in the village of Semchinovo – coin of Gordian ІІІ (238-244) from Hadrianopolis; in the village of Govedare – coin of Gordian ІІІ (238-244) minted in Nicaea; from the archealogical excavation of Topolnitsa dam – coin of Elagabalus (218-222) minted in Philippopolis.

From the village of Akandzhievo, Belovo mu-nicipality originates a collective coin fi nd that

comprises of 88 bronze Roman provincial coins62. Th e coins from the treasure cover the period from the end of the ІІ c. (coins of Commodus) to the 20s of the ІІІ c. (coins of Elagabalus). Th ere are examples of coins minted in Philippopolis during the reigns of Commodus (2), Septimius Severus (3), Caracalla (4), Geta (3), Elagabalus (2), Ju-lia Paula (1); from Pautalia mint – Septimius Severus (9), Caracalla (14), Geta (2), Elagaba-lus (6)63; from Serdica mint – Julia Domna (1), Caracalla (25), Geta (4); from Augusta Traiana mint – Julia Domna (1), Caracalla (6), Geta (2), Elagabalus (1)64; from Nicopolis ad Nestum mint – Caracalla (1) and from Ankyra mint – Septi-mius Severus (1).

Indications of Roman presence have been identifi ed in Relyuvo locality in Rakitovo munici-pality where the remains of Roman settlement that has been built on top of earlier Th racian one are found. In 1960 there has been excavated a coin fi nd comprising of 10 bronze Roman provincial coins65 – 4 of them have been minted in Deultum – of Severus Alexander, Julia Mamaea, Gordian ІІІ and Otacilia Severa.

Yet another important coin treasure dated from the period ІІ-ІІІ c. has been found in the village of Sestrimo, Belovo municipality, Sveti Georgi locality [cat. nos. 625-714]. Th e collec-tive coin fi nd is mixed three of the coins (two of Faustina І and one of Crispina) have been product of the central Roman coinage process. Th e other 87 coins have been minted by the city councils of the towns of Viminacium (1), Augus-ta Traiana (9), Deultum (25), Pautalia (9), Ser-dica (23), Philippopolis (6), Stobi (2), Amphipolis (1), Nicaea (4), Dardanos (1). Th e newest coins in the treasure have been minted at the reign of Philip І (244-249) and Philip ІІ (244-249). Th e condition of some of the newer coins indicates

that they have been subjected to prolonged use. Th is means that the reason behind the hiding of the treasure should be sought among the events that took place in the middle of ІІІ c. AD.66

Th e overview of the circulation of provin-cial coins on the territory of Pazardzhik region shows that it falls within the expected patterns and no serious deviations are observed. Th e number and specifi cities of the coins from dif-ferent provinces allow researchers to make con-clusions about the trade relationships within the empire. Th e majority of the coins have been produced in the mints Th racian province: Ser-dica – 62, Pautalia – 47, Deultum – 40, Philip-popolis – 27, Augusta Traiana – 22 and Byzan-tion, Hadrianopolis, Trayanopolis, Nicopolis ad Nestum – with 1 each. Th e fact that most of the coins have been minted in Serdica and Pauta-lia has its rational explanation. At ancient times Pazardzhik region has been crossed by Via Diagonalis and the important slip road Stobi – Pautalia – Serdica. From Pautalia the route passes the ancient settlements near the modern days villages of Nevestino and Pancharevo, then Razmetanitsa locality and around Golyamo Selo through Yahinovo it reaches Sapareva Banya.67 From Sapareva Banya the road goes over the wa-ter divide between the rivers Struma and Iskar close to the village of Saparevo and then contin-ues along the valley of Lakatnitsa river until it reaches the village of Govedartsi. Next the route follows the north slopes of Rila mountain and along the valley of Maritsa river descends close to the village of Raduil. From there the road heads east along the valley of Maritsa river in

63 According to Ruzicka the coinage of Pautalia is sus-pended during the time of Caracalla (198-217). See: Ruzicka, L. Die Münzen von Pautalia. – ИБАИ, VІІ, 1932-33. Mostlikely the coins attributed to Elagabalus (218-222) are coins of Caracalla.

70 In the fi rst publication the number of the coins was given with ca. 70 (Герасимов, Т. Колективни находки на монети през последните години. – ИАИ, ХХII, 1959, 358-359.)

the direction of Philippopolis.68 Coins minted in Deultum are widely spread in the researched region.69 From the mints north of Stara Plani-na mountain (Moesia and Dacia provinces) in the region of Pazardzhik have been excavated only two coins from Viminacium, made under the reign of Gordian ІІІ (238-244). Th e mints from Macedonia province are presented with coins from Amphipolis, Th essalonica, Philippi and Stobi. Th e presence of coins from distant towns in Asia Minor (in particular from Nica-ea in Bithynia province – 8, from Dardanos in Troas province – 1, from Hermokapeleia in Lyd-ia province – 1 and from Ankyra – 1) indicate that intensive communication channel has been established with these towns. On the contrary even though the towns of Nicopolis ad Nestum, Trajanopolis and Anchialus fell within the ter-ritory of the empire and were not so distant in terms of location there are found far less coins minted there.

Byzantine coin fi nds from Pazardzhik re-gion indicate a constant infl ow of bronze coins, mainly follises. All coins bear traces of relatively long period of circulation, and were produced mainly in the mints of Constantinople, Nicome-dia, Kyzikos and Th essalonica. Some of the coins originated from the mints of Antiochia and one is from Carthage. Most of the discovered Byzan-tine coins belong to the period of rule of Justin-ian I (527-565). Th is could be explained by the fact that his reign covers a large period of for nearly 4 decades. Most of the coins are single fi nds and unfortunately in many cases there is no detailed information about the circumstanc-es and location where these fi nds have been ac-quired.

Archaeological excavations in the area Tsepi-na Fortress, in the western Rhodope Mountains provided a notable number of coins. Th e numis-matic fi nds clearly indicate that the period of economical prosperity of the fortress took place under Justinian I.

In 1956 a hoard of approximately 50 coins70 was found near the village Patalenitsa. Only a few coins from this fi nd have been handed over to the

museum in Pazardzhik71. In the early Byzantine period a small fortifi cation has been situated in this area.72

Th e Byzantine coins found on the territory of the village of Dabravite could be associated with the Momina Klisura Byzantine fortress that pro-tected the important roads along the valleys of the rivers Mesta and Struma.

Some of the single coins found in the area of the village of Malo Konare could be explained by the fact that the ancient road connecting the towns of Pazardzhik and Philippopolis has been situated nearby73.

Th e early Christian basilicas from the Late Antiquity serve as an example of the religious buildings typical of the period. Examples of such archaeological monuments have been registered near the village of Tsrancha in the Sveti Georgi lo-cality (V-VІ c. AD), near the villages of Isperihovo and Kostandovo, in the town of Rakitovo and in the Tsepina Fortress. One of the most impressive examples is the three nave basilica near the town of Belovo. Together with its surrounding monas-tery complex it has functioned as an episcopate centre from VI c. AD with short interruptions until XVII c. AD when its fi nal destruction took place.

One of the famous towns in the Late Antiquity and Medieval periods is the one of Batkunion that occupied the territory of modern day village of Patalenitsa, Batkun quarter. Of secondary impor-tance in the region have been the Kaleto Fortress or the fortifi edgord settlement situated on Kacha-govski Bair hill near the village of Debrashtitsa as well as the fortress situated 3 km south-west of the Batkun Fortress as part of the Rhodope fortifi ca-tion system. When the foothills of Sredna Gora mountain are considered as the most important fortress can be singled out the Ostroto Tepe For-tress situated on Ovchite Halmove hills near the villages of Ovchepoltsi, Apriltsi, Tsar Asen and Velichkovo74. Diff erent Medieval settlements

32

have been registered in the areas around the vil-lages of Dobrovnitsa, Pishtigovo, Chernogorovo, Saraya, Gelemenovo, Apriltsi, Bratanitsa, Gove-dare, Velichkovo and Momina Klisura. Some of the registered fortifi cations include Kievo Kale fortress and Peristera fortress near the town of Peshtera, Zhaba Krepost fortress near the village of Bratsigovo, Krasen fortress near the village of Bata and others.75

Signifi cant in historical terms site is the Tsepi-na fortress near the village of Dorkovo. Interest-ing fact is that during the early Iron Age there has been a Th racian settlement on the hilltop where the fortress has been later built and that settlement continued its existence during the Roman period as well. At the time of the Early Byzantine age and the First Bulgarian Empire life fl ourished there as well. As evidence to support that claim serve the remains of houses, churches, tools, pottery, coins and etc. Th e excavated outer fortifi cation wall, two towers and the west wall, four water storage reservoirs and two churches are dated from the period XII-XIV c. AD. In the Late Mediaeval pe-riod Tsepina has been the feudal castle and capital town of Alexius Slav – a feudal autocrat that has nephew of Tsar Kaloyan.76

Important cultural and religious Medieval centres are some of the churches like the one on Gradishteto hill near the village of Debrash-titsa that has been dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel (the fact that it is surrounded by wall supports the hypothesis that the church has been part of monastery complex) as well as the monas-tery dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul and the church dedicated to Saint Demetrius of Th es-saloniki in the village of Patalenitsa, Batkunquar-ter. During the late Middle Ages and the Ottoman Rule period the Christian spirit thrived in small chapels and churches dedicated to various saints like: St. George,Virgin Mary (Mother of God), Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, Saint Parascheva of the Balkans, Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Marina the Great-Martyr, Prophet Elias etc., lo-cated in the villages of Chernogorovo, Topoli Dol, Govedare, Debrashtitsa, Bratanitsa, Patalenitsa, Varvara etc.77

Th e coins presented in this book are from the period ІV c. BC – end of VІІ c. AD. Some part of the museum collection covers the period VІ-ІV c. BC, and there are some hoards of Roman imperial coins that are subject to future publica-tions.
