Cucuteni cultureAbstract
The article analyses the finds of Roman coins, and their imitations and copies found in the Cherniakhiv culture area in the Northern Black Sea Littoral region. There are several peculiarities of their distribution: the almost complete absence of hoards of Roman denarii or their copies and imitations; a small number of finds of antoniniani, Roman provincial coins, aurei, gold and gold-plated imitations and solidi; a considerable spread of single finds of Roman Imperial denarii and late Roman bronze issues, the presence of siliqua finds. All of these distinguish this region from other areas of the Cherniakhiv culture, which may be due to several different reasons.
