Coins of the Bithynian Mint of Nicaea from the Viminacium Necropolis of Pećine

During the large-scale archaeological rescue investigations of the southern necropolises of Viminacium, at one of them, Pećine, 170 specimens of coins of the Bithynian mint of Nicaea were discovered. Of these specimens, 83 were found in the graves, and 87 in the layer at the necropolis. The largest number of them belongs to the emissions of Severus Alexander and Gordian III. Compared to the necropolis of Više grobalja, where 290 specimens of Nicaean coinage were found, the finds from the necropolis of Pe}ine appear in a smaller percentage
