Ce type monétaire présente sur l’une des côtés, considérée comme avers (Winkler 1972, 173-199; Iliescu 1990, 185-213; Dima, Ilie 2007, 35-65), un aigle aux ailes déployées à gauche, tenant dans la serre droite une couronne et dans la gauche un sceptre. Sur le revers sont figurés trois personnages, deux licteurs et un consul, passant à gauche, un monogramme dans le champ gauche et la légende KOΣΩN à l’exergue. Issu de l’iconographie monétaire romaine, l’avers des kosons apparaît comme une adap- tation barbare de la représentation caractérisant les revers des deniers émis à Rome en 73 av. J.-C., par le magistrat monétaire Q. Pomponius Rufus, tandis que le revers imite les deniers de M. Iunius Brutus frappés en 54 av. J.-C. (Iliescu 1990, 188-189). Jusqu’à présent on a constaté deux groupes de kosons: avec mono- gramme et sans monogramme, les recherches plus anciennes (Bahrfeldt 1911, 3- 4) indiquant que la première catégorie est représentée par le plus grand nombre de pièces1. Cette observation reste valable après la publication d’un lot de 221 pièces (Dima, Ilie 2007, 35-65) appartenant à une découverte faite en août 1996 sur la colline de Grãdiºtea, entrée dans la littérature sous l’appellation de trésor de Târsa, dép. de Hunedoara (Petolescu 1997, 84-93; Chiriac 2002, 247-252), incluant environ 3000 pièces, toutes avec monogramme (Lazãr 2010). On a long- temps considéré qu’il y a plusieurs types de monogramme (Bahrfeldt 1911, 10; Halevy 1961, 90, Iliescu 1990, 187), mais le matériel numismatique mis dans le circuit scientifique montre qu’il s’agit de deux formes du même monogram- me qu’on a dénommées conventionnellement élaborée (complexe) et simple (Chiriac 2002, 247; Cojocaru et alii 2000, 185-190; Vîlcu et alii 2006, 9-11; Dima, Ilie 2007, 35-65). Les controverses portent aussi sur la signification du monogramme, qui, selon quelques opinions, pourrait être lue BA – les premières lettres du mot Bασιλεύς (Bahrfeldt 1911, 11), BR – l’abréviation du nom de Étude financée par le Projet UE, FSE, POSDRU, 89/1.5./S/61104 (2010-2013) 200 • TRANSYLVANIAN REVIEW • VOL. XIX, SUPPLEMENT NO. 5:1 (2010) Brutus, OΛB – désignant Olbia (Head 1911, 272, 289), ou, selon une affir- mation plus récente, serait en fait une marque de magistrat monétaire (Petolescu 1997, 90). La dernière interprétation du monogramme pourrait être correcte si l’ont tient compte du fait que l’émission des monnaies de type Koson a été influencée par le système des statères en or mis en circulation par les cités grecques du littoral ouest de la Mer Noire de l’époque des guerres de Mithridate. L’analyse du matériel numismatique montre que la lecture OΛB (Olbia) est fantaisiste et sans fondement, tout comme l’idée que le monogramme pourrait être lu BR (Brutus). Dans le dernier cas, l’association d’une légende grecque à un mono- gramme en caractères latins est difficile à accepter. En ce qui concerne l’origine et le but de l’émission, les monnaies de type Koson ont provoqué des disputes, dès leur première mention, au XVIe siècle, étant attri- buées à une ville d’Étrurie (Eckhel 1779, 14), à Cossea de Thrace (Mionnet 1806, 98, nos. 11-12), à un roi thrace (Mommsen 1860, 693) ou à un dynaste scythe des environs d’Olbia (Head 1911, 272, 289). Dans la première étude détaillée sur les monnaies de type Koson (Bahrfeldt 1911, 15), on avançait l’hypothèse que l’émetteur avait été un roi de Dacie, théorie embrassée par une partie de l’his- toriographie roumaine (Winkler 1972, 196; Iliescu, 1990, 208-209; Petolescu 1997, 90-91). Une autre hypothèse envisageait la possibilité que les monnaies de type Koson aient été frappées pour le paiement des mercenaires conduits par le roi Koson (Eckhel 1796, 23; Pârvan 1926, 84, 603-604; Daicoviciu 1965, 110). L’absence des découvertes dans les agglomérations des Gètes et leur apparition uniquement dans des dépôts, menèrent à l’idée que ces monnaies n’ont pas eu de fonction éco- nomique, étant thésaurisées ou déposées en offrande au grand sanctuaire de Sarmizegetusa Regia par le roi Koson-Cotiso (Mihãilescu Bîrliba 1990, 92). Dans ce cas, les kosons auraient été frappés au Sud du Danube dans l’atelier mobile qui accompagnait Brutus et Cassius peu avant la bataille de Philippi de 42 av. J.- C., et leur invention en Transylvanie s’expliquerait par le paiement des soldes aux mercenaires géto-daces ou par les pillages (Pârvan 1926, 84, 603-604). Mais on doit remarquer que les sources écrites ne mentionnent aucune liaison entre Brutus et quelque dynaste de la Dacie. Appien relate que Brutus aurait reçu une importante quantité d’or et d’argent du trésor apporté par Polémocratie, la veuve du roi thrace Sadala II, qu’il transforma en monnaies, mais il s’agit d’au- rei et de deniers sans aucun rapport métrologique ou stylistique avec les émis- sions de type Koson. Selon la deuxième thèse principale, les monnaies à la légende KOΣΩN ont été frappées en Dacie dans l’intervalle 44-29 av. J.-C., par le roi Cotiso, mentionné dans quelques manuscrits de Suétone sous le nom de Coson (Daicoviciu 1965, 110). Une variante de cette hypothèse accrédite l’idée que les monnaies furent émises en Dacie, mais elles indiqueraient une alliance des HUMAN HERITAGE AND COMMUNITY • 201 Géto-Daces avec Brutus (Winkler 1972, 196). Dans les deux cas, la plupart des chercheurs ont considéré que sur le revers des monnaies il y a le nom du souverain qui a ordonné l’émission. Une autre interprétation de la légende engen- dra une autre hypothèse, selon laquelle KOΣΩN représente un symbole de la véri- fication et du marquage, forme de participe neutre du verbe ðïóüù, écrit en dialecte ionien, kïóüù («marquer le poids»; «préciser la valeur»). Dans ces condi- tions, l’application du mot KOΣΩN sur les monnaies devait attester que chaque pièce avait été vérifiée et qu’elle avait la même valeur qu’un statère en or (Halevy 1961, 92). Il est surprenant que jusqu’à présent l’idée de M.A. Halevy n’a pas été prise en considération par ceux qui s’occupèrent du sujet, même si les résultats des investigations récentes sur le matériel numismatique semblent plaider en faveur de cette hypothèse. En ce qui concerne l’idée concernant l’émission des kosons par le roi Cotyso vers l’année 29 av. J.-C., nous considérons qu’on ne peut pas l’accepter si l’on tient compte de l’analyse stylistique, métrologique et du métal effectuée récemment sur un plus grand échantillon de pièces. En même temps, l’identification de Cotiso avec Koson este incertaine, surtout qu’elle partit de la monnaie avec la légende KOΣΩN vers les manuscrits médiévaux de Suétone, où apparaissent les deux formes Cosoni et Cotisoni, dues probablement aux copistes (Iliescu 1990, 213). L’authenticité de cette émission monétaire fut récemment mise en doute, en lançant l’hypothèse qu’il s’agirait d’une création médiévale (Preda 1998, 226- 233). L’argumentation de cette idée partit des documents médiévaux qui men- tionnent qu’au milieu du XVIe siècle, après la découverte d’un grand trésor dans le lit de la rivière Strei, de nombreux statères de type Lysimaque restèrent en circulation en Transylvanie (Iliescu, 1968, 91-92; Iliescu 1972, 655-660; Winkler 1972, 188-191).

  • Alessandro Cavagna Gli Alleati Di Bruto in Dacia Ei 'Koson'
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenstarTs Alessandro Cavagna Gli alleati di Bruto in Dacia e i ‘Koson’ d’oro Appiano, nel IV libro delle Guerre Civili, ricorda che nel 42 a.C. Bruto e Cas- sio, prima degli scontri a Filippi, passarono in rassegna l’esercito: vengono così elencati, oltre agli effettivi romani, Celti e Iberi, Lusitani, Traci, Illiri, Partini, Tessali, Arabi, Medi, Parti, i re alleati e i tetrarchi dei Galati d’Asia1. Sono nume- rosi gli storici che, accanto alle forze ricordate da Appiano, hanno ritenuto che comparissero anche i Daci/Geti, sebbene essi non fossero esplicitamente men- zionati: la prova di un loro coinvolgimento proverrebbe dai cosiddetti ‘Koson’ (fig. 1), ossia monete d’oro che Bruto – secondo una consolidata tradizione di studi – avrebbe prodotto appositamente per pagare questi contingenti2. 1. La prima anomalia: l’impossibile lettura di KOΣΩN La prima menzione di queste monete viene comunemente rimandata a una lettera (datata al 31 agosto del 1520) che Erasmo da Rotterdam, allora a Lou- 1 App. civ. IV 88 (371-373): «[...] Bruto e Cassio mossero verso Eno e Maronea, e da lì a Lisimachia e Cardia che, come fossero delle porte, chiudono l’istmo del Chersoneso Tracico; il giorno successivo giunsero al golfo di Melas. Qui passarono in rassegna l’esercito: complessi- vamente avevano diciannove legioni di opliti, delle quali otto erano di Bruto e nove di Cassio, nessuna completa; poi all’incirca gli effettivi di due legioni, così che in totale risultavano circa ottantamila soldati.

  • Coson Sau Cotiso?
    COSON SAU COTISO? In biografia împăratului Augustus, Suetonius relatează o destul de bizară acuzaţie pe care M. Antonius i-o adusese cîndva colegului său de trium­ virat. ,,M. Antonius scribit, spune istoricul, primum eum Antonio filio despondisse Iuliam, dein Cotisoni Getarum regi, quo tempore sibi quoqu,e in vicem filiam regis in matrimonium petisset'•l (,,M. Antonius scrie că Octavianus a făgăduit-o pe Iulia mai întîi fiului său, Antonius, apoi lui Cotiso, regele geţilor, şi că tot atunci a cerut, în schimb, în căsătorie, chiar pentru el, pe fiica regelui"). Lăsînd la o parte lipsa de verosimilitate a aserţiunii, în care trebuie să vedem o încercare a rivalului viitorului împărat de a-l discredita pe acesta în ochii romanilor, vom observa că o serie de manuscrise, ce vor fi trecute în revistă mai jos, poartă, în locul cuvintelor Cotisoni Getarum regi, cuvintele Cosoni (sau Cosini) Getarum regi. în general, editorii textu­ lui au preferat lectura Cotisoni2, dar nu e mai puţin adevărat că nepotri­ virea manuscriselor ridică o problemă: Suetonius a vorbit despre regele get Cotiso sau despre regele get Coson? Cotiso mai apare în izvoarele latine. Poetul Horaţiu, contemporan cu acest dinast geto-dac, îi spune lui Mecena3 : ,,Mitte civiles super Urbe curas. Occidit Daci Cotisonis agmen". (.,Lasă grijile obşteşti pentru Cetate. Armata dacului Cotiso a pierit"), iar un comentar horaţian se exprimă astfel: ,,Occidit Daci Cotisonis agmen.

  • On the Origins of the Romanian People
    『地域政策研究』(高崎経済大学地域政策学会) 第7巻 第2号 2004年 10 月 17 頁~ 38 頁 On the Origins of the Romanian People Elena Taralunga TAMURA Abstract I have been often asked where I come from and I have realized that not much is known about Romania, its location, language and history. This paper is an examination of the roots of Romanian history. It is supported by official historical evidence and some of the data is approved by the Romanian Academy of History and Archeology, whereas other information is taken from different sources such as: history of religions, different reports from the Institute of Dacology, encyclopedias, and folklore resources. Statements on history can be eventually confirmed as well as denied when some new discovery happens. Also, in the case of writing a research paper on the ancient history of a country the lack of sufficient and explicit written evidence left to this day, can obstruct the discovering of facts that are correct, free from ambiguity and vacillation.This paper covers the early historical beginnings of the people that inhabited the territory of modern Romania to the time when the Roman Empire changed the country north of Danube into a Roman colony. This paper comprises: A geographical description of Romania History: the beginnings, An explanation of the meaning of the Pelasgians Definition of who the Thracians were. The Dacians and the Getae and who they were. The Dacian kings and among them the most important, Buerebista and Decebal The change of Dacia into a Roman colony Conclusion - 17 - Elena Taralunga TAMURA Introduction The historic magnitude of different peoples on the earth does not always radiate with the same intensity.

  • Patterns of Continuity in Geto-Dacian Foreign Policy
    69 HIRUNDO 2008 Pattern of Continuity in Geto-Dacian Foreign Policy Under Burebista Paul Vădan Following the death of Alexander the Great, the ancient world was affected by prolonged po - litical turmoil as many states emerging after 323 BC, both within and without Alexander’s former Em - pire, sought to impose their regional hegemony at each other’s expense in an attempt to restore stability. In the context of such discourse in power politics, the Geto-Dacian state emerged and sought to assert itself in the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic region under the rule of Burebista in the 1 st century BC. De - spite modern claims that Burebista’s achievements were without precedent in the history of Geto-Dacia, 1 this paper will attempt to place the rule of Burebista in the context of a long tradition of Geto-Dacian foreign policy of assertion and interaction with the Hellenistic οιкоυµένη (oikoumene the perceived Greek world as opposed to barbarian lands). In order to do this, we will need to analyze Burebista’s political and economic goals in order to determine whether his rule conformed to an established pattern. Unfortunately, such a project is ir - reparably flawed because no Geto-Dacian written accounts (if there were any) have survived; all that has been passed on to us in terms of literary “evidence” are approximately four hundred Geto-Dacian words that are still in use in the Romanian language. As a result, scholars are forced to appeal exclu - sively (and with caution) to Greek and Roman written sources if they are to construct a generally co - herent history of the Geto-Dacians.

A REXAMINATION OF THE Marius Grigore Stan EVIDENCE University ‚Babeș-Bolyai’ of Cluj-Napoca [email protected] DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14795/j.v1i4.90 ISSN 2360 – 266X Abstract: This article offers a re-examination of the phenomenon of Roman ISSN–L 2360 – 266X Republican coinage during the pre-Roman period in Carpathian region. It is argued that by compiling the evidence into a multifaceted database, new insights are gained on the explanation of the currency in pre-Roman Dacia. Furthermore, the study employs statistical methods in an interdisciplinary approach to a better pinpoint the chronological point of entry for Republican denarii into the region. Due to the absence of archaeological context in many cases, coin hoards are the main focus of data collection. Keywords: Roman republican coinage, pre-Roman Dacia, coin hoards, coin copies, trade routes INTRODUCTION he aim of the present research is to study the emergence of the Roman- type coin on the territory inhabited mostly by north Danubian Geto- TDacian tribes, generally called Dacians. The term ‘Dacians’ is used without ethnic implications and the term ‘Dacia’ refers to the Carpathian- Danubian-Pontic territory not to a state that would have included all this area. A component of the history of this territory from the period before the Roman conquest is the presence in the archaeological discovers of the Roman coins. The explanations are varied and it often happens for theories to contradict. From historical sources, it is not possible to form a clear image on Dacia: there are very few reliable sources available in order to recreate an exact structure of the Dacian society.
