Celtic Tetradrachms of the Kugelreiter Type** PETERKOS* CELTIC TETRADRACHMS OF THE KUGELREITER TYPE** -4bstract: The author collected the evidence of al1 Celtic tetradrachms of the Kugelreiter type (the earliest tetradrachnis attributed to the Celtic tribe of the Taurisci) with known provenance. On the basis of die studies, he established the relative sequence of their niinting. Two distribution groups of tetradrachms of this type emerged (one centred in southeastern Austrian Carinthia (Karnten), the second in the area of northeastern Italy), indicating at least two production centres and also indicating chronological differences. The recent proposal of an abiolute chronology by G. Gorini was also disputed. In 1973, at the time of the publication of R. Gobl's fundamental Typologie und Chronologie der kelfischen Münzpragung in Noricum, there Kas only a very scarce documentation for the coins of the Kugelreiter t?-pe. This was the earliest type of silver tetradrachms that are by K. Pink attributed to the Celtic tribe of the Taurisci and by R. Gobl to that of the Sorici:' seven coins of his group Al (minted with five obverse and seven reverse dies), three coins of his group AA1 (minted with one obverse and one reverse die), eight specimens of his group BI (minted with five ubverse and four reverse dies). Six coins of his later groups Cl and C2a cminted with two obverse and four reverse dies) were also documented." The hoard of Haimburg which was discovered in 1972 and published in 1989, brought to light a further 206 specimens of Gobl's earlier groups -11, AA1 and BI of coins of Kugelreifer type,:' and when later some fur- ther specimens from the hoard appeared on the market, this type of coins increased to at least 230 specimens."hey were minted with 5 obverse * Peter Kos, Narodni miizej Slovenije, Preiernova 20, SI-1000 Ljubljana; email: [email protected]. ** Research conducted in the scope of the Trouvailles monétaires (GDRE).

An additional 30 tetradrachms in the hoard were of the "east Norican = Tauriscan"' FES type that gives the hoard of I-Iaimhrg further significance. In 1998 additional evidence for the minting of coins of the Kugelreiter type came to light through the discovery of the hoard of Enemonzo i~i the northeastern part of Ital~.~ This hoard shows a much more diverse typology of coins of the Kugelrei- ter type than the Haimburg hoard does. It comprises, besides 359 Roman Kepublican victoriati, a furher 40 Kugelreiter tetradrachms of generally three groups: 3 coins of group TKN B1c;Qhe majority of coins in the hoard (32 specimens) are of group TKN C2a;1° while five coins are of group TKN C2b, erroneously attributed by Gorini to Gobl's group Ald." 17 coins puhlished I-)y Gorini in Appendix II to his monograph as << con tutta probabilitu facevano parie del ripostiglio di Enemonzo O are most likely not part of this hoard.12 They are in al1 probability part of the Hainiburg hoard, which was at the time of its discovery (1972) only partly docu- mented, and coins from it still appear in the market.'? G. Gorini, when analyzing the hoard of Enemonzo in detail, had many more coins of the Kugelreiter type at his disposa1 than R. Gobl, especially the later group of these coins. For that reason he undertook to recon- struct minutely the sequence of dies for minting this type of "Norican" silver coins. He proposed the following relative chronological sequence of minting for tetradrachms of the Kugelreiter type: " As we have argued elsewhere, his no 159 is not part of the hoard (P. KOS,Sonder- tgpus dur Kugelreiferm~irizr- Fundort Aquileia und nichf Schutzfund uon Haimburq!, in IMONG, 49, 2009, Heft Nr. 2, p. 1-5). %. GOBL, Haimburq [n. 31, p. 27. ' R. GOBL, TKiV [n. 21, was dividirig the rninting into "west-Norican" and "east- Norican". Later (R. GOBL,Hexadrachnlenpragung [n. 31, p. 37) he was detcrrnining the "west-Norican" group as the coinage of Norici and the "east-Yorican" group as the coinage of 'l'aurisci. G.

CELTIC TETKADRACHMS OF TIIE KI'GELREITER TYPE 75 Gorini's phase A 1 - The earliest coins as represented in the hoard of Haimburg (groups TKLVAl, AA1, Bla, Blb). Gorini's phase B 2 - Coins with typical damage to the upper third hair lock on the obverse (group TKATBl c). 3 - Non-epigraphic coins as represented in the hoard of Enemonzo In-ithout damage on cheek) (group TKN C2a). 1 - Coins showring big leaves of the laure1 wreath (group TKN C2b). 5 - Coins with damage on cheek (group TKN C2a). Gorini's phase C 6 - Coins showing the Venetic letter X on the reverse (group C2a)l4. Gorini's proposa1 for the relative chronological sequence of coins in the hoard of Enemonzo deserves a brief comment: 1) Group Gobl, TKN Blc (Gorini's obverse die Dl; reverse dies R6a, R15a)15 Only one of these two reverse dies was originally known to Gobl in TKN. It was, however, linked with a different obverse than that in the hoard of Enemonzo.lh The new obverse with the typical damage to the upper third hair lock and the second reverse die were later documented by Gobl in the publication of the hoard of Haimburg." Cndouhtedly this group of coins is a later derivation of coins rep- resented in the Haimburg hoard, where the obverse die is showing the beginning of damage in the area of the third hair lock but is still linked with the normal reverse die.I8 Gorini classified this group as the very last issue appearing in the Haimburg hoard.lWne obverse and two reverse dies of this group documented in the Enemonzo hoard must have evi- dently been produced after the deposition of Haimburg hoard, since Blb coins with the early damage on the third lock in the Haimburg hoard (obverse die 2a)"' do not yet exhibit damage on the neck appearing on a later obverse die for minting the Blc group of coins (die 2b)." Later this damage on the neck appears only on coins in the Enemonzo hoard. '' G. GORISI,Enemonzo [n. 41, p. 28-29. '" Ibid., nos 8, 9, 38. '%. GOBI., TKS [n. 21, pl. 2 no 6 (rev. die 16x). " R.

" Ibid., pl. 2 no 6. 76 PETER KOS One coin of this type, obtained from the coin dealer G. Bernardi in Trieste, should be, according to Gobl, also part of the 1-Iaimburg hoard. The coin, however, was found in Aquileia before 1968.22Therefore, the coin cannot be taken into consideration as part of Haimburg hoard and must not be treated as a link between the hoards of Enemonzo and Haimburg as stated by G~rini.~~ 2) Group Gobl, TKN C2a (Gorini's obverse die 02 [with damage on the cheek]; reverse dies Rvla, Rv3a, RvSa, RvSa, Rv9a and obverse die D4; reverse dies Rvl3a [without letter], Rv4a and Rvl4a [letter XI) This group represents the nucleus of the Celtic coins in the Enemonzo hoard. Gorini postulated the use of two different obverse dies, the earlier one showing damage on the cheek.'"xact comparison of the obverse dies of al1 32 specimens, however, confirms the use of only one obverse die, on which at a later stage damage to the cheek in the form of a short line appeared (24 specimens).'" specimens display no damage on the obverse." On 26 specimens (24 specimens with damage on the obverse, 2 specimens without damage) the normal Kugelreiter is depicted on their reverse. On 6 specimens without damage on the obverse the letter T (the Venetic letter X) appears on the reverse. Altogether 5 reverse dies were used in this group. Gobl listed in this group only coins with the Venetic letter X since the coins without legend were at that time not documented for this gr~up.~~ The detailed analysis confirms the 30 years old hypothesis for the rela- tive sequence of the use of different reverse dies of group C2a, as expressed in the publication of a part of the Most na SoEi hoard." Chronologically the first were coins with the Venetic letter X; this can be proven by an almost unworn obverse die, which does not yet show any damage on the cheek.

Oleson, Department of Greek and Roman Studies Supervisor Dr. Gregory D. Rowe, Department of Greek and Roman Studies Departmental Member During the last stages of the Marcommani Wars in the late second century A.D., Roman literary sources recorded that the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was planning to annex the Germanic territory of the Marcomannic and Quadic tribes. This work will propose that Marcus Aurelius was going to create a province called Marcomannia. The thesis will be supported by archaeological data originating from excavations in the Roman installation at Mušov, Moravia, Czech Republic. The investigation will examine the history of the non-Roman region beyond the northern Danubian frontier, the character of Roman occupation and creation of other Roman provinces on the Danube, and consult primary sources and modern research on the topic of Roman expansion and empire building during the principate. iv Table of Contents Supervisory Committee .....................................................................................................

Occurrence of Ophraella communa in 2017 at 79 sites from north-eastern Italy, western Slovenia and north-western Croatia. Seventy-seven sites with or without the presence of O. communa on Ambrosia artemisiifolia are listed. At two of these sites, each marked with one asterisk (*), O. communa was found on both A. artemisiifolia and Xanthium orientale italicum. In addition, at two sites, each marked with two asterisks (**), O. communa was found on Helianthus annuus and Erigeron canadensis alone, respectively. Localities, dates of observation, habitats and presence/absence of different stages of O. communa are given. Stages of O. communa observed: A: adult; E: egg; L: larva; P: pupa in the cocoon. No beetles: no O. communa eggs or specimens at any development stage present on the host plant. Damage levels to host plant: 0, no trace of feeding damage but adults or eggs of the beetle present; 1, light feeding damage on a few leaves; 2, feeding damage on some leaves; 3, many leaves with feeding damage; 4, defoliation, plants partially dried; 5, complete defoliation and reproductive structures injured. Population levels of O. communa observed per site: very low, less than 5-10 individuals or rare egg clusters; low, less than 20 individuals active, some egg clusters; middle, more than 20 individuals active, several egg clusters; high, massive presence of any of the development stages.

  • On Three Spearheads with Decorated Blades from the South-Eastern Periphery of the Alps
    On three spearheads with decorated blades from the south-eastern periphery of the Alps By Andrej Gaspari and Boštjan Laharnar Keywords: Late La Tène period / Late pre-Roman Iron Age / spearheads / Slovenia / Mokronog group / Taurisci / Cimbri / Oksywie culture / Przeworsk culture / Oppida culture Schlagwörter: Spätlatènezeit / späte vorrömische Eisenzeit / Speerspitzen / Slowenien / Mokro- nog Gruppe / Taurisker / Kimbern / Oksywie Kultur / Przeworsk Kultur / Oppida Kultur Mots-clés: La Tène tardif / époque pre-romaine tardive / fers de lance / Slovénie / groupe Mokronog / Taurisci / Cimbri / culture Oksywie / culture Przeworsk / culture d'oppida Introduction The regions inhabited by the south-eastern Alpine cultural groups of the La Tène period revealed relatively rare objects that could be brought into connection with either the influence or presence of the peoples from northern Europe. They include three stray finds of spearheads with decorated blades, one found at Britof near Kranj and two in the Ljubljanica riverbed (fig. 1). These will be discussed in greater detail below by taking a closer look at how their dec- oration was executed and where to find their closest parallels, in an attempt to establish their spatial and historical context. The Britof spearhead has close similarities to finds from Pomer- ania and eastern Scandinavia, which indicates its most probable origin in the area of the Oksy- wie culture of the late part of the pre-Roman Iron Age. The two spearheads from the Ljubljan- ica are of a rare form, but similar to those in use across wide areas between the south-western edges of the Alps and the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. Both objects are most likely the products of the La Tène culture workshops, but draw their geometric and sunken scale deco- ration from the array of designs on the spearheads characteristic of the Przeworsk and Oksy- wie cultures.

  • The Story of the Grateful Wolf and Venetic Horses in Strabo's Geography
    Th e story of the grateful wolf and Venetic horses in Strabo’s Geography Marjeta Šašel Kos Strabo (the Greek historian and geographer of the Augustan Age) reported that the sanctuary of the Greek hero Diomedes, to whom the ancient Veneti used to sacrifi ce a white horse, was located in the area of the sacred site at the Timavus River where it fl ows into the Adriatic. In this passage Strabo also narrated the (aetiological) story of a wolf, which had been saved from the nets of hunters by a well-to-do man. As an act of gratitude, the wolf (which may be regarded as a prototype of a fi gure corresponding to the Master of the Wolves) drove off a herd of unbranded horses and brought them to the stable of his benefactor. Th ese horses proved to be a superior breed, and indeed the Venetic horses were well known in the Graeco-Roman world as excellent racing horses; horse-breeding and trade in horses were two important economic activities among the Veneti. Strabo’s data are confi rmed by other literary sources, as well as by archaeological and epigraphic fi nds. Th e story One of the fi rst more detailed descriptions of the Venetic regions is preserved in Strabo’s Geography. Strabo from Amaseia, the capital of the former kingdom of Pontus in Asia Minor, which came under partial Roman rule under Pompey the Great, was an im- portant Greek historian and geographer of the Augustan Age.1 His historical work, titled Historical Sketches, is lost and only his Geography in 17 books is preserved, in which the Roman Empire and even regions beyond are described in considerable detail.
