Approximate statistics for particular types and subtypes of coins were de- termined based on an examination of the hoard prior to cleaning and conservation of the coins. Preliminary conclusions concerning the hoard have also been presented. Key words: Rhizon/Risinium, Ballaios, hoard of coins Excavations carried out in Risan in 2010 by the Center for Research on the Antiquity of Southeastern Europe of the University of Warsaw brought to light a hoard containing 4656 coins issued by Ballaios,2 an Illyrian king known from no other source except his monetary issues. Some of these issues bear his name alone, while others add the title of basileus (BAΣIΛEΩΣ). His actual ruler status is not clear, however, given what is known of the Il- lyrian state, the nature of state-building processes in the Balkans in the 4th through 2nd century BC and the intertribal relations in the region. The numismatic evidence has given several indications, possibly also with regard to the years of his reign, and the importance of this has hardly been belittled by the fact that many of the coins found previously had no exact provenance. Apparent concentrations of the king’s coins in certain regions could suggest places of production which could subsequently be tied in with territories under his rule, while the distribution of the coins can help to map the extent of his kingdom. Generally speaking, Ballaios seems to have ruled over the eastern shore of the Adriatic, from Kotor Bay in the south to Pharos island in the north.3 One can distinguish a number of basic types and several variants among the known coins of this king. On the whole, Arthur Evans’ view that particular types of coins were apparently limited to specific regions should be upheld. The type with standing Artemis 1 This important find is signaled here following 2 On the circumstances of the discovery, see KOWAL a preliminary appraisal of the coins before cleaning 2010, pp. 46–48. and conservation. I am deeply indebted to the staff 3 EVANS 1880; RENDIć-MIOčEVIć 1964, p. 86; of the Center for Research on the Antiquity of MAROVIć 1988, p. 97; GORINI 1989, pp. 28–29; Southeastern Europe, University of Warsaw, for GORINI 1990, pp. 319–321; UJES, KOVAčEVIć 1992, making this research possible, and to Prof. Piotr pp. 9–10; UJES 1993, pp. 7–8. Dyczek in particular for his generous assistance. 8 on the reverse is connected with Pharos, that with a walking Artemis with Rhizon. The iconography of the king’s portrait could be an indication of Ballaios’ true appearance.4 Coins of Ballaios, single finds as well as hoards, have been reported from Risan since the second half of the 19th century. five bigger assemblages containing only the king’s coins are currently known; a sixth assemblage contains also other issues beside the royal ones. A few other coin deposits containing only Ballaios’ issues have been found outside Risan and outside the Kotor Bay area. four of the assemblages from Risan, discovered before World War II, contained from a few to a hundred coins apiece. Their current location is largely untraceable. The fifth hoard, now in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, has been studied and published. It contained also 10 coins issued by an autonomous Rhizon mint,5 providing priceless data on the chronology of the coins and their mutual relations. Regular excavations by the Center for Research on the Antiquity of Southeastern Europe of the University of Warsaw yielded more coins of Ballaios and a relatively large group of coins of the autonomous PIΣO type.6 The “great hoard” discovered in 2010, while not the first from Risan, is definitely the largest — 4656 pieces, weighing altogether close to 15 kilograms.7 As a matter of fact, it is one of the biggest hoards of ancient coins known, not only from Illyria.8 The overall number of coins of Ballaios now in existence suggests a greater than previously anticipated importance of this king and Rhizon under his rule, especially in the context of the history of the Illyrian state and the tribes related to the Illyrians. More importantly in the case of this find, the hoard was found in situ, in a clay jar of local production, hidden under a stone flagging inside a room otherwise undistinguished by its size or furnishings [fig. 1]. A layer of burning on the floor is indicative of unrest in the town when the hoard was secreted away — perhaps a raid by pirates or an attack by another tribe, possibly internal strife, but equally well a calamitous conflagration that de- stroyed the settlement. The circumstances of deposition of the hoard suggest the owner had been pressed for time. Obviously, he never returned to retrieve his property. A cursory examination of the coins pending cleaning have shown that the hoard con- sisted of “bronze” pieces exclusively with not a single example in evidence of the one sil- ver issue that Ballaios appears to have minted in small quantities. It seems that it will be possible to identify separate series struck with the same die, a feat previously not accom- plished due to the poor condition of most previous finds. Comparison of the die stamps should pinpoint the date of issue of the “great hoard” from Risan and determine a relative chronology for particular types. This is a unique circumstance, despite the short period of time that the determination will concern. Secondly and most importantly, the set includes only coins issued at Rhizon, and more- over, only one or at the most two subtypes [fig. 2]. All bear the king’s portrait facing left on the obverse and a figure of Artemis walking to left on the reverse. Other subtypes and variants are known in the case of coins of the Rhizon type, but in the present hoard this one subtype predominates, constituting 84% of all of the coins [fig. 3]. It was also possible 4 More on the subject in CIOłEK 2011. preliminary observations, will be possible after the 5 GORINI 1991, pp. 28–31. coins are cleaned and conserved by specialists from 6 The type has been characterized in CIOłEK 2011.

The latter constitutes only a few percent of the coins in the hoard [fig. 4]. Unidentifiable coins due to poor preser- vation (corrosion, contamination) or lumping made up only 13% of the hoard (and this could change after the coins have been cleaned and conserved). A single piece from this assemblage did not fit the mold as it was a Greek coin with the head of Heracles in lion’s skin to left on the obverse and Pegasus flying to right with the letters [.]ΣO[?..] on the reverse. This kind of coin was issued by Dyrrhachium in 300–229 BC. The coin from the Risan hoard is well preserved, although the letters on the reverse are difficult to read because of the small diameter of the piece. There is no doubt that it was part of the hoard and did not make its way into the assemblage by chance or due to a contaminated archaeological context. fig. 1. “Great hoard” at the time of discovery fig.

It places Roman decision-making and action within its proper context by emphasizing the role that Greek polities and Illyrian tribes played in both the outbreak and conclusion of the war. It argues that the primary motivation behind the Roman decision to declare war against the Ardiaei in 229 was to secure the very profitable trade routes linking Brundisium to the eastern shore of the Adriatic. It was in fact the failure of the major Greek powers to limit Ardiaean piracy that led directly to Roman intervention. In the earliest phase of trans-Adriatic engagement Rome was essentially uninterested in expansion or establishing a formal hegemony in the Greek East and maintained only very loose ties to the polities of the eastern Adriatic coast.

  • The Hungarian Historical Review
    Hungarian Historical Review 3, no. 3 (2014): 494–528 Antal Molnár A Forgotten Bridgehead between Rome, Venice, and the Ottoman Empire: Cattaro and the Balkan Missions in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries A key element in the history of the missions that departed from Rome as of the middle of the sixteenth century is the functioning of the mediating structures that ensured the maintenance of the relationship between Rome as the center of the Holy Roman Empire and the territories where the missionaries did their work. On the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea, Ragusa, which today is the city of Dubrovnik, was the most important bridgehead, but Cattaro, today Kotor, also played a significant role as a point of mediation between Rome and the Ottoman Empire. My intention in this essay is to present the many roles of Cattaro in the region, focusing in particular on its role in the maintenance of communication between Rome and missions to the Balkans. Cattaro never lost its Balkan orientation, even following the weakening of economic ties and the loss of its episcopal jurisdiction, which had extended over parishes in Serbia in the Middle Ages. Rather, in the sixteenth century it grew with the addition of a completely new element. From 1535 to 1786 Cattaro was the most important center of the postal service between Venice and Istanbul. As of 1578, the management of the Istanbul post became the responsibility of the Bolizza family. Thus the family came to establish a wide network of connections in the Balkans. I examine these connections and then offer an analysis of the plans concerning the settlement of the Jesuits in Cattaro.

  • Map 20 Pannonia-Dalmatia Compiled by P. Kos and M. Šašel Kos, 1995
    Map 20 Pannonia-Dalmatia Compiled by P. Kos and M. Šašel Kos, 1995 Introduction The map covers very heterogeneous landscapes ranging from the Adriatic coast to the Alps, and from the mountainous interiors of the provinces of Dalmatia and Pannonia with their rich ore sources to the Pannonian plain. The current state of research–to some degree reflected by the map–is uneven. Thus the Carinthian province of Austria (Piccottini 1989), Slovenia (ANSl 1975), and Bosnia and Herzegovina (ALBiH) are better explored topographically than other regions where no compilations of archaeological sites have been published. The results of topographical research conducted over the past thirty years by Bojanovski (1988) are of great importance. Much antiquarian and topographic information has been collected for Histria and Venetia by Vedaldi Iasbez (1994), with particular attention to Greek and Latin writers. Similarly substantial collection and assessment of data for the Dalmatian coast and islands are provided by Kozličić (1990). TIR Tergeste (1961), TIR Aquincum (1968) and TIR Naissus (1976) are also of value for the areas they cover, though not always reliable. Mócsy’s work (RE Suppl. 9 Pannonia) remains fundamental for the province of Pannonia. As Kozličić (1986) has shown, since antiquity geomorphological changes along the Dalmatian and Istrian coasts have been minimal, if only because no very large rivers flow into the Adriatic; the map therefore retains the modern coastline. The coast of the eastern Adriatic is, however, sinking at a minimal rate annually (Šegota 1976). Geographic names by no means always appear in the nominative in the Greek and Latin sources; the point applies especially to ItAnt, ItBurd, TabPeut and GeogRav, which often represent the only evidence.

  • Ljiljana Stošić the Bay of Cattaro (Kotor)
    Ljiljana Stošić DOI: 10.2298/BALC1445187S Original scholarly work Institute for Balkan Studies Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts Belgrade The Bay of Cattaro (Kotor) School of Icon-Painting 1680–1860 Abstract: Relying on post-Byzantine tradition, eleven painters from five generations of the Dimitrijević-Rafailović family, accompanied by Maksim Tujković, painted several thousand icons and several hundred iconostases between the late seventeenth and the second half of the nineteenth century. They worked in major Orthodox Chris- tian monasteries in Montenegro, Kosovo and Metohija, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Dalmatia, but their works can mostly be found in modest village churches in the Bay of Kotor (Cattaro) and on the South Adriatic coast. The decoration of these churches was financially supported by the local population headed by elders. Along with a re- construction of their biographies and a chronological overview of their major works, this paper seeks to trace stylistic changes in the Bay of Kotor school of icon-painting. While simply varying a thematic repertory established in earlier periods, the painters from the Bay of Kotor were gradually introducing new details and themes adopted from Western European Baroque art under indirect influences coming from the monastery of Hilandar, Corfu, Venice and Russia. This process makes this indigenous school of icon-painting, which spanned almost two centuries, comparable to the work of Serbian traditional religious painters (zografs) and illuminators active north of the Sava and Danube rivers after the Great Migration of the Serbs (1690). Despite differences between the two, which resulted from different cultural and historical circumstances in which Serbs lived under Ottoman, Venetian and Habsburg rules, similarities in iconography and style, which were inspired by an urge to counteract proselytic pressures, are considerably more important.
