Abstract
In the region of Ankara a larger find of Roman bronze coins of the third and fourth centuries was recovered, reached the German trade and could be examined more closely: 885 pieces, 576 antoniniani and 309 folles, running from Aurelian to Constantine I. According to the owner it is a closed find, completely recovered, which the composition and the uniform green patina confirm for all but two pieces; all the coins are well preserved and could be identified. The breakdown by ruler allows the date of burial to be determined with fair certainty: Ankara belonged at first to Diocletian's share of the empire, passed in 305 to Galerius and in 311 to Maximinus Daia, until Licinius defeated him at Tzirallum in 313 and he had to abandon Asia Minor.
