Aspekte des Münzumlaufs im vorrömischen Dakien

Abstract

From the second century BC Rome's interests in the eastern Mediterranean, and especially in the Balkan peninsula, made themselves felt ever more forcibly; extensive trade relations existed before that, but the most important partner until then had been Greece. After the victory over Antiochus in 190 and the battle of Pydna in 168, western Asia Minor and Macedonia came fully under Roman influence, and with them the Dacian tribes north of the Danube. During the period of Greek predominance the favoured money in Dacia from the fourth century onward was, besides coins of cities such as Kyzikos and Larissa, above all the issues of Philip II and Alexander. When the wars of the successors brought a shortage of coin, the Dacian tribes began striking their own as close imitations of the Greek models.
