Abstract
In 1963 a hoard said to have been found near Izmir reached Germany in two parts: 1186 coins were acquired by the Prehistoric State Collection in Munich, a further 1052 were listed by Hans-Jörg Kellner and Bernhard Overbeck before their sale, and nine more are in a private collection, 2257 pieces in all. At its core the hoard consists of the issues of the joint reign of Constantius II with Constantius Gallus and then with Julian as Caesar; three later pieces of Valentinian I and Honorius are intruders. Since the latest issues are the small bronzes with Spes Reipublice, the hoard was closed before Julian became Augustus in 361. Striking is the almost complete absence of the Fel Temp Reparatio issues of 348 to 350.
