A hoard of Fourth-Fifth Century CE copper coins from Sozousa

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article discusses a hoard of 21 copper issues retrieved during controlled archaeological excavations at the site of Sozousa (Apollonia-Arsūf). The hoard, perhaps a foundation deposit, mostly consists of fourth-century CE coins that, together with other early Byzantine coins recovered from the site, contributes to our understanding of the site's formation, expansion and contraction in the sixth and seventh centuries CE.
