The Function of Roman Coins in the Settlement Environment of the Przeworsk Culture
Abstract: The most numerous group of Roman imports in northern European Barbaricum are coins and which have been recorded in a variety of archaeological contexts. Observations of this category of finds indicate the diversity of their uses and associated interactions with their users. Roman coins are found both in the daily life of the superiores barbari, as well as in the sacred zone which often intermingle. The settlement environment of the population of the Przeworsk culture is an excellent example for this kind of research, indicating the complexity of behavior regarding the use of Roman coins beyond the limes. At the same time, it allows us to trace the role of Roman imports in foreign cultural environments and their influence on the formation of certain elements of the cultural identity of ancient societies.
