A Roman Republican Denarius from the Early Roman Period Cemetery in Kazimierza Wielka, Świętokrzyskie Province

Abstract: A Republican denarius of Quintus Fabius Labeo, struck in 124 BC, was found during rescue archaeological research conducted at site 12 in Kazimierza Wielka, Świętokrzyskie Province. The coin was discovered in a grave together with fragments of three ceramic vessels. The feature should be dated to the early Roman period. There are other Roman coins known from that town, including denarii of Q. Curtius and M. Silanus, of Trajan, Hadrian and two aurei of Gallienus. Most of the coins discovered to date in Kazimierza Wielka are chance finds. The denarius of Quintus Fabius Labeo is the second coin uncovered by archaeological research to date, and the first from the Republic period found in a grave.
