A Hoard of Fourth–Fifth Century CE Copper Coins from Sozousa

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.
