Popis: |
Archaeological site of Pakoštane – Crkvina is situated at the west coast of the Vrana Lake, in the vicinity of Croatian coastal town Zadar. Site has been excavated by the Department of Archaeology of the University of Zadar from 2006 till 2014. Remnants of medieval sacral complex comprising of church of St. Mary with lateral rooms, cemetery and fence wall were discovered. Among numerous other finds, coins are very indicative for the life span of the site that was abandoned after Venetian-Turkish Wars. Coins found so far are covering wide chronological range from the 4th to 19th century with majority that can be dated from the 13th to 16th century. Origins and types of coins are various – Byzantine gold coins, coins minted in different Italian cities (Padova, Aquileia, Pisa) and Venetian Republic, Hungarian, Bavarian pfennigs and Austro- Hungarian kreutzers. Among regular coins there are also some forgeries. This numismatic material represents a reflection of historical and commercial activities of the wider Mediterranean region, including the city of Zadar and its wider surrounding which comprises the site of Pakoštane – Crkvina as its inseparable part. |
