| Summary: | A common problem that occurs when interpreting finds of perforated Roman
coins is whether they had been perforated in Roman times or later. Hence, the
specimens that originate from an undisturbed archaeological context, as is
the case with finds from the Viminacium necropolis of Više Grobalja, are
indispensable. A total of 47 perforated coins were discovered: 31 with a
single and 16 with three perforations. The analysis of the context of the
finds, in some specimens, allows the confident assertion that they had
constituted a part of jewellery. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike
