The build up of information related to the production and circulation of cast copies of Roman
denarii modelled on first–third-century official types from the territory of the Chernyakhiv archaeological
culture has been reinforcing the tendency towards the formation of new information realities, which
in some cases encourage the revision of established numismatic schemes and traditional theories. The
continuation within the framework of the Moneta Barbaricum programme of a regular monitoring of
Ukrainian internet resources to track and record new finds, has made it possible to carry on verifying and
organizing basic data, and identifying the location of production centres, particularly between the
Middle Dniester and Southern Bug. The growin assemblage of cast coins and metalworking debris (sprues, slag), bars of non-ferrous metal — is being used to develop methods of elemental composition
study of alloys, and quantitative and qualitative statistical analysis; and also, to encourage their transfer
to museum collections. The introduction of new materials related to the production and circulation
of cast copies of Roman denarii of the first–third centuries into the scholarly debate, together with
a comprehensive analysis of sources, are helping to improve our understanding of the political, economic,
and ethno-cultural contacts of the Empire with barbarian tribes on a new factual basis.

The article discusses the results yielded by Particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and X-ray uorescence (XRF) analyses made between 2019 and 2021 of cast copies of Roman denarii and waste from their production recovered in Ukraine. Despite significant differences of methodology these results may in general be regarded as comparable. Attention is drawn in particular to the relative homogeneity of the elemental composition of copper-tin alloys of the finished coins.

«barbarian» territories of South-Eastern Europe —
Roman seal boxes (RSB)- continues to be brought into
scientific circulation. The article provides a general
description and description of whole and fragmented
boxes discovered on the territory of Ukraine,
including those from the collection that is being
prepared for transfer to the State Historical and
Cultural Reserve «Mezhibizh». Also, the presentation
of the primary results of X-ray spectrographic studies
of the elemental composition of metal alloys, from
which the boxes were made, continues.

antique pendant with a cameo found in the
Khmelnytsky region depicting a healthy triad:
Hygeia — the goddess of recovery, Asclepius — her
father — a doctor admitted to the Olympic
celestials, and his son Telesphorus — the god who
was «responsible» for healing and recovering. The
composition of the plot is analyzed, as well as
iconography and styles.
The discovery of a pendant in the confluence of
the Middle Dniester and the Southern Bug can tell
us not only that the cult of the triad of healing gods
spread to the northeast of the Danube Limes. It also
forces another update of the circle of questions,
those related to the presence among local
barbarian tribes of bearers of ancient traditions
and elements of the Ancient worldview. A pendant
with the image of Hygeia, Telesphorus and
Asclepius may complete the statistics of finds of
Greco-Roman and Eastern cults in the area of the
spread of Chernyakhiv culture in the specified
territory.
The pendant with the image of the healthy triad
is of extraordinary historical, artistic and religious
interest as a monument of ancient glyptics,
microplastics, epigraphy, and magical protection
practices. It complements the next page in the
history and development of medicine in Southeast
Europe.

scientific circulation – Roman bronze «seal boxes» for seals. The article describes the whole and fragmented
"boxes" from the collection, which is being prepared for storage in the State Historical and Cultural Reserve
"Mezhibizh". Also, the initial results of Xray spectrography performed on a portable analyzer of the
elemental composition of alloys "EXPERT Mobile" are given.

На цьому тлі,не є винятком проблематика так званих «римських впливів», їх змісту, характеру і ролі в процесах формування та становлення низки археологічних культур цього періоду, і, зокрема, черняхівської. Фактично, ці питання в історичному аспекті розглядались побіжно, в контексті висвітлення інших проблем. В повній мірі це стосується і межиріччя Верхнього і Середнього Подністров’я та Південного Побужжя – як одного з основних районів її формування.Виходячи із важливості теми для відтворення цілісної картини становлення черняхівської культури та недостатньому рівні її розробки, звернення до неї є закономірним і логічним.
Значною мірою інтерес до цього сьогодні актуалізовується продовженням дискусії навколо проблеми можливої римської присутності на територіях східніше Дністра та його лівих притоків. Суперечки продовжують точитися не лише на шпальтах місцевої преси, але й знаходять своє місце на сторінках періодичних та академічних видань. В зв’язку з цим, є сенс систематизувати і провести первісний аналіз історіографії звернень дослідників до даного питання.

On the front side of the seal is the inscription «ДЬИЪСЛОВ-». The inscribe is in Cyrillic, divided into three vertical lines (ДЬ-ИЪСЛО-В-), surrounded by a dot-ribbon rim. When minting, due to the displacement of the plate to the right, the letter «О» traced a half in the second line, and the letter «О» is missing in the third bottom line. A characteristic feature of this seal is the writing of the grapheme «И» at the beginning of the second line. On the reverse side - in a dot-shaped rim/nimbus - the face of a cherub/seraphim in front, with a distinctly modelled hairstyle, surrounded by schematically depicted wings. In the upper part, a dot-shaped rim has preserved. In the lower-left side there are remains of the channel for the cord.
According to the inscription on the front side, the seal from Medzhybizh "ДЬИЪСЛОВ-" is assigned to the sphragistic group of ancient Russian seals " ДЬNЪСЛОВО ", as one of its varieties. V. Yanin, the seal "ДЬNЪСЛОВО" with the likeness of a cherub/seraphim surrounded by schematically depicted wings on the reverse side, is assigned to the 9th typological subgroup.

AD, as well as their relationship with the processes of the emergence and formation of Chernyakhov culture in this region.

According to available information, mostly the coins were concentrated in a limited area with sides of about 15 by 10 meters, and only a few ones were spread by
plowing equipment at a distance of up to 30 meters. The distribution of coins and the
general state of preservation suggests the collected аntoniniani may have been a part of the deposit, which lay at a depth of 25-40 cm, and was made on the day surface due
to the use of more powerful attachments that is used in recent years in the cultivation of agricultural land.
In the following years, another five whole and three fragmented аntoniniani were found. The total number of discovered coins is 44 copies.
Chronologically, the complex is determined by the lower date – 238 A.D. – the issues of Gordian III: «IOVI CONCERVATORI» and «PROVIDENTIA AVG»; and the upper – 251-253 A.D. – the issues of Trebonianus Gallus «PIETAS AVGG» and Voluzian «PAX AVGG». The chronological framework of the complex's emissions is a relatively short period – about 15 years.
The complex became the first fixed and attributed deposit of аntoniniani in the forest-steppe zone of South-Eastern Europe and it is extremely important for understanding the processes of formation of Chernyakhiv culture, as well as, further analysis and development of socio-economic relations of the Roman Empire and «Barbarian» communities in the east of the Danube Limes line.
At the same time, the limited source base makes no sense to draw any
conclusions about the ethnicity or social status of the deposit holder, as well as about possible ways of entering аntoniniani from the complex Perehinka (Balakiri) 2 on the territory of the Ukrainian Forest-Steppe. To receive conditions close to reality it is possible under the condition of detectiono of the closed complex (or its additional inspection) at carrying out full-fledged archeological researches of the given object.
Undoubtedly, one can declare working hypotheses: the аntoniniani came here as prey captured by the «barbarians» during the fighting of 247-251 A.D.; or as a part of the ransom payments promised by Trebonianus Gallus to the «barbaric» tribal or military elite. It can be assumed that the аntoniniani belonged to one of the soldiers of the legions stationed in Moesia, who rebelled and joined the coalition of «barbarian» tribes during the «Scythian» wars, we can appeal to the testimony of Zosimus (Zos., I, 28) about a successful campaign of the Roman units in 253 A.D. those were led by Aemilian, during which not only the detachments of «barbarians» led by Kniva were defeated, but also a successful raid was carried out in their land. It is possible to consider assumptions that the complex could be a part of monetary maintenance of the
serviceman or the veteran of regular or federal divisions… But – concerning each of the above-stated hypotheses it will be possible to find and express equal
argumentation «for» and «against». As with the typology, the deposit is classified as a single-nominal or mixed treasure, as not only denarii but also sesterces and provincial issues are found on the site.
We should also pay attention to another key point. The оbject Perehinka
(Balakiri) 2, territorially belonging to the upper reaches of the Southern Bug, is located in a region characterized not only by high density and extreme saturation of monuments those belong to the Chernyakhiv culture, but also as one of the main areas
its formation. It is here the objects represented by artifacts attesting to their belonging to the early stage of the Chernyakhiv culture are concentrated: Ruzhychanka, Cherneliv-Rusky, Berezhanka, Lepesivka, Luka-Vrublivetska, Chankiv I, and others.
If we take into account the chronology of the early stage of Chernyakhiv
culture- the so-called «ruzhychanka phase» (according to E. Gorokhovsky) – 230-270
A.D.; the «first phase» (according to I. Bazhan and A. Gay), which are generally synchronized with phase C1 of the Central-European chronological system – 220-260 A.D. – then the complex of аntoniniani from Pereginka (Balakiri)2 can be one of its chronological benchmarks, as an example, and аntoniniani Valerian and Trajan Decius (for Gerenia Etruscilla) in one of the burials of the Chernyakhiv necropolis of
Talalayevka (Khrystynivskyi district, Cherkasy region).

Discovered in the interfluve of the Middle Dniester and the Southern Bug, they are of paramount interest to domestic historical science. First of all, this applies to the first, for the area of Chernyakhiv culture of the Antoninian deposit, from the object of the late Roman time Pereginka-BalakiriI I. The treasure, which has 41 coins - from Gordian III to Trebonian Gall, allows to make some adjustments in the understanding of social and economic processes of everyday life of the community that lived in this area in the second third of the III century.
This year, the transfer of collections with bronze ware of the Eggers-Radnoti group to the funds of the Mezhybizh State Conservatory was launched. Work on the cremation items of the 3rd century, found in Khmelnytsky, Vinnytsia and Ternopil regions, and in recent years transferred to storage in the reserve, is carried out jointly with specialists of the Early Slavs and Bioarchaeology of the Institute of Archeology of NASU. The Mezhibizh collection, which already has more than 30 collections with bronze ware from the Eggers-Radnoti group, is the largest in South-Eastern Europe.
In the near future, several fragments of Roman military diplomas are planned to be transferred to the reserve's funds - monuments of Roman epigraphy unique to the European Barbaricum. A study of Roman military diplomas by the TerraAmadociae project, involving leading British and German epigraphists, promises to shift the focus of understanding the Roman Empire's influence on historical processes in the first centuries AD in the northern Danube and Taurida Limes.
Materials from new acquisitions at the Mezhybizh State Conservatory are put into scientific circulation through reports at international conferences in Ukraine, Slovakia, Belarus, publications in specialized publications such as Oium, Ostrogotica, NotaeNumismaticae, Archaeological Readings and Mezhybizh.
