| Summary: | In 2014, a group of silver objects was sold with the accompanying data “from
Serbia, from the area of Mačvanska Mitrovica”, which, based on their
composition, belonged to a hoard of the Early Roman period. The hoard of
silver objects contains a total of 21 pieces that can be divided into 10
different types: emblemata, belt plates, tubuli, torques, wire jewellery - a
bracelet and rings, necklaces of the chain type, rings, pendants of lunula,
rhomboidal and omega shape, bracelet and rings with pendants in the form of
miniature axes. The composition of the silver objects in the Mačvanska
Mitrovica (?) hoard show surprising similarities with the rich hoards of
silver jewellery of Bare, Tekija and the find from Radenković-Crkvine and
also with the distant hoard from Oltenia in the site of Rovinari (once
Poiana, county Gorj). Therefore, we have named this group the Tekija - Bare
hoards horizon, after two well-known most representative hoard-contents and
their position in the middle of this geographical region. The last denarii
from the Tekija and Bare hoards where minted at the end of AD 81, which
allows the conclusion that these hoards, found near the military camps of
Transdierna and Viminacium, were probably deposited in the years after AD 81,
during the restless period of Roman-Dacian conflicts. In the Mačvanska
Mitrovica (?) hoard and the Radenković-Crkvine find the monetary part did not
exist, so the time of their depositing remains open. [Project of the Serbian
