The paper discusses Roman coins found separately in the outskirts of the town of Spišská Belá (Kežmarok distr.). The analysis showed that the coins are Roman denarii from the 1st – 2nd c., between years 73 and 180 CE. All the coins were found at registered archaeological sites attributed to the northern Carpathian group dated back to the turn of the 4th and 5th c. Most likely, the coins were not in circulation so deep in Barbaricum. Instead, they had been gathered and transferred through generations, and the precious metal they were made of – silver – was later secondarily used. This hypothesis is corroborated by finds of numerous coins with broken edges including seven denarii from Spišská Belá. The secondary use of older Roman denarii by people belonging to the northern Carpathian group was confirmed at numerous sites in Spiš (e.g. the hoard from Žehra, Temná Cave) or Liptov but also in Czechia, Lesser Poland, Ukraine and Upper Silesia.
