Stone constructions were discovered during the archeological research by the Municipal Monument Preservation Institute in Bratislava at the Celtic oppidum‘s acropolis, in the Northern part of the Bratislava Castle Hill, in the remaining parts of the Baroque Winter Riding Hall, in 2008 – 2010. They were built using Roman construction technology (‘Roman building I’). Its foundations, overground walls with plaster, as well as fragments of paving, remained preserved. In the building’s ruins, numerous Roman amphorae fragments, fragments of the Hellenistic glass bowl, a seal box and 22 Celtic coins were found. They were minted in the Bratislava oppidum in the 1st half of the 1st century B. C.: 15 staters, 9 of which have the inscription BIATEC, 4 with the inscription NONNOS, 2 without an inscription, 4 tetradrachms with the inscriptions BIATEC and NONNOS, and 3 Simmering type drachms. The analysis of the coins determined the period of the rise and fall, as well as the function of the building. It was built in the period of the Bratislava oppidum’s maximum development, before the middle of the 1st century B. C. Probably, it had an administrative and trade function. Its construction was managed by Roman experts. Roman masters also participated in the Bratislava Celtic oppidum‘s minting activities. The oppidum’s importance decreased significantly after the war between Celts (Boii) and Dacians around 40 B. C., mainly because of an interruption of trade contacts with the Mediterranean world. The minting of the Bratislava tetradrachms ended in that time. The political power of Bratislava’s Celts was weakened by Noricum, sustained by Rome. The oppidum’s end, around the break of the century, was caused by the Roman military invasion of territories around the confluence of the Danube and Moravia, mainly the Tiberius campaign, in 6 A. D., and the following Roman-German interactions.

The study addresses the localisation of the hoard of Celtic coins discovered on the land of S. Ormosdy in a suburb of Bratislava in 1776. Written reports on the find from the period (J. H. Eckhel, K. G. von Windisch) and their comparison with information on S. Ormosdy’s land ownership history in historical-topographic material, church registers, official town books and historical maps are used for the purpose of determining the location. A critical analysis of preserved sources clearly indicates that the hoard was situated in the Blumentál suburb, specifically in the space demarcated by today’s Belopotockého, Mýtna, Povraznícka and Žilinská streets. From the perspective of the structure of the Late La Tène settlement agglomeration, the area belonged to the ‘satellite settlement’ near Námestie slobody (Freedom Square), where three additional hoard of Celtic coins were found in 1927, 1937 and 1942.
