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.

The Roman auxiliary fortress of Ala Nova on the Danube is situated at the Eastern border of the territory of Vindobona. It was build under the Severans as a seat of a cohors equitata. Regular Roman coin circulation started according to the foundation date not before AD 210. The circulation pattern during the Severan period is very similar to those of the legionary camps of Vindobona and Carnuntum, where the coin finds slightly increase under Septimius Severus. After 231 there is a decrease in the coin curve that turns out to be a pattern reaching from the Germanic border and the municipia of Iuvavum and Lauriacum until the Norican and Pannonian ripa coincident to the Germanic migration movement. The following period is characterised by a significantly low amount of coin finds in Ala Nova, which is completely different to Carnuntum and Vindobona. In this respect a coin hoard closing AD 278 may indicate temporary instability on site. However, there is a strongly increasing number of coin finds in the military camps of Vindobona and Carnuntum during this period, which can be explained by changing settlement structure. The canabae legionis of different places in this region such as Vindobona, Carnuntum or Lauriacum were abandonned and people more and more settled within the walls of the legionary camps. During the tetrarchic and constantinian period only few coins were found in Ala Nova, which probably witnesses a drop in population or a reduction of troops. There is also a decreasing amount of coin finds in Vindobona and Carnuntum at the same time. The last period of Ala Nova shows a similar rise in the coin curve as in Vindobona and Carnuntum, which indicates a regular Roman coin circulation until at least the first half of the 5th century.
