The geographical area with which this study deals is limited to approximately the Romanian sector of the Danube and the Barbaricum territories largely equivalent to the present Romanian territory. This study seeks to analyse the finds of the Barbaricum coins which are in a direct relationship with those provided by the Danubian limes. The analysis of the coin distribution will be made by separating the coins of Limes from the coins of Barbaricum, and also from the coins of the territories that had been previously occupied by the Romans from those that originated in the territories that had never belonged to the Empire. Basically, the territories in Barbaricum separated in this way conform to the historical Romanian regions. We also distinguish a period when the Goths were in the North of the Danube (till 378 and after 378, until the Huns came into the area); with another period, when the area was controlled by the Huns; then a third period which followed the Huns' defeat (after 454). The numismatic material which I consider includes 1,332 bronze coins, 62 silver coins and 67 gold coins that were single finds from Barbaricum, and a number of ca. 5,100 pieces that were provided by the hoards. The Roman Limes of the Danube, from the Iron Gates to the Danube's mouth, furnish approximately 10,000 single coins and about 20,000 coins that were provided by the hoards. The material at the research's disposal is occasionally difficult to analyse, given that it was published, in several cases, without any other specifications except the information concerning the name of the emperor. A more detailed analysis is impossible without a revision of the studies that were published before the '70s. Until this is done, I have used the data as they were published. For Barbaricum, the main source was the register of the finds from the 4th and the 5th centuries which was analysed by V. Butnariu 1. To this register were added the coins which were discovered in this region mentioned in studies published after 1990, and also a series of new finds that are still unpublished.
