Archaeologists puzzled after finding 1,400-year-old coin jar

Archaeologists were stunned when they unearthed a 1,400-year-old jar of coins, suspected to have been buried in a tragedy that changed the land.

Renamed in honor of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, Hadrianopolis (now Eskipazar in Türkiye's Black Sea region) was originally founded by the Hittites. Photo: @Karabük University.

The ruins of this ancient Roman city have been continuously excavated since 2003, uncovering 14 public buildings, including two baths, a theater and two churches. The 2018 excavations uncovered the remains of one of the oldest churches, dating back to the 5th century and decorated with intricate mosaic floors. Photo: @Karabük University.

The ancient city of Adrianopolis was an important ecclesiastical administrative center, and several famous religious figures were born or lived here, making Adrianopolis an extremely popular pilgrimage site. Photo: @Karabük University.

These are ten coins estimated to be around 1,400 years old, contained in an earthenware jar. The coins date back to the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Constans II. Photo: @Karabük University.

Perhaps this was not a treasure trove intentionally hidden or buried, but more like a local family's piggy bank. Photo: @Karabük University.

Also during the 2018 excavations, evidence was found that the city of Hadrianopolis was suddenly abandoned in the 7th century AD. It seems that the inhabitants here disappeared from the city overnight for unknown reasons. Perhaps the small amount of money was left behind in this catastrophic event. Photo: @Karabük University.
