Abstract


Coin Hoards formed with the last issues in the name of Theodosius and his sons stand out as one of the most important numismatic repositories of ancient Hispania. It comprises a large group of aes hoards and a non negligible list of solidi treasures of Arcadius and Honorius, marking the moment at which the Roman currency in Hispania was frozen, in the early 5th century. This paper studies the most typical of the hoards formed with bronze coins: that which preferably includes maiorinae -the so called AE 2- minted before 395. The unequal distribution pattern of these coins leads to the problema of economic compartimentalisation in the territory and to the probable distribution flows.
