Constans - Siscia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) SISCIA (Sisak, Croatia (Hrvatska) - 45°29'N, 16°23'E), situated on the island Segesta at the confluence of the Kupa and Sava Rivers, was the main town of the Segestanoi, Illyrians who had absorbed Celtic influences. The Romans temporarily took Siscia in 119 BC but did not "permanently" control it until Augustus made it part of Illyricum in 35 BC. Vespasian established a colony for fleet veterans, and the city became the provincial capital of Pannonia Savia in the late third century. kevinscoins.ancients.info /Memp/constans/siscia.htm   (124 words)

City of Sisak, Grad Sisak, Croatia, Europe Siscia was the capital town of the Province of Pannonia Savia, where 40,000 inhabitants resided.

bastina   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) The Flavia Siscia colony was established after Octavian occupied these parts of the Pannonian territory in 35 BC- Due to its strategic significance connected with the navigable Kupa and Sava rivers, Siscia became in the course of the I century the most important military outpost, a starting point for conquering the East. The urban agglomeration of Siscia is located on the left bank of the River Kupa on a surface of 40 ha inside the city walls. The Flavia Siscia colony was one of the key cities of the Roman empire in the Pannonia province. www.min-kulture.hr /bastina/upravazkb/donacije/donacije5.htm   (644 words)

City Museum Sisak - PERMANENT EXHIBITION / COLLECTIONS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Roman Siscia developed on the left side of Kupa, in the area above which the older part of the modern city is located nowadays. For the first several decades Siscia was an important military base but from the 1st century onwards, civilian significance of the town increases. Emperor Gallienus (253-268.) established a coin in Siscia, which was used with several interruptions until the late 80's of the 4th century (according to some authors, even in the time of the emperor Honorius, i.e. www.muzej-sisak.hr /eng/stalni_antika.php   (490 words)

SISSEK - LoveToKnow Article on SISSEK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Augustus made it a military station; Tiberius chose it as his headquarters against the Pannonian rebels; and from Septimius Severus, who made it the centre of a military government, it gained the name of Septimia Sissia. A Segesta, on the Save, is mentioned by Appian, and Strabo distinguishes between this town and the neighboring Siscia. In the 3rd century, under Gallienus and Probus, the city contained the chief imperial mint and treasury; and an engraved coffer, found in Croatia, dating from the 4th century, and representing the five foremost cities of the Empire, includes Siscia along with Rome, Byzantium, Carthage and Nicomedia. www.1911encyclopedia.org /S/SI/SISSEK.htm   (337 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Interestingly, RIC and Cohen catalogue a similar ROMAE AET ERNAE aureus of Tacitus with radiate crown at Siscia, though there is no S C in the reverse exergue (cf. Siscia was the prime mint in terms of output during Tacitus’ reign, as testament to the ongoing military situation with the Goths along the frontier. As further testament, West (Gold and Silver Coin Standards in the Roman Empire, ANSNNM 94 (1941)) observed that the typical weight standard of Tacitus’ aurei, of 70 per pound, was not applicable at Siscia. www.wildwinds.com /coins/ric/tacitus/RIC_0205cf.txt   (175 words)

Probus,  Emperor 276-282   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) The iconography makes sense if you accept that Probus was born somewhere in the vicinity of Siscia, or at least in the province. As the twins were the foundation of the Roman state, so Siscia was the birthplace of the re-founder. Since the two cities were close by and there was no mint in Sirmium it could be that the mint officials in Siscia decided to claim the birthright. www.mycoinpage.com /DawsonLewis/Pages/Prb-0061.htm   (200 words)

Officina Late Roman coins were minted at numerous mints and each mint was subdivided into "officinae" (plural, "officina" singular)-- workshops that were more or less separate. However, at Siscia in 289-290 they took on an unusual form on one issue. Siscia had 3 officinae, commonly denoted with the first three Greek letters, A, B, and Γ (alpha, beta, and gamma), marked clearly on the coins. esty.ancients.info /officina   (679 words)

East meets West in the   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Let’s take the last first, simple; it is called Siscia because that is the city where it was minted. Siscia was chosen as the Imperial Mint to make these coins. In the years between 286 and 296 the Siscia mint issued a special series of Antoniniani associating Diocletian and Maximian with the Gods. www.forumancientcoins.com /forvm/Articles/east_meets_west.htm   (2625 words)

Probus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Interestingly, despite the seeming unity between Emperor and his army, his troops murdered him in AD 282 because of his declaration that with the empire at peace there was no longer a need for an army. This coin was minted at Siscia, possibly Probus' city of birth. The following coin was also minted at Siscia and shows the left facing Radiate portrait, this time with spear and shield. nis-www.lanl.gov /~ctr/probus.html   (418 words)

Early Christianity in Pannonia The mint of Siscia produced more coins than that of Sirmium, and this emblem was printed on the coins of Constantine the Great, Constans, Constantius, Vetranio, Decentius, Constantius Gallus, Valentinian I, Valens, Gratianus, Theodosius and his wife Flaccilla. Most Christian epitaphs were found in Sirmium and Siscia, and this was surely not by chance. Three were found in Siscia, one of them was erected for Christ's servant, Severilla, by her husband Marcellianus, on another one the Greek word ZAESIS appears, which is equivalent to vivas in Deo. www.cryingvoice.com /Christianity/HunChristPannonia.html   (1556 words)

Sisak - Unipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Vetriano coin struck at Siscia mint in 350. The long history of urban life (around 2,500 years) and the extremely favourable position on the confluence of three rivers, (the Sava, the Kupa and the Odra), have made Sisak a very important town in the history of Croatia. During the Roman Empire, a Christian martyr St. Quirinus was nearly killed in what was known at that time as Siscia. www.unipedia.info /Sisak.html   (508 words)

QUIRINUS - LoveToKnow Article on QUIRINUS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Old Roman formulie of prayer mention a Hora Quirini, his female cult associate, afterwards identified with Hersilia, the wife of Romulus. The name was also borne by the following saints: (1) a Roman tribune who suffered martyrdom under Hadrian; (2) a bishop of Siscia in Pannonia; (3) the patron of the Tegernsee in Bavaria, beheaded in Rome in 269 and invoked by those suffering from gout.

Roman quarter follis of 305-306 AD The usual denomination at the time was the large (26-28 mm) "nummus" which, for many years, has been called by collectors a "follis" (although now that we have learned the proper term is "nummus," the newer term is catching on). 436) Siscia "was the eastern most of the mints in the administrative area assigned to Heraclius [Maximian]." Perhaps it is not unlikely that Sisica would continue to mint for Maximian in accordance with his wishes, at least for a short time. However, Siscia did not use "GAL VAL" for Galerius as Augustus on this or any of the other denominations, so the explanation of the abberant legend is not as simple as saying that only one letter was missing from an attested Galerius legend. esty.ancients.info /qf   (1635 words)

RIC reported in 1949 that there were 44 different mintings for Valentinian (for Siscia)  between 364 and 375. LRBC tells us that at this time the Secvritas coins of Valens were minted by Officina A so the first letter must be A.
