    Remagen: According to the ceramic finds, the fort lasted well beyond the middle of the third century. The discovery of a hoard not far from the Porta Praetoria should also be seen in this context. The depot contained 8,500 coins, all Antoniniane made of silver-plated bronze, which were minted near Remagen as emergency money between 270 and 280 and were only in circulation for a short time. The creation of the hoard is probably related to the devastation of the Rhineland by the Franks. (wiki)

A prominent archaeologist of the Republic of Macedonia, Pasko Kuzman, stated that the coins are of special significance because they indicate that Ohrid and Venice were commercially linked.
