In addition to the catalogue, which deals with 815 coins from this period, an extensive study is also included about the countermarks that appear on the bronze coins in the collection. This section is primarily concerned with the phenomenon of countermarking and the role of countermarked coins in circulation, and new interpretations are also suggested for certain countermarks (e.g. IMO, XI). In addition to illustrative material of all coins and countermarks, the book offers exhaustive indexes.

In 2019, during archaeological excavation of the Roman temple at Frauenberg, near Leibnitz (Austria), two imitations of staters of the same type were excavated. Of these, one coin was minted with the same dies for obverse and reverse as the coin from Radoboj, which undoubtedly testifies to minting in the same mint. In the area of north-western Croatia and eastern Slovenia, four other Athena/Nike staters can be documented at four other sites. To date, 83 Athena/Nike imitations have been discovered in Central Europe, of which 32 coins originate from 26 sites. Seven coins from six sites in the area south of the middle course of the Mura and Drava rivers therefore significantly complement the current record of finds of these earliest Celtic coin finds in Central Europe. At the same time, it proves that the minting of this group of imitations can be attributed to the local Celtic tribes sometime in the middle of the 3rd century BC.

The most important via publica between aquileia and emona was defended by three linear defence lines. The author presents literary sources and numismatic evidence, as well as the results of archaeological excavations, and points out the chronological problems connected with the construction of this late roman defence structure.

The collection contains some 200 pieces, most of which were, prior to 1995, immured in the walls without any order. They are mainly from Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana (Roman Emona) and the nearby village of Ig, as well as from Lower Carniola (Dolenjska). Several monuments are kept in the glass pavilion in the museum garden, which was officially opened in mid-2007.

Trinajst novcev je bilo mogoče uvrstiti v tri skupine, za vse pa je na sprednji in zadnji strani novca značilna upodobitev konja, ki v vseh podrobnostih ustreza upodobitvam konja na tetradrahmah. Prvi dve skupini ustrezata tetradrahmam skupine Varaždin A, medtem ko novci tretje skupine predstavljajo drobiž tetradrahem skupine Varaždin B. Samo za dva novca tretje skupine poznamo njihovo provenienco (Celje in Györ). Mali srebrniki kot dvanajstinski del velikih novcev so bili kovani istočasno s tetradrahmami ob koncu prve polovice 2. stoletja pr. Kr.

Razlikovati je mogoče dve skupini, ki se tipološko ločita po upodobitvi na zadnji strani novcev. Na zadnji strani novcev prve skupine je upodobljen jezdec, na novcih druge rozeta. Novci prve skupine so značilni predvsem za območje jugovzhodne Avstrije (Koroška), novci druge skupine pa za območje Furlanije, Posočja in jugozahodne avstrijske Koroške. Kovanje teh drobižnih novcev, ki ustrezajo četrtinki drahme, postavljamo v sredino 2. st. pr. Kr.

Such tetradrachms were minted for a short time in the area of southeastern Carinthia at the end of the first half of the second century BC.
