In this article we investigate a number of hoards of late antique coins found in the Crimea from a new perspective. Most of Taurica’s late antique treasures saw a long period of development and include diachronic coins. We tried to apply methodology used in the study of medieval treasures for their research. As a result, we managed to define ethnic identity of the late antique coin complexes. We identified periods of circulation of a range of antique coin varieties, which allows using them to date antique sites with a big degree of certainty.
