Archaeologists in eastern Croatia uncovered 302 late Roman coins at a 4th‑century Danube frontier watchtower near Mohovo—likely the last trace of a small garrison that hid its pay during a moment of crisis.

 Mostly from the 4th century AD, many of the coins were minted under Valentinian I (AD 364–375)—a frontier‑focused emperor born in nearby Cibalae (modern Vinkovci).

The Mohovo tower sat between larger forts at Ilok and Sotin, forming a visual‑signal chain along the Danube. Ilok & Sotin: fortified sites controlling Danube crossings.
