Excerpt	During the underwater research carried out in the 1970s at Tomis and Callatis, several archaeological artifacts were discovered, such as amphorae, anchors, wreckage remains etc. Afterwards, almost all of them entered the institutional public collections in Constanţa and Bucharest. Other artifacts, such as small finds, including coins, remained in the private collection of a diving crew member (including many autonomous coins), who most likely was the engineer and amateur archaeologist Vasile Cosma. In fact, the coins, like the rest of the small objects, were neither published, nor exhibited in public collections. However, according to the last owner, he sold the artifacts in the late 1970s to other collectors, before fleeing the country to USA. Quite by chance, we briefly analyzed some of them in the 1990s, when a local collector – their last owner – attempted to sell them to the Museum of National History and Archaeology in Constanţa. The coins were made of silver and bronze; some were minted before the Roman times, others during the Roman period. In this paper our research only covers the pre-Roman coins discovered in Tomis. Their recovery is very important from a numismatic perspective, as they contribute to the enrichment of the collections comprised of pre Roman Histrian and Tomitan coins from the area of ancient Tomis, which were part of the local monetary circulation.
