History and coin finds in Armenia, Antiquity,

Khatchatur Mousheghian (U ), Anahit Mousheghian, Georges Depeyrot, 

Khatchatur Mousheghian prepared a publication of hoards and site finds from Armenia. Completed, with new studies, this documentation is now published. In this book are published catalogues of hoards: Artashat (70 BC and 59 BC); Armenia (55 BC); Artik (45 BC); Parakar (38 BC); Sarnakounk (25 BC); Tovuz (25 BC); Aparan (2 BC); Gurmi and Artashat (1st c. BC); Echmiadzin (175); Garni (192); Oshakan (3rd c.); Yerevan (5th c.). A list of site finds in Armenia (coins from 4th c. BC to 5th c. AD) and a list of Armenian coin finds out of the actual Republic of Armenia are given.

Two studies complete the general analysis of coin circulation. One is devoted to hoarding in the first Century BC (with Sarnakounk hoard) and the second is devoted to the study of second Century denarii hoards in the Roman Empire (with Echmiadzin and Garni hoards). These two studies summarize all the new studies about silver coin hoards and give new interpretations of this kind of coin circulation.

Khatchatur Mousheghian was director of the Coin Cabinet of Yerevan.
