<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 3121921, member: 84905&quot;]The Gothic warriors who served with the Roman army not only received gold coins, but also gold bracelets as donativum. These bracelets were often cut up in quite equal pieces and used as means of payment. The Ukrainians call them &quot;plateshnyie slidki&quot;, meaning payment pieces and they have been found regularly in graves that can be attribute to the Chernyakhov culture and in particular the Goths.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an example from my collection.
