tradition in the field of commodity-money relations. The Celtic coins and the Dacians minting coins occur in the 3rd century B.C. The Celtic- Dacians coins, used in the internal and inter-tribal trade, were replaced with the Roman Republican and Imperial coins in the second half of the 4th century B.C. The development of the internal and external trade required large amounts of money, which were already ascertained by the Empire. This has led to a shortage of cash that has been solved by Burebista by minting coins imitating the Roman. Commercial relations were established with the most remote regions of the Carpathian Basin. The most imports were products of the type noricum-pannonian (fibulae, buckles, belts) and of Italian origin (bronze and glass vessels). The contacts with the Baltic regions were reflected in the amber necklaces. Special artisan products, the commodity-money relations and expanded trade relations that have emerged in the Laténe age were not coming down with the Dacians. The fast spreading of the Dacians culture was assisted by the similarity of the tribes, as well as the considerable increase in number of the Dacians, which took place in several stages. The first stage is the age of Burebista (around the years 80 - 44 52 B.C.); the second is associated with the invasion of the Sarmatians in the region between Tisa and Danube rivers, at the beginning of the 1st century A.D. According to the testimony of the Roman historian Plinius the Old (HN, IV, 25), the Iazyges have pushed the Dacians to the north, in the mountains, in the Upper Tisa region. This was a massive migration that reached the remote regions of northern Slovakia, where the coming of the new wave of Dacians contributed to the formation of Púchov culture. The final stage corresponds to the end of the 1 st century and the beginning of the 2nd century and emerged because of the Dacians- Roman wars under Domitian (years 85/86 - 89) and Traian (between 101 - 106). Migrations reached climax in the final phase of the war (between 105 - 106), a fact highlighted by Dio Cassius in the passage about the departure to the north of the so-called “free Dacians”, who do not wish to remain under foreign domination (Cass. Dio, LXII, 33, LXXVIII, 27, 5).
