| Additional information |
The Boii occupied much of what is now Bohemia and Slovakia until their near-total destruction by the Dacians under Burebista around 60–50 BC — an event so catastrophic that the region was left largely depopulated, giving Pannonia its ancient name from the Boii who had lived there. Coinage attributed to them after that point is almost certainly residual, struck before the collapse rather than after. The Simmering and Réte classification draws from findspot concentrations in the Vienna basin and northern Hungarian sites, suggesting a distribution network that crossed the Danube regularly.
