Rogowiec (Hornsberg/Hornschloss) Castle. A New Look at the History of the Stronghold on the Silesian-Bohemian Borderland in Light of Numismatic Material

Abstract

The article presents the results of archaeological excavations carried out in the years 1988–1992, 2005–2010 and 2012–2015 in the area of Rogowiec Castle (Grzmiąca village, Głuszyca municipality, Wałbrzych district, Lower Silesia province), in the context of the discovered numismatic material dating back to the late 13th as well as 14th and 15th centuries. The discovered specimens made it possible to revise previous findings concerning the chronology of the stronghold’s various development stages and the cultural and social context of its functioning as well as allowing for the determination of the exact time of its destruction
