wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 08/11/2008 6:47 pm Similar to previous. Small 10 mm and copper. On obverse man's profile facing right - sorry about glare on reverse - I have no idea - I am not even sure of orientation. Any help Image: Roman11_Obv.jpg 68.56 KB Image: Roman11_Rev.jpg 93.48 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16181 Posts	Posted 08/11/2008 8:56 pm The "butterfly" shape on the reverse makes me think of the small coppers struck in late Roman and Byzantine times in Cherson, the outpost on the Crimean peninsula. This one of emperor Zeno was the best example I could spot on a quick search through Wildwinds. Each emperor had their own monogram, and the differences between them can be hard to spot. Any chance of a clearer pic? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/11/2008 9:42 pm The orientation is off to the side but to me the monogram looks like Leo I rather than Zeno. If you could crop the image and clear it up a bit it might help. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/14/2008 08:35 am As I thought it's Leo I 457-474 AD, (RIC X 720). Report this Post to the Staff
