This is extraordinary.
I don't think it does. At least not by itself. It might if it's part of a longer invocation/formula but by itself is elliptic in a way that the...
This is an interesting and often overlooked type, that seems to get lost in the crowd of early to mid 310s base metal folles. It is also rather...
The obole is local coinage of the County of Poitou type immobilise, likely Boudeau 414 or similar (I will check the book tomorrow) possibly from...
All things considering I think that you can still count it as a Carolingian type (it obviously is by design) and the mentioned authors regard it...

And to add to this great thread, here is an entry I wrote last month regarding the aftermath of Alaric's adventurism in Italy and the Gothic...
It is likely a 6 to 7th century weight, possibly related to a Jewish community anywhere from Israel to North Africa.
Not very beautiful but interesting and of a denomination rather looked over: [ATTACH] the assarion, introduced by Andronikos II around 1304....
Extremely interesting. I wonder why Cherson? Because of the casting (which has been of some tradition in Cherson) or because the known examples...
Certainly poorer than this:[ATTACH]
Trier does have a nice style, which other mints might have saved for precious metal minting. Constantine I billon "argenteus" (Marc Walter,...
