Message:: [QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3557937, member: 72790"]Again I was able to pick up a couple of very small ae 4 size coins at the flea market. The one is another Theodosius I but this time the reverse has a chi rho on it. Also the reverse is the same otherwise as the earlier one I had posted. Despite the small size the reverse inscription is possible to read, SALUS REIPUBLICAE, somewhat scary if this is the kind of  coinage that marks the state of health of the republic. The little Byzantine looks as though it just came out of the ground and is a bit of a mystery to me. I cannot see a mark of value on the reverse though it appears as the diameter of a ten or maybe a five nummia piece. I cannot make out any of the obverse inscription or the identification of the emperor. The reverse seems to have an ANNO and the numbers X LI It also appears to be struck over another coin which makes it hard to make out. Considering the little value of the coin, it seems pointless to have overstruck it. Any help on its further ID appreciated.[ATTACH=full]945822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]945823[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
