Most of the bronze coinage had gotten so small that many times the obverse legend wouldn&#039;t fit. They then decided to put on the reverses monograms that contained letters of the ruler&#039;s name, so even if the obverse letters were gone, people would still know who issued that coin. Leo I got smart and even put a lion on many of his nummi, since Leo is lion in Latin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
