[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 4419038, member: 84744"]I agree with the others saying this is an official Byzantine mint product. Antioch was a bit of a mess in Justinian's reign, what with the earthquake and then the sack by Khosrau I. Some sketchy latin was definitely the least of their worries. :D Here's a later Syrian imitation under the Persians c. 611-625. This is cruder than these usually are, and overstruck on an Anastasius follis: [ATTACH=full]1108511[/ATTACH] And here's an early (c. 640s-650s) Islamic imitation overstruck on half of a large earlier follis: [ATTACH=full]1108512[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
