<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1657282, member: 42773&quot;]Well, it does look like billon, and the devices are &quot;off&quot; enough to suggest a barbarous issue. What I&#039;ve noticed about the barbarous coins, though, is the dead giveaway is in the legends. Frequently the makers of the coins were illiterate, so the legends end up as nonsense. I want to say Jabberwocky, but Jabberwocky actually makes sense in non-sensical sort of way. A lot of the barbarous issues just have random letter and numbers, although the SEVER part of the obverse legend suggests an attempt to get it right.</p><p><br /></p><p>(You asked for any and all comments, so I have to include the disclaimer that I&#039;m new to ancients and could easily be way off track.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
