<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Caesar_Augustus, post: 2949356, member: 87659&quot;]Oh my, that looks so delicious!!! I also bought a copy of David Sear&#039;s book! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I got it used off of Amazon. I am glad I invested on that book, and I&#039;ve already stuck my nose in it to research the 2 Byzantine coins I have. </p><p><br /></p><p>Those little details are beautiful. I noticed a few interesting details in my 2 coins. My Justinian follis ends with an AUI, instead of an AUG, and I&#039;m not sure why! Sear&#039;s book says its &quot;AUG&quot;, but the pictures he has shows an &quot;AUI&quot;, did the engraver run out of space, <b>for the entire duration the coins were being minted? </b>I also have a coin of Maurice, it&#039;s beautiful. But its obverse legend ends with an AUT, and I have no clue why. Really interesting. Also, the variations with mints and officina as you mention it is very cool to study. </p><p><br /></p><p>Wish you actually was able to use that hunk of a mug there, haha![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
