It took me a long time to warm-up to Byzantine coinage <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but eventually it took hold <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. In regards to locating an example of the sole reign of Heraclius Constantine, don&#039;t hold your breath waiting for one to appear <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. A few examples of solidi have been attributed to him by Philip Grierson, that most experts today refute, instead assigning them to Constans II. After Heraclius died in 641 both of his sons ruled jointly for only 100 days before Heraclius Constantine died of consumption <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. So the likelihood of finding a coin with the two brothers is remote. After only 5 months in office Heraclonas was forced to recognize Constans II (the son of Heraclius Constantine) as emperor. Heraclonas &amp; his mother Martina were banished to the island of Rhodes after her tongue was slit &amp; his nose cut off <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! This was the 1st instance of this gruesome practice in Byzantine history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
