[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7521352, member: 110504"]This just showed up. [ATTACH=full]1298970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1298971[/ATTACH] Principality of Antioch. Bohemond IV, first reign, 1201-1216. Denier, Class K. Obv. Mailed and helmeted profile; +BOAMVNDVS Rev. ANTOCHIA. Malloy (1st ed.) p. 220, 79a. For deniers of Antioch, I gravitate toward Bohemond IV and the half-Cilician Armenian usurper, Raymond Roupen, who punctuated his reign. Where the Frankish Levant is concerned, I really like the earlier 13th century generally, for what was happening on cultural and as well as political fronts --for instance, the window of sometimes marked cooperation between the Franks and local Muslim polities. Regarding the helmet with the nose guard, this is a survival from the conical Norman helmets with the same feature, well known from the Bayeux Tapestry. Here's a link to a page from the Morgan Crusader Bible, demonstrating that it was in use in France as late as the middle of the 13th century.
