[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 2281302, member: 74222"]I tend to download pdf files when I find them useful. For some months ago I downloaded this pdf ( see beneath) which shows the byzantine copper coins from the reign of Anastasius until John I Tzimiskes. However there is something that makes me think that there is a mistake: Above the name of “Constantine VII” you see a follis that either resembles like Romanus Lecapenus or IS Romanus Lecapenus. I don’t see anything like “Cons” on obverse or reverse side. I rather see “RWMA”. I know that a certain follis of Constantine Tiberius and Maurice Tiberius only can be separated by looking at their crown whether it has cross or trifork. – The reign of Constantine VII was also complex with a lot of co-emperors, so perhaps there is an explanation for that. Can anyone here tell me how to separate Constantine VII from Romanus I, or whether this just is a wrong picture? Thank for any help you can provide.[/QUOTE]
