[QUOTE="Plumbata, post: 3988517, member: 96864"]Personally, the varied Æ issues of Justinian are supremely interesting because of not only their wide variety, generally impressive size and quintessentially "Byzantine" aesthetic but also because they are exemplary products of the last great glimmer of Late Antiquity, an era where peoples/nations were on the move, change was in the air, and the (Western) world order was about to undergo a dramatic and fundamental shift; the ripples of which still wash over us all today. Your Italian/Croatian military mint issue is great and like [USER=44210]@ValiantKnight[/USER] I am highly interested in these more obscure issues which seem to represent an ultimately doomed attempt to cling to the Roman status quo ante. Congrats on the fortunate acquisition and thanks for writing up and sharing your findings![/QUOTE]
