<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1774304, member: 19463"]Quoting Sear Byzantine under 532: "Legend normally a badly blundered form of the inscription of Tiberius II. e.g. piTINOC ~ ~ TIANTAPPIV, but less blundered from "year 8"." Your two coins are years 6 and 9 nd tend to suggest Sear had a clue. Mine is year 17 and you can read Maurice so is considered 533. I note that BMC and other older works gave 532 to Tiberius so the lettering has been a matter of discussion among scholars. [ATTACH=full]282681[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
