[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 7915057, member: 44210"]Thanks all for reading and for your comments! All nice and wonderful coins posted! Yours has a clear bust and complete legends, so those are a win in my book :woot: Very interesting. I'll have to look this up and listen to it sometime. Yes I noticed that as well. Antioch had always been one of the better mints IMO in both the Roman and Byzantine periods. Very nice. Nicomedia seemed to do consistently good job centering the die so all of the design ends up on the flan and the coin itself doesn't look off overall. Which is why an early, forward-facing Nicomedia follis is high on my list right now. I remember once reading about this. I wouldn't have expected any less from the guy that tried to re-unite the entire Roman Empire from Britain to Egypt![/QUOTE]
