[QUOTE="philologus_1, post: 7915288, member: 92212"]Justinian I + Theoupolis? :) This one is just a half-follis, but FWIW, it's on the high end of diameter and weight. I bought it immediately upon sight because of the combination of the lifelike (comparatively) portrait style, tall-slender Cross, and longer abbreviation of the city name. [ATTACH=full]1367460[/ATTACH] Justinian I, 527-565, AE Half-Follis (20 Nummi) Mint: Theoupolis (Antioch), 533-537AD. Obv.: D N IVSTINI-ANVS PP AVG, diademed, draped & cuirassed bust, right. Rev.: Large K, Δ to right (4th officina); T-H/Є-Ч/O/P and long cross to left. Diam.: 28 mm. Weight: 9.65 gr. Attrib.: DOC 211d. MIBE 134. SB 226. Notes: VF. Natural sand patina. Elegant, tall slender Cross. Scarce.[/QUOTE]
