[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7927884, member: 115909"]Nice one! Congrats! Since you said: "Please feel free to post any coins or information related to Justinian, Antioch/Theopolis, Khosrau I, plague, earthquakes/disasters, or anything else you feel is relevant!".. I just recently picked up this solidus of Justinian the Great [I]literally 3 [/I]days ago (ignore the cat hair on top of the case on the reverse) xD I find it interesting that some of them have the Angel holding a [B]P [/B]cross and others a normal cross. [ATTACH=full]1370241[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1370242[/ATTACH] [B]Justinian I the Great (AD 527-565). AV solidus (22mm, 4.46 gm, 7h). NGC Choice AU 4/5 - 3/5.[/B]Constantinople, 5th officina, ca. AD 545-565. D N IVSTINI-ANVS PP AVG, cuirassed bust of Justinian I facing, wearing plumed helmet with pendilia, globus cruciger in right hand, shield decorated with horseman motif in left / VICTORI-A AVGG Є, angel standing facing, staff surmounted by staurogram in right hand, globus cruciger in left; star in right field, CONOB in exergue.
