<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2504584, member: 44316&quot;]The story of the coins of Antioch under Justinian is fascinating. Long ago I wrote a page on it:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/interesting/Justinian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/interesting/Justinian.html" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/interesting/Justinian.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Today I added this recent acquisition to it:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]531954[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]531955[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Justinian, Byzantine Emperor, 527-565.</p><p>Follis of year 33 (559/560)</p><p>struck at Antioch on an unusually large flan for this late date. It is 39-34 mm.</p><p>At the time, Antioch had been renamed Theopolis for reasons discussed on my page. </p><p>Sear 222. DO 229 page 147, not photographed.</p><p>Years 28 and 30-34 used this mintmark (sometimes without the terminal *). My page discusses the variety of mint marks used over his long reign.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
