<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 8254160, member: 84744&quot;]Wowzers! What a coin! Though I think the attribution isn&#039;t quite right... looking at MEC 1, the obverse appears to be the earliest Arichis II type (holding cross and akakia), held over from his predecessor Liutprand (751-758).&nbsp; That would make it Class I (758-765), for which there isn&#039;t an example in MEC.&nbsp; The legend on the obverse is D N – – IN P P; the &quot;VICTORIA&quot; legend that you list was added after Arichis&#039;s victory over the Neapolitans in 765 (or so says Grierson).&nbsp; And the reverse appears to read VITIRΔ ΔGVTI, slightly different from what you&#039;ve got there.</p><p><br /></p><p>My only Principality of Beneventum coin is a denaro of Sico (817-32), MEC 1107:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454970[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
