Follis[/USER] - although I am not sure that the attribution to Anfusus is correct (that is how it was sold to me).&nbsp; I’ve since done a little digging and noticed that my coin doesn’t match up to the known pieces of Anfusus (The legend is either missing or off-flan, but the Anfusus coins with a legend don’t seem to have a haloed figure on the obverse, whereas mine does).&nbsp; I have seen some suggestion that these were issued at Bari sometime before its destruction, but I am not sure of the reasoning behind it.&nbsp; I need to get Travaini’s book...</p><p><br /></p><p>anyway, here is how the coin stands in my collection now (with properly orientated picture and measured diameter):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1312983[/ATTACH] Norman Italy - Capua</p><p>Anfusus, r. 1136-1144</p><p>AE Follaro, 10.86 mm x 0.69 grams</p><p>Obv.: O/A/N in left field, standing figure holding sword</p><p>Rev.: Pseudo-Cufic legend, cross above and below</p><p>Ref.: NCKS 14var., MEC 14.188[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
