<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2587666, member: 44210&quot;]You don&#039;t make me go out and spend hundreds of dollars on one of your brothers! Go back into your 2x2 case!</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the Maurice Tiberius half-follis that spurred me into buying a solidus of this emperor. Wasn&#039;t initially going to buy a solidus but, it happened lol. This one is weak in a few areas but besides this I find it a very attractive bronze. It was up for auction twice. The first time I guess I didn&#039;t pay too much attention to it and I didn&#039;t bid. Second time around I took a closer look and I was convinced I wanted it. Won it for cheap as the only bidder. MT is now a lot higher on my list ultimately because of this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Now I kinda wish I included it in my favorites list. Eh... I&#039;ll throw it into a #6-#10 thread or something <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your MT coins!</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Maurice Tiberius</u>, Byzantine Empire</b></p><p>AE half-follis</p><p><b>Obv</b>: D N MAVRC TIB P P AVG, helmeted and cuirassed bust facing, cloak drawn over left shoulder, holding cross on globe</p><p><b>Rev</b>: Large K, cross above, ANNO to left, regnal year VIII in two lines to right</p><p><b>Mint</b>: Thessalonica</p><p><b>Mintmark</b>: TES</p><p><b>Date</b>: 589 AD</p><p><b>Ref</b>: SB 509</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]562985[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Map of Maurice&#039;s empire (yellow) in 600 AD:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/byz600-jpg.514119/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
