<p>[QUOTE="Quant.Geek, post: 3221229, member: 74799"][USER=56653]@seth77[/USER], I am so glad you posted this thread! I have spent the past two weeks researching Latin Rulers of Constantinople and Thessalonika. In fact, I just discovered, re-affirmed, and updated over 10 coins during this week! Just fell in love with these coins and have been slowly posting some of the coins on FORVM. I am working with a lot of over 300 coins at the moment and its time consuming. The new coins are still a work-in-progress and hopefully, will have the time to publish the findings. In the meantime, here are several re-affirmations of CLBC:</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Latin Rulers of Constantinople: Anonymous (ca. 1230) Æ Small Module Trachy, Constantinople (CLBC-11.36.3) </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv: Virgin nimbate, wearing tunic and maphorion, seated upon throne with back; holds beardless, nimbate head of Christ on breast</p><p>Rev: Obscure circular legend; Emperor with rounded beard, seated upon throne without back, wearing stemma, divitision, and collar-piece; holds in right hand scepter cruciger, and in left, anexikakia</p><p><br /></p><p>Note that Marchev-Waachter only recorded one specimen in a private collection. Unfortunately, the obverse was not present, but it can be clearly seen here as a nimbate Virgin on a throne. Similar to the reference coin, the legends are obscure.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/CLBC-11_36_3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b> Latin Rulers of Constantinople: Anonymous (1204-1261) BI Small Module Trachy, Constantinople (CLBC 11.23.3.A) </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv: IC XC in field; Christ, bearded and nimbate, wearing tunic and kolobion, seated upon throne without back; holds Gospel in left hand and bless with right hand in front of chest.
