<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3179274, member: 75937&quot;]Just picked this one up at auction. Procopius had been lacking in my collection. Post your Procopius coins or anything you feel is relevant! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]818968[/ATTACH] </p><p>Procopius, AD 365-366</p><p>Roman Æ centenionalis, 2.70 g, 20mm. </p><p>Constantinople, AD 365-366. </p><p>Obv: D N PROCO-PIVS P F AVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust left.</p><p>Rev: REPARATI-O FEL TEMP, Procopius standing facing, head right, holding labarum in right hand, left resting on shield set on the ground; Chi-rho in upper right field and unidentified object in left at foot; CONSЄ• in exergue. </p><p>Refs: RIC ix 17a.7; Cohen 8; RCV 19883. </p><p>Notes: The small object at the feet of the emperor on the reverse has never been satisfactorily explained. Pearce (RIC ix, p. 215, 17 note) comments &quot;The small indeterminate object is given by Cohen as &#039;seated captive.&#039; Koblitz suggests a helmet. I have noted it as resembling the letter T, a mushroom, two small circles standing one above the other, a small circle standing on a pyramidal object, etc., but never &#039;seated captive&#039; or &#039;helmet.&#039;&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
