<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8220283, member: 134416&quot;]During the reigns of Constantine IV through Leo III, AE issues of Syracuse seem to far outstrip that of Constantinople. One might see a 40 Nummia of Justinian II (Constantinople) or Leo III maybe once a year, twice a year, if that, on vcoins.&nbsp; Espcially a coin on a round flan.&nbsp; I snapped up a fairly nice Justinian II in 2009, and haven&#039;t seen very many ones on vcoins since (although, admittedly, I didn&#039;t check every moment).</p><p><br /></p><p>My question; can one infer that coins of Syracuse were minted in greater quantities, or is it because of a large hoard? Or was it because metropolitan coins of that period were overstruck so often, and thus there were less of them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
