<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 24820911, member: 15588&quot;]Byzantine emperor Romanus I Lacapenus ruled completely within the reign of Constantine VII in the early-mid 10th century. Though a pretty obscure figure, he saved the empire from Bulgarian invasion and made a pretty ominous figure on a coin. Constantine VII managed to oust Romanus I and his co-emperor sons, leaving Romanus I with no real extended lineage in the empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1588984[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1588985[/ATTACH]</p><p><i><font size="4">Romanus I Lacapenus (920 - 944); Constantinople Æ Follis; Obv: +RwMAN bAS-ILEVS Rwm’ Facing bust of Romanus I, bearded, wearing crown and jeweled chlamys, and holding labarum and globus cruciger; Rev: +RwMA/N’ENΘEwbA/SILEVSRw/MAIwN; 27mm, 8.09g, 6h; R.1886-8, Sear 1760</font></i></p><p><i><font size="4"><br /></font></i></p><p><font size="4">Please share your Romanus I coins!</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
