<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 4642710, member: 56653&quot;]Well, my last thread that I posted this week about the votives of the early 320s at Ticinum and Rome was not very popular, but as I slowly return to my first love, the Late Empire, I will probably bore you with more such threads that I consider interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>For tonight, here is a local coinage at Cherson, that I think was used around 426 (DOC) to 437 (RIC) for Theodosius II and Valentinian III. This coinage was thought at first to be a product of Constantinople, but it is more likely a local imitation and variation coinage based on the AE2s of the late 4th century:</p><p><br /></p><p>- Theodosius II, RIC X Constantinople 460</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147234[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>- Valentinian III, RIC X Constantinople 461</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147241[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>While the imperial coinage did not see AE2s past 395, certain provinces started minting their own, such as Hispania and Narbonensis in pre-Visigothic times and during the reign of Maximus of Barcino and apparently Cherson in Crimea, which started minting around the late 420s and had issues for Theodosius II, Valentinian III, Leo I and Verina, Zeno and afterwards to the mid Romaion times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
