<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnnyC, post: 24680392, member: 101968&quot;]The coins listed in Sear as assaria of Andronicus II and Andronicus III&nbsp; are mostly flat issues of Constantinople (S.2439 being a noticeable exception with its curved flans).</p><p><br /></p><p>Sear 2497 of Andronicus III looks something like these assaria, but in fact it is a descendent of the scyphate issues of Andronicus II at Thessalonica, although by the time of Andronicus III these types were struck with flat dies on (somewhat) scyphate flans. Logically then they shouldn’t be grouped with the Constantinople assaria.</p><p><br /></p><p>What these Andronicus II and Andronicus III scyphates were actually called we can’t be sure, although personally I like to use trachy for the earlier curved types of Andronicus II and stamenon for the later and flatter types of Andronicus III.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ross G.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
