The type remained essentially unchanged throughout the century: on the obverse the emperor&#039;s name and a profile bust, on the reverse the marks of value IB on either side of a cross; with the mint-mark in the exergue. Minor variations were introduced under Tiberius II - the emperor sometimes holds a short cross, or the cross on the reverse is sometimes replaced by a TP monogram on steps - but his coins are unusually abundant for so short a reign and it seems probable that some of them, as happened elsewhere, were struck under Maurice. (The inscription includes only the Constantinus element in Tiberius&#039; name.)</p> <p style="text-align: left"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: left"><b>- Broucheion</b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
