<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 25341397, member: 15588&quot;]This is another example of &quot;good enough for the type&quot; since it emerged from that murky time between the late 7th and early 8th centuries, when the Byzantine empire experienced some disruptions. Tiberius III ruled between the two non-consecutive reigns of Justinian II. In the end, everyone involved had their noses and tongues slit, a few even became footstools, and nastiness seemed to prevail overall. Lovely. The coins of the era seem to reflect some of this chaos. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1620743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1620744[/ATTACH]</p><p><i><font size="3">Tiberius III Apsimar (698-705, struck 698-702), Æ Follis, Syracuse, Obv: no legend, crowned and cuirassed facing bust, holding spear and shield; star to left; Rev: Large M, monogram above (Sear Monogram #42), palm fronds flanking, SCL in exergue; 15-19mm, 2.4g; DOC 32, MIB 79, Anastasi 337, Sear 1395</font></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
