<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 4861693, member: 84744"]Well I can't accept all that dissin' of Byzantine history at the turn of the 8th century which is in fact SUPER AWESOME, but I will still contribute a coin to your thread because your new Anglo Saxon coin is cool and I'm that kinda guy. This is a Kentish sceat probably issued under Wihtred. (Another interesting tidbit about him: he may be a descendant of the famous though possibly legendary Hengist.) Note the snake eating its tail doubling as a dotted border around the cross & bird.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174249[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>But to punish you for your misbehaviour, I will also drop in a gnarly contemporary Byzantine issue. This is Tiberius III overstruck on Leontius, and one of my favourite Byzantine folles.
