With Byzantine coins the elaborate regalia identifies the figure as the emperor, but the portraits rarely have much individuality. This one has a bit of &quot;portrait&quot; about it, but it is still the robes, scepter, and globus cruciger that say &quot;Byzantine emperor&quot;![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
