<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herberto, post: 8442674, member: 74222&quot;]Hello to any of you</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m just wondering about the exergues of byzantine coinage. More precisely whether the exergue should be read in Latin or Greek, or both?</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins from Thessalonica in Latin would be “TES”, but in Greek it would be “ΘΕϹ”. - That is easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins in Alexandria are always in Greek: “AΛΕΣ” - That is also easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I have doubts for other cities. Should it be read in Latin or Greek?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I want to ask:</p><p><br /></p><p>Is “CON” Greek or Latin, or both?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is “THEUPO” Greek or Latin, or both?</p><p><br /></p><p>In Carthage we have both “CAR” and “KAR” in exergue as you know. Is it because one of them is Latin and the other Greek?</p><p><br /></p><p>In case you have a definitive answer, then I would like to hear it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks and have a nice day <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
