<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 2972313, member: 85693&quot;]Nice coins.&nbsp; The Caligula is pretty well covered here.&nbsp; So a bit about that Byzantine follis.&nbsp; It is Justinian, and I think it is this one (from Wildwinds):</p><p><br /></p><p>Justinian I. AE follis. 527-565 AD, Constantinople. DN IVSTINIANVS PP AVG, pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right / Large M. star to left, cross above, cross right, officina letter below, mintmark CON. SB 158, DOC 28.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am guessing about the &quot;cross right&quot; part, but I think this is right.&nbsp; There is no regnal year on these issues from early in Justinian&#039;s reign.&nbsp; Your Officina is a Greek delta.</p><p><br /></p><p>They were struck pretty crudely, but yours is not too bad - I&#039;d sure be happy to have it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
