A big byzantine coin, two silver and other bronze coins.

[vince76]

Finally, after a rainy week today was sunny.


I've been planing to search this new site weeks ago.
My first coin was this Big follis of Justinian I 525-567.



Other byzantine coins came out but after I had lunch I was searching near a clif. It was a high tone and I prepared the pinpointer but didn't use it. I could see it.



And than, leaving, I found another silver.

I am tired and I'm not writing any more. Just wanted to share it with you.








Dyrrachium Drachm



Denarius, Rome, 118 or 117 BC; AR (g 3,74; mm 19; h 8); Helmeted head of Roma r., behind, *, Rv. Victory in quadriga r., holding wreath and reins; below,




Good night and sleep well.

Vince, the split legend on the obverse reads D N IVSTINIANVS PP AVG. The abbreviation DN (Donimus Noster) means 'our Lord' is displayed as the conventional beginning of title and includes the abbreviated title of the emperor, the 'perpetual Augustus': P(PER) P (DTWS) AVG (VSTVS). During the Roman period, split legends on the obverse of coins indicated that the ruler depicted with the senior Augustus. An unbroken obverse legend indicated a Caesar or junior Augustus. On earlier coins, the 'PP' stood for 'Pater Patriae'--father of our country.

PS: Keep posting those Byzantine coin pics; they are rarely shown and each represents a piece of history seldom seen on TNet.

Thanks Tommy
Its an old post from last year. It seems like I'm becoming nostalgic.
Even my city is becoming boring but fortunately I don't need to drive long distances to get to these beautiful places and there are still more places I have on my "wishing list".
Cheers mate

Thanks mate. You should find a project.

How much to hang out with you for the weekend? LOL Great work. Congrats!

Such fantastic finds! Great detail is left.

The four 'K' coins (each representing a denominations of 20 'nummi') are very interesting. Further cleaning or sharper focus might yield their dates (expressed in the reigning year of the emperor), the location of the mint and even the workshop ('officna') within the mint may appear on one or more of your 'K' coins.
As always, great to see Byz. coins in T-net.

Thanks buddy. I've been trying the oil method with some ruined coins. I could see more details but I don't like the colour. I haven't decided yet how to clean my coins.

A coffee in the morning, two beers for lunch and a pizza for dinner. Or maybe the pizza is too much!

Thanks mate

Congratulations! What a spectacular day you had!!!

Can you post a pic of the reverse sides of the "K" coins?
Vertically, on the left of the "K" would be the word ANNO, for 'year'.
The officina (the division of the mint where the coins were minted) would be expressed in Greek letters A-E.
