Commentary


Poids très léger. Follis anonyme (classe F). Cet exemplaire semble surfrappé sans que l’on puisse déterminer le prototype, mais on aperçoit le nimbe du Christ au droit. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente qui est parfois difficile à identifier et confondu avec le follis anonyme attribué à Constantin IX (BC. 1836).

Historical background


CONSTANTINE X DUCAS

(25/12/1059-21/05/1067)

Constantine X succeeded Isaac I Comnenus who had been deposed. Constantine's wife, Eudocia, is the niece of the Patriarch of Constantinople. Constantin must face a triple danger: the Normans in Sicily, the Uzes (Turkish tribe) in the Balkans and the Seljuks in Asia Minor. On his death, his wife succeeded him, ensuring the regency for his sons Michael VII and Constantine. The Empire faces a grave crisis.
