Commentary
Deuxième exemplaire signalé après celui de la collection du Dumbarton Oaks (Do. 15). Ce type est repris et accepté par C. Morrisson dans le catalogue du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF (vol. I, p. 128). En revanche, il n’est pas repris dans les ouvrages généraux de Sear ou de Sommer. Il est rejeté par W. Hahn qui pense que l’exemplaire du Dumbarton Oaks avec un poids de 0,80 g est trop lourd pour un demi-tremissis. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Cabochon gemmé carré. Fibule d’attache sur l’épaule. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum.

I, p. 128). On the other hand, it is not taken up in the general works of Sear or Sommer. It is rejected by W. Hahn who thinks that the example of the Dumbarton Oaks with a weight of 0.80 g is too heavy for a demi-tremissis. Ribbons of type 3 with pelleted ends. Square gemmed cabochon. Attachment fibula on the shoulder. Pteryges invisible under the paludamentum
