Commentary


la marqueau revers correspond aux initiales de Léon V et de Constantin. Ce type est présenté comme un demi-follis par Marco Anastasi, p. 200, n° 498 plutôt que comme un follis. Au revers, les lettres sont effilées.
The reverse mark corresponds to the initials of Leo V and Constantine. This type is presented as a half-follis by Marco Anastasi, p. 200, no. 498 rather than as a follis. On the reverse, the letters are tapered

Historical background


LEO V THE ARMENIAN and CONSTANTINE

(25/12/813-25/12/820)

Leo V did not have time to pursue the iconoclastic quarrel. Following fierce repression, he was assassinated in Saint Sophia Cathedral on Christmas Day with his son Constantine. Leo V had won great victories against the Bulgarians, especially against Krum. Leo V is a contemporary of Charlemagne, whom his predecessor Michael I had recognized as Emperor of the West in 812..
