Commentary

Monnaie montée anciennement. Solidus léger de 22 siliques précédemment attribué à l’atelier d’Antioche. Pendilia aux extrémités bouletées. Couronne perlée. Cuirasse lisse. Bouclier orné d’un cavalier. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Anciently mounted coin. Light solidus of 22 siliquae previously attributed to the Antioch mint. Pendilia with rounded ends. Pearled crown. Smooth cuirass. Shield decorated with a rider. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest.
