Hello,
Please
help me ID this
fair trachy.
It is a family heritage and it was unearthed from
Epirus,
Greece maybe about a century ago.
It has no longer it's concave shape, additionaly I show you only the
reverse, the
obverse is completely destroyed and none of it's pattern is visible.
The R
legend engraves perhaps [A/ΛЄ/ΞI]/ω Δ/ЄC/[Π]OT/[Η] [Tω] / KΟ/MN/N or similar.
I could attribute this as Aléxios I Komnēnós, SB 1917 or SB 1936.
Problems:
SB 1917's description of
rev. "...resting left hand on hip", here holding
globus cruciger, although the photo in
wildwinds shows the gl.cr.
SB 1936 of
Philippopolis is identical, but it lacks Aléxios' name in
legend.
Same on D.O.C.
To concluse, I also don't think it's John (Ιω).
Thank you in advance,
Evangelos C. Tzimas
