Romanus IV, 1 January 1068 - 19 August1071 A.D.

Romanus IV, Diogenes was the second husband of Eudocia, who it would seem, married him to supply the Byzantine Empire with an emperor. Eudocia was serving as regent, but conditions required an emperor, thus the marriage to the general, Romanus IV. He was taken prisoner during a military campaign against the Turks and Eudocia was restored to the throne, along with her son, Michael. A position, in reality, she had probably never left.


	The letters on the reverse have been interpreted to abbreviate, "O Cross, preserve Emperor Romanus."
