The brothers Anapias and Amphinomus rescued their parents at an eription of the volcanus Etna c. 500-400 BC. They became outstanding examles of the Roman pietas. The rev. depiction is similar to that of Aenaeas carrying his father Anchises out of the burning Troy.Jochen

Sear 0882Heraclius (610 – 641 CE) Countermarked follis, weight 12.4g, diameter 34mm, for use in Sicily. Class 1 countermarks on obverse and reverse imposed on a follis of Justinian from Antioch (Sear 217). The style of the bust – very similar to portraits found on Catanian decanummia from regnal years 9, 10, 11 – suggests that this countermark type dates to circa 620. The host coins for Class 1 countermarks are almost invariably profile bust folles of Anastasius, Justin I and Justinian I, coins which may well have entered Sicily in large numbers with the army of Belisarius in 535 and remained in circulation since. The asymmetric stars, one eight-point and one six-point, make this particular host quite unusual. Abu Galyon
