Leo RIC X,2509/R5
« on: May 19, 2023, 06:34:19 am »
Sorting through my fifth-century nummi, about a thousand, I came across this example of Leo I with an epigraphic reverse with the figure of the emperor with a palm branch in his left hand and a globe with a cross in his right. It seems to me that it corresponds to RIC X,2509/R5.
Unfortunately, neither in the RIC nor in any other source do I find any images, but the more I look at him carefully, the more he seems to me!
Weighs 1.10 g with a diameter of 10 mm.
What do you think?

It's what I see too - especially given pose, halo, orb & spear.  But not my century of expertise.
