Post by: Gabalor on June 06, 2013, 04:01:10 pm

Bonjour à tous,

Je recherche toute info pour ce poids du sou d'or romain:

J'ai trouvé peu d'infos sur le net, et ma bibliothèque est assez pauvre sur cette époque.

Un grand merci à tous

Hi,
Your weight looks to be a weight of Honorius.

It should read DN HONORI going up beind the head and VS AVG coming down in front of the diademed, draped bust. The reverse reads EXAGIVM SOLIDI with a standing figure of Moneta.

Reference: Bendall "An Introduction to Byzantine Weights" no. 5, citing Sabatier 3

Bendall also notes that it is unusual that this is one of the few known weights in the name of a western emperor.

Regards,

Mauseus

Oui, les lettres visibles semblent correspondre pour Honorius.

Cordialement
