Benefactor Simon Posted May 27, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted May 27, 2023 This poor fellow only ruled for two months. He was injured in Battle and not expected to live long. He did not. Stauracius never had a chance to issue coins on his own, here is a more common one of him and the previous Emperor Nicephorus. Nicephorus I, with Stauracius, 802-811. Follis (Bronze, 23 mm, 5.83 g, 5 h), Constantinopolis. Facing busts of Nicephorus I, with short beard, wearing chlamys, on the left and Stauracius, beardless, wearing chlamys on the right, both wearing crown surmounted by cross; between their heads, cross. Rev. Large M between X/X/X and N/N/N; above, cross; below, A. DOC 5. SB 1607. Very fine. Anybody else have a short turn ruler in there collection? Please share. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrefn Posted May 27, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2023 Stauracius certainly had a sad fate, but at least his skull was not made into a drinking cup, as his father’s was. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted May 27, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 27, 2023 Awesome coins. However, it's a bit hard to participate. One would have to be Croesus to buy the Byzantine short-termers, such as Mezezius, Artabasdos, Zoe and Eudocia, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
