O-Towner Posted February 11 · Member Share Posted February 11 (edited) Nice find and definitely tough to find! Here's a pic of mine. Justinian I Ae Decanummium, uncertain mint (15mm, 3.7gms): Edited February 11 by O-Towner 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigginSicilia Posted February 11 · Member Author Share Posted February 11 I'm fairly sure this design may have only been minted in Ravenna. Finding it in Sicily is rare, none of the other Sicilian detectorists I know here had seen one found. The time frame they were minted was during the Gothic War, when Sicily was being taken from the Ostrogoths 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ordered all coins be dated during his 12th year as emperor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
