Wow! Thank you for the info. It’s certainly helps make the article more relevant for me.

BTW, how in the world did you find the “Histamenon noumisma?”

BTW, how in the world did you find the “Histamenon noumisma?”

I obtained it at an auction ~ 10 years ago, along with this one below.

That jeweler and I did the same thing with this second one which was minted during the solo portion of the reign of Constantine VIII (1025 -1028 AD).

It does not have quite so high a relief, but it is ~ 1.5 x larger in diameter (roughly the same weight in gold though):

FReegards!
