Well centered strike, on a wide flan. A small cross has been discreetly engraved in the obverse field, to the right of the emperor's portrait. From the Mare Nostrum hoard (1954). This extraordinary find, consisting of 426 solidi in an exceptional state of preservation, was acquired without us knowing its provenance. Nevertheless, we can say that it is a maritime treasure, if we refer to the traces of marine concretions visible on several specimens that survived. The set, which includes mostly coins dating from the end of the Western Roman Empire, is a remarkable testimony of the monetary circulation in this troubled period. The present coin will be published in the book dedicated to this find, by I. Vecchi, R. Beale and S. Parkin (2022).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"headCaption\"\u003eD N LEO PE-RPET AVG\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"reverseCaption\"\u003eVICTORI-A AVGGG \/\/ CONOB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e4.33 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58650999587148,"sku":"1546373","price":2390.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/1546373A.jpg?v=1788274912","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/1546373-roman-empire-leo-i-solidus-462-466-constantinople-gold-au-55-58-ric-605","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
