Cross potent above globe between two crosses pattée, within raised dotted border. 0.18 g. 11.5 mm. RRR. Extremely rare and unpublished in the standard references:
For iconographic prototypes: cf. MIBE II, Tiberius II, Ravenna 22 and Maurice, Ravenna 64; Ranieri 447-9 and 483; Bernareggi, ‘problem di Numismatica: le cosidette “silique di Pertarito”’, AIIN 12-14, 1965 pp, 119-130, pls 22-23, 1-16; MEC I, 328-331.
For denomination cf. M. O’Hara and I. Vecchi, ‘A find of Byzantine silver from the mint of Rome for the period AD 641-752, RSN 64, 1985, pp. 105-140, 1-20. Good VF. The denomination of 1/8 of a siliqua, or I carat weight, was the smallest silver denomination employed in Byzantine Rome and Ravenna, cf. MIB III: Justinian I 79, Heraclius 152-157, Constans II MIB III, Contantine IV MIB 73-76, Justinian II first reign MIB III 43, Leontius I MIB 30-31 and seems to have ended with Tiberius III MIB 71-72, after which it was replacement by its copper equivalent of 30 Nummis and Rome, cf.
