Very nice pickup giano!
To embed your photos into a post, get the URL of your image (when on the links above, right-click on your image and select "copy image location" to get the URL), then when making a post, click on thisAnother-Justinian-I-Follis-Well-Preserved
Put the URL in between the tags, and you will get the images in your post.

I think you used the URLS you posted initially, which is causing the broken image.
So, what you need to do is go to those pages, then right-click each picture to get the actual image code, which will end with the .jpg suffix. Then add the image tags I mentioned above, and everything should work. Also, make sure there is no space or "hard return" between the tags and image URL. That breaks images too.

You have to go into your page first. The image icon only works when it has the direct link of the image, not of the page with the image on it. The URL's you should get should have ".jpg" at the end of them.

Another way to get the URL's is to left click the image, and hold down, don't let go of the button. While you still have the button pressed down, a black circle with a line in it should appear when you move the mouse. Drag it to the address bar and it will turn into a gray box. Let go of the button. The page should just have the image and the correct URL is now in the address bar. Do this for both images.

Use BBC code on this site, it does not accept HTML code. You first need to get the URL of the image by right clicking on it and then going to image properties, it's different per browser.

Just place the image URL between IMG tags.

Here is the tutorial for it on this site. Forum FAQ.

Trust me, it's easy once you get the hang of it. I'd show you the code for it here, but there is no function to show the code, or it's not working right.

It's certainly a nice coin and a large one too. I don't own any right now, but plan on it in the future.

The obverse has more of a late Roman style to it, I think. The portrait facing right. Although, a lot of Byzantine coins have facing portraits on the obverse. From what I saw, anyways.

The bust is a little more well-preserved than others of this type I've seen, including the one I own.

And it has full legends, which is a plus in my book.

Very nice coin, excellent detail. I believe this is Sear 158, officina looks like gamma.

In fact if you look at the obverse it's very similar to a late roman coin like honorius,arcudius,valentinian etc....as I always say at the beginnig byzantine coins are similar to roman ones.
About officnia I think it can be gamma as you say.
To be honest it's the first time I can take a byzantine coin in this state of preservation,other I have are all in a lower one.....and the price goes up,even for byzantine(usually cheapest than roman).
