Matt2727 Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 07/23/2017 3:42 pm Hey all, I'm normally okay with identifying Byzantines, but these scyphates are just so hard to put a finger on. Plus, I'm pretty sure they're not on WildWinds, which is what I use. All help is appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 07/23/2017 8:34 pm @Matt, that's a great Trachy that you have there. I really like the detail on both sides of your coin. Also, I agree with @echizento's attribution. The obv inscription should be something like I/CAA/KI/OC on the left of Isaac and {delta}EC / {PI}O/TH/C on the right of Isaac, although Sear mentions that there are many variations in the inscriptions.

Matt2727 Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 07/23/2017 11:31 pm Thanks for your compliment Spence. I actually picked it out of a lot of scyphates, with this being the best looking one. Thanks to both you guys for the help. Much appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
