Marcian was Byzantine Emperor from 450 to 457.

Marcian's rule marked a recovery of the Eastern Empire, which the Emperor protected from external menaces and reformed economically and financially. On the other side, the isolationistic policies of Marcian left the Western Roman Empire without help against barbarian attacks, which materialized in the Italian campaigns of Attila and in the Vandal sack of Rome (455).

Obv: Emperor facing right
Legend: [DN MARCIAN] VS PF AV [G]
Rev: Monogram in wreath
Diameter: 11,5mm
Mass: 1,24 gram

It's amazing that you ID'ed that one. Not common.

This one was easy. The big S below in the monogram gave it away

I have a few monogram Roman AE4s, IIRC, but not a Marcian. (And might well only have the one Leo.)

Still hope to get one of those eventually. Zeno too, but that's much rarer.

I believe I have another one. Not sure where I left it, though
