TOKENS AND WEIGHTS, 4th-6th centuries. Host coin a follis from the Commemorative Series, 330-354. Follis (Bronze, 16 mm, 2.07 g, 3 h), Heraclea, 330-333. Blank. Rev. She-wolf standing left, head facing, suckling Romulus and Remus; above, two eight-pointed stars; in exergue, •SMHЄ. RIC 119. Edge serrated and the obverse flattened. Minor traces of corrosion on the reverse, otherwise, very fine.



The purpose of such serrated pieces is debated, however, their use as weights for solidi and semisses among the numerous evidently weight-standardized pieces of around 4 and 2 grams, respectively, is very likely.
