Comments
Second reform large module coinage. From the first primary emission (512-517) denoted by a lack of pellets.
The first primary emission began with the reform of the monetary system in 512 and ended with the beginning of the new indictional cycle on the 1st of September 517.
The decanummia of the second reform were struck to a theoretical weight standard of 4.54g or 1/72nd of a Roman pound.
