Deciphering the Dodecanummia of Heraclius and Constans

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article offers new explanations of the letters appearing in association with a cross between the numerals Ι and Β on the reverses of the dodecanummia struck at Alexandria in Egypt under Heraclius and Constans II. It is argued that these all abbreviate Greek terms used in connection with the worship of Christ or veneration of his cross.
