Details

Obverse translation: “Dominus Noster Procopius Pius Felix Augustus”, (Our lord Procopius pious happy august). Reverse translation: “Reparatio Felicitas Temporum”, (The return of happy times). Very heavy weight. Type 3 ribbons with ball ends. Pterygus invisible under the paludamentum. Object in the field on the left of the reverse, chrism in the field on the right. Standard decorated with a star with 8 spokes The Constantinople workshop operates with seven pharmacies. With this type of setback, which is by far the rarest for Procopius, all the pharmacies are listed. It seems that we have two broadcasts for the Constantinople workshop with or without a point. RC 4124; C.8 (30f.). MRK157 / 6 var; Compare LRBC 2082/2081; Constantinople RIC 17a (R2); Procopius, a relative of Julien who had promised him the Empire in case of death, revolted against Valens at the end of the year 365. He seized Constantinople and remained there for nine months. He was defeated and executed by Valens.
