Heraclius, with Heraclius Constantine, Constantinople, 610-641 AD
AR Hexagram, 23.5mm, 5.84g
Obverse: "dd NN ҺЄRAC[LIЧS ЄT ҺЄRA CON]" Heraclius and Heraclius Constantine seated facing on double throne, each wearing crown with cross and chlamys, and holding globus cruciger in right hand, between their heads, cross.
Reverse: "dЄЧS Ad[IЧTA ROMA]NIS" Cross potent on base above globe and three steps.
Although it has a small break, this coin is a great example of a coin reflecting one of the most desperate times in Roman History, bearing a message on the reverse that translates to "May God Help The Romans". These types were minted with silver that was melted down from church treasures, in a desperate attempt to raise forces to fight the Sassanids. Very few types have quite as good of a story as this one.
