Notes

  • Note: The obverse legend bearing the name of Alexander is characterized by the form XS. The date of the token is controversial and it is generally referred to the reign of Honorius (AD 395-423), since one of the specimens of the Asina series carries the cuirassed and pearl-diademed bust of the emperor Honorius on the obverse.
