     Maurice Tiberius. 582-602 AD. AV Solidus (4.24 gm).
     Constantinople mint. Helmeted and cuirassed facing bust, holding
     globus cruciger / Angel holding long P-headed cross and globus
     cruciger; Z/CONOB. DOC I 5h; SB 478. VF. 714490.

     Maurice Tiberius was one of the most capable and active Byzantine
     rulers, and had a long and mostly successful reign. Yet he met an
     undeserved end due to a single critical error. He ordered his
     soldiers, who were battling Slavic invaders, to spend the winter
     in the icy wilds of Thrace rather than return to quarters near
     Constantinople. Predictably, the troops revolted and raised a
     brutish centurion, Phocas, to the purple. Maurice and his sons
     were slaughtered, and the Empire plunged into decades of chaos
     from which it never fully recovered.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,
      MasterCard, American Express). The manner of payment accepted is
                subject to our qualification of the bidder.

        CNG's Domestic, Canadian, and International postage rates.

         Pennsylvania residents please add appropriate sales tax.
