A silver denomination with the nominal value of 1/12 of the nomisma. It was introduced under emperor Leo III in 720 and continued to be struck until the mid-eleventh century collapse. The coin was characteristic for its design which remained virtually unchanged for 200 years: the five or six-row inscription on the obverse and the cross on steps surrounded with the motto ‘Jesus Christ Conquers’ on the reverse.
