RW: “The very thin and flat fabric and a slight presence of silver are suggestive of the Venetian torneselli that circulated in Greece. It is also quite possible that this is not a coin at all. The object has three parallel snips into one edge: fetishistic treatment?“
2007 (July): Corrosion was cleaned mechanically with microairabrasive unit. After cleaning, immersed in solution of Incralac 5% diluted in Toluene for surface protection (Nikol Anastasatou).
Description
Three parallel snips into one edge.
Preservation description
Wear: P. Completely worn surfaces, with moderate, extensive pitting to cratering and flaking; slightly nicked edge.
Either residual in fill, or entered grave after primary burial deposits. Since fill appears undisturbed, a date of Late Roman to Early Byzantine is also possible.
