Notes
The X on shaft (of either a cross or a labarum) is seen as a marker on coins of Basil II (976-1025) and Michael VII (1071-1078), but has heretofore not been noted on coins of Constantine X.
The author died in 1067, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.
