So I had to include him in this week's purchases. Tiny guy, AE3, but partially legible legends and was on the super cheap side. I also like the 3 Emperor motif.
Honorius!
Sorry these pictures are really sucko
Thanks for also tolerating my terrible pictures.

or maybe it's bird feed
"At that time they say that the Emperor Honorius in Ravenna received the message from one of the eunuchs, evidently a keeper of the poultry, that Rome had perished. And he cried out and said, 'And yet it has just eaten from my hands!' For he had a very large c***, Rome by name; and the eunuch comprehending his words said that it was the city of Rome which had perished at the hands of Alaric, and the emperor with a sigh of relief answered quickly: 'But I thought that my fowl Rome had perished.' So great, they say, was the folly with which this emperor was possessed." Procopius, The Vandalic War (III.2.25–26)"
This is a Thessaly piece I bought from Bronzemat that looks terribly distorted from a combination of my terrible photography and a super crazy blown up picture.

Never heard that one before. I have a few neighbors with chickens. Five, I think. From now on I shall refer to them as "____, keeper of the poultry"
