Byzantine cross
Bronze cross pattée, decorated with small concentric circles, with its suspension ring, typical of the Byzantine period.

Attached is a coin minted in Antioch depicting Constantine II, son of Constantine the Great. The legend reads: Constantinus iun(ior) nob(ilissimus) c(aesar) [Constantine the Younger, the most noble Caesar]. The title of Caesar was held by the sons and heirs of an emperor.
