A coin issued by Lombard king Ratchis; the obverse depicts a facing barbarian bust (bearded and with parted hair), the reverse an armoured Archangel Michael in profile. The coin reads D M RATCHIS and SE RE NO on the obverse; SCS MIHAIL on the reverse: "our lord Ratchis", "Sereno" (a moneyer?) and "Saint Michael" respectively.

Note that the time indicated in the first post is not set in stone yet. The entire strand (which I am helping organise and moderate) is dedicated to the #Lombards (also known as #Langobards or #Longobards), a gens well deserving of more attention in wider historiography. Attached, a coin of Ratchis!
