Follis - Roger of Salerno Mary praying - 2d type

Roger of Salerno governed Antioch as regent following the capture of Bohemund II's father, Bohemund I, by the Danishmend Turks in 1100 — a regency that stretched into an autonomous rule lasting nearly two decades. He died at the Field of Blood in 1119, when an Artuqid and Seljuk coalition under Il-Ghazi annihilated the Antiochene field army and killed Roger himself, leaving his body unrecovered for days. This follis type belongs to the closing years of that regency.

The Metcalf 73-74 classification distinguishes this as the second die type, differentiated from the first by subtle epigraphic variations in the Greek legends.
