Follis - Roger of Salerno Mary praying - 2d type

正面描述	The Virgin Mary (Theotokos) depicted in orant posture, standing frontally with both arms raised in prayer. The figure is shown three-quarter length or full-length, with a nimbus (halo) encircling the head. The Greek abbreviation MH-OV (for Meter Theou, Mother of God) appears in the field to either side of the nimbed head. The style is characteristic of Byzantine-influenced Crusader coinage of the early twelfth century, with a somewhat crude but recognizable rendering.

附加信息	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.
