Roger of Salerno governed Antioch as regent following the capture of Bohemond I by the Danishmend Turks in 1100, and his coinage reflects a principality in an awkward constitutional limbo — producing coins in his own right while nominally holding power for another. His tenure ended abruptly at the Field of Blood in 1119, when a Seljuk force under Il-Ghazi annihilated the Antiochene army and killed Roger himself, leaving his body on the field unrecovered for days.
Metcalf's sequencing of this third type within the 95–101 range suggests progressive die revision across the series rather than a single production run.
