Tekin 2024: Tremissis. Glass, 1.10 g (broken), 18x2 mm. Inv. no. 30.8.97. Find place: Lower Agora 97/006.a. Acquired in 1997. On the obverse, monogram in relief. It is a tremissis in unit (1/3-nomisma, nomisma of 3.3 g). There is a missing part on the edge (it's broken), so its mass is low. The reverse is plain and blank. It dates to the 5th-7th centuries AD.
