| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal bust of Saint Januarius (San Gennaro), patron saint of Naples, depicted in a hieratic Byzantine style with a prominent nimbus or halo surrounding the head. The saint is shown draped in episcopal vestments and appears to hold a codex or gospel book in the left arm. The figure displays the characteristic large, schematic eyes and stylized drapery typical of early medieval Southern Italian coinage under Byzantine cultural influence. A partial legend referencing the saint's name appears to either side of the figure in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The anonymous follis fractions of Ducal Naples occupy one of the murkiest corners of early medieval Italian numismatics. Naples had broken from effective Byzantine administrative control by the mid-eighth century, with the duchy operating under its own dukes while nominally acknowledging Constantinople — a political ambiguity that almost certainly explains the absence of any issuing authority's name on these bronzes. Attribution to the 755–800 window remains scholarly convention rather than settled fact, built on typological comparisons rather than documentary evidence.
MEC XIV remains the standard reference for this material, though the series is sparsely represented in major collections.
