BYZANTINE EMPIRE: Constantine V Copronymus, with Leo IV & Leo III, 741-775, AV solidus (4.47g), Constantinople, SB-1551, crowned facing busts of Constantine on left and Leo IV on right, cross above // crowned facing bust of the late Leo III, holding cross potent, XF, ex CNG Auction 97, Lot 785. A fervent iconoclast, Constantine questioned the legitimacy of any representation of God or Christ. His destruction of religious iconography and persecution of the opposition led to his vilification by later Byzantine historians and writers, who denigrated him with the epithet Copronymus, "the dung-named."
