Today is May 11th, my birthday🎉🍰. It is also the birthday of Justinian the Great (born in 482) and the anniversary of the dedication of Byzantium as Nova Roma, although it was always referred to as Constantinople. I thought it would be a good idea to celebrate it by posting a coin of Justinian from the Constantinople mint.

Es también el cumpleaños de Justiniano el Grande (nacido en 482) y el aniversario de la consagración de Bizancio como Nova Roma, aunque siempre se la conoció como Constantinopla. He pensado que sería buena idea celebrarlo subiendo una moneda de Justiniano de la ceca de Constantinopla.
