English:
Hlaf-Siliqua. Half-Siliqua byzantine silver coin. Carphagen mint. 616. Heraclius I, depicted without a beard, one one side and his son Constantine III together with Heraclius second wife Martina. Heraclius I wears paludamentum - a military cloak, like that which the Greeks called chlamys. It was fastened with a fibula or clasp upon the right shoulder, in such a manner as to leave that side uncovered in order to give freedom to the right arm. Constantine wears a tablion was a type of Byzantine cloak (paludamentum) pinned at the right shoulder hanging to the hips, made of rich Byzantine silk embroidered with a square or diamond shaped pattern on the front. Tablions were symbols of rank and could only be worn by members of the upper class. Martina wears velarion (βηλάριον) - women's headscarf that covers both the head and shoulders. All three have pendilias - ornamentation hanging from the sides of their crowns.
