A Byzantine follis minted by Justin II in Cyzicus came to light thanks to metal detectors in 2013 in the western part of the civil town of Aquincum. Such finds are rare in Hungary, especially with findspot, but specifically this type has never been found in the Carpathian-basin before. The folles of Justin II are the most common, but still only 18 were previously known from this territory. This coin is the first Byzantine follis from Aquincum, but despite its GPS locations, nothing can be stated about the context, which was disturbed.
