A bronze or copper coin of the late Roman and Byzantine world.
The follis was introduced in the reign of Diocletian around the year 296 and remained a standard small coin in the Byzantine empire for centuries. The Latin word originally meant a bag or purse, which is why the coin is named after a container of money. Collectors prize examples that still show the emperor's portrait clearly.
