The Nea(polis?) Folles of Heraclius

Abstract

This paper reviews the different logical possibilities in the case of a small group of copper coins
struck under the emperor Heraclius that have been traditionally attributed to a town named
Neapolis. The difficulty in identifying the location of this Neapolis, usually identified as either
Nablus in Palestine or Limassol in Cyprus, is highlighted, as is the doubt even as to whether
the group is really attributable to any town of this name.
