Commentary


Pendilia aux extrémités bouletées. Diadème perlé terminé par un cabochon. Cuirasse lisse. Épaulière décorée. Bouclier orné d’un cavalier. Ce type avec le petite croix dans le champ gauche du revers est infiniment beaucoup rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Donné par David Sear à l’atelier de Constantinople, seules les deuxième et dixième officines ont été recensées pour ce type. Il est attribué par W. Hahn à l’atelier d’Alexandrie, frappé au début du règne (565-567).

Historical background


JUSTIN II

(11/15/565-10/5/578)

Justin II, nephew of Justinian I, married Sophia, the niece of Theodora, in 548. They were crowned on November 20, 565. Justin deprived of reason, it was in fact Sophia who governed with the help of Narses, general-in-chief in Italy, which she ends up disgracing. He did not know how to face the problems and the invasions of the Lombards in Italy, the Visigoths in Spain, the Sassanids in the East. Crazy, Justin was associated with Tiberius as Caesar from 574, and for the last four years he was the de facto reigner. Tiberius II was associated as august in September 578. Justin died on October 5.
