Commentary


Pendilia aux extrémités bouletées. Diadème perlé. Casque avec plumet. buste massif et large. Attribué par Bellinger dans le DOC. I à l’atelier d’Antioche. Les autres auteurs, Cécile Morrisson, Wolfgang Hahn ou Harlan J. Berk maintiennent une attribution à l’atelier de Constantinople. David Sear suit les conclusions de Bellinger et donne ce type à l’atelier d’Antioche.

Historical background


MAURICIUS TIBERIUS

(08/13/582-11/22/602)

Maurice succeeded his father-in-law Tiberius II. After great victories over the Sassanids, he suffered many setbacks in the Balkans and could not prevent the installation of the Slavs and Avars. A military plot overthrew him in 602. He was assassinated while trying to take refuge with Chosroes II.
