Historical background

MONNAYAGE PSEUDO-IMPERIAL IN THE NAME OF ANASTASIUS I - VISIGOTHS OR BURGUNDIANS

(early 6th century)

Many triens imitate the type of imperial coins of Anastasius I (491-518). Traditionally those with victory in profile are attributed to the Visigoths and Burgundians, those with victory in front of the Ostrogoths.
