Historical background
JUSTIN II
(11/15/565-10/5/578)
Justin, the nephew of Justinian and Theodora succeeded his uncle in 565. This issue can be particularly well dated because, on the death of the emperor, the new august wore a beard as a sign of mourning. Justinian having died on October 5, this issue is not later than the beginning of 566.
