Commentary


Deuxième exemplaire signalé après celui de la collection du Dumbarton Oaks (Do. 15). Ce type est repris et accepté par C. Morrisson dans le catalogue du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF (vol. I, p. 128). En revanche, il n’est pas repris dans les ouvrages généraux de Sear ou de Sommer. Il est rejeté par W. Hahn qui pense que l’exemplaire du Dumbarton Oaks avec un poids de 0,80 g est trop lourd pour un demi-tremissis. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Cabochon gemmé carré. Fibule d’attache sur l’épaule. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum.

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.
