Commentary
Antioche, la seconde ville de l’Empire avec 300.000 habitants fut détruite par un gigantesque séisme le 29 novembre 528 qui fit 50.000 victimes. Justinien fit reconstruire la cité qui fut nommée, en rite de protection, Theoupolis (La ville de Dieu). A. Bellinger dans son corpus de Washington a relevé six types différents pour le follis. Notre pièce appartient à la classe C, utilisée pour les années régnales, 20, 21 et 22 entre 546/7 et 548/9. D. R. Sear pense que la fabrication s'est prolongée jusqu'en l'an 24 (550/1). L'atelier comportait normalement cinq officines pour l'émission.

Justinian had the city rebuilt, which was named, as a rite of protection, Theoupolis (The City of God). A. Bellinger, in his Washington corpus, identified six different types for the follis. Our coin belongs to class C, used for the regnal years 20, 21, and 22 between 546/7 and 548/9. Dr. Sear believes that production continued until the year 24 (550/1). The mint normally had five workshops for the issue.
