Poids léger. Pendilia bouletées. Cuirasse ornée de trois clous. Le bouclier est orné d’un cavalier galopant à droite. Les folles de la fin du règne semblent plus rares. Ce type pour la cinquième officine n’est recensé que dans la collection du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF.
Lightweight. Pendilia pellets. Breastplate decorated with three nails. The shield is decorated with a galloping rider on the right. Madwomen from the end of the reign seem rarer. This type for the fifth pharmacy is only listed in the collection of the BnF Medal Cabinet

Historical background


JUSTINIAN I

(1/08/527-14/11/565)

Justinian succeeded his uncle Justin in 527 after a co-regency from April 4 to August 1, 527. He reigned with Empress Theodora. The construction of Hagia Sophia was completed under his reign, which marks the height of the Byzantine conquests. Carthage as well as Africa and part of Numidia were reconquered from the Vandals thanks to General Bélisaire. After a century of Vandal domination, Romanism once again reigned over the Mediterranean. Belisarius then attacked the Ostrogoths and took Rome on December 9, 536. Theodora died in 545. Justinian reigned another twenty years. Childless, his nephew Justin II succeeded him..
