Commentary


Poids lourd. Pas de césur dans la légende de droit. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente. Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages de référence !.
Heavyweight. No hyphenation in the legal legend. This is the first time we've offered this type for sale. Seems much rarer than the reference works suggest!

Historical background


LEO I

(7/02/457-18/01/474)

Leo I (411-474) was an officer of Dacian origin. He succeeded Marcian in 457, tried to reform the army. He counterbalanced the influence of the Germans by a massive entry of Isaurians, including Zeno, his future son-in-law who married Ariadne, the eldest daughter of the emperor and Verina in 467. Leon fell seriously ill in 473. He then chose his little -son, Leo II, to succeed him. Leo I died the following year and Zeno wasted no time in seizing power by joining forces with his son, Leo II, before ousting him..
