Commentary


Poids léger. Exemplaire stylisé au droit. Au droit, nous avons deux types d’ornementation sur le Diadème, une croix ou trèfle trifolié et deux types de bustes bien différents, le premier grossier et le second fin. Notre exemplaire appartient au premier groupe.Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux avec la légende complète.

Historical background


MAURICIUS TIBERIUS

(08/13/582-11/22/602)

Maurice succeeded his father-in-law Tiberius II. After great victories over the Sassanids, he suffered many setbacks in the Balkans and could not prevent the installation of the Slavs and Avars. A military plot overthrew him in 602. He was assassinated while trying to take refuge with Chosroes II.
