Commentary


Cet exemplaire est une copie barbare, au nom de Valentinien III, avec les légendes encore lisibles et un revers particulièrement stylisé. P. Grierson précise que le prototype du revers est le solidus du type Cohen VIII 212.17. L'exemplaire de Cambridge présente une victoire debout, alors que celle-ci semble bien être assise.

Historical background


PSEUDO-IMPERIAL COINAGE IN THE NAME OF VALENTINIAN III - VISIGOTHS OR BURGUNDIANS

(end of the 5th century)

Many triens imitate the type of imperial coins of Valentinian III (425-455). Traditionally those with victory in profile are attributed to the Visigoths and Burgundians, those with victory in front of the Ostrogoths. The pseudo-imperial series attributed to the Visigoths are dated 417-507 for Gaul and 507-580 for Spain.
