Commentary
Ce triens est du même type que celui de la vente Kapamadji, n°716, classé en imitations diverses, dont la légende de revers est PERPAVG. Sur notre monnaie, la légende de revers est fautive, avec PRETAVG. Triens au nom de Zénon.
This triens is of the same type as the one in the Kapamadji sale, no. 716, classified as various imitations, whose reverse legend is PERPAVG. On our coin, the reverse legend is incorrect, with PRETAVG. Triens in the name of Zeno

Historical background
OSTROGOTHIC - Uncertain imitations
(5th - 5th century AD)
Coinage in the name of Zeno
The deposition of Romulus Augustule in 476 by Odoacer marks the end of the Western Roman Empire. Odoacer returns the imperial insignia to Constantinople, contenting himself with the title of patrician. In fact, he is Italy's first barbarian king. He was assassinated in 493 at the instigation of Théoderic who was to create a veritable empire, not only over Italy, but also over Gaul with the control of Septimania. He created the Bologna mint and his coins were first imitations in the name of Zeno then, after 498, imitations in the name of Anastasius. He clashes with the first Merovingian monarchs, in particular Clovis. At his death, the Ostrogothic kingdom will not survive him and the Byzantines take over Italy from 534.
