Commentary
Le traitement de la victoire est très particulier ; elle semble assise, comme sur l’exemplaire n° 684 de la collection Kapamadji qui a les légendes dégénérées, mais décrit comme étant au nom d’Anastase et au nom de Justinien. Triens au nom de Justin Ier (518-527).
The treatment of Victory is very particular; she appears to be seated, as in copy No. 684 of the Kapamadji collection, which has degenerate legends, but is described as being in the name of Anastasius and in the name of Justinian. Triens in the name of Justin I (518-527)

Historical background
VISIGOTHIC KINGDOM - AQUITAINE
(5th-6th century)
The Goths were settled at the mouth of the Vistula in the 1st century AD. They divided into Visigoths (Western Goths) and Ostrogoths (Eastern Goths). On August 9, 378, they crushed the Romans at Adrianople where Valens was killed. Alaric, king of the Visigoths, first besieges Ravenna where Honorius resides and takes Rome in 410. Athaulf, his brother-in-law, succeeds him and marries Galla Placidia, Honorius' sister. Wallia, his brother, founded in 419 the kingdom of the Visigoths of Toulouse which was to last a century. Euric (466-484) adds Spain to his kingdom. Clovis, king of the Franks, crushes Alaric II (484-507) at the battle of Vouillé in 507, destroying the Visigoth kingdom of Toulouse. The Visigoths nevertheless retain Spain and Septimania. The Spanish dynasty will reign until Rodrigue and the invasion of the Arabs in 711. It will take the energy of a Charles Martel, Mayor of the Palace, to stop the Muslims in Poitiers in 732.
