Commentary


Ce type est de la plus grande rareté et semble beaucoup moins courant que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente. G. Depeyrot ne recense qu’un exemplaire pour ce type, celui du musée du Vatican. Sur notre exemplaire, la lettre d’officine (A) semble regravée sur un H (huitième).

Historical background


ZENO and LEO II CAESAR

(9/02-17/11/474)

Zeno married Ariadne, daughter of Leo I, around 466. Their son, Leo II, succeeded his grandfather in 474, but in fact it was Zeno who assumed power from February 9 as emperor, before that Leo II died on November 17, 474.
