46 - Solidus Coin, Maurice Tiberius, Eastern Roman Empire, 583/584–602 AD, gold, Obverse legend: […] - TIbPPAVC Obverse description: At the centre, a frontal bust of Emperor Maurice Tiberius, wearing a cuirass and military cloak, and a helmet adorned with a plume and lateral pendilia. He holds a globus cruciger in his right hand. Reverse legend: VICTORI - AAVCCI / CONOB Reverse description: A standing angel facing forward, with wings outstretched, holding in the right hand a long staff surmounted by a staurogram-type Christogram, and in the left hand a globus cruciger. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Maurice Tiberius and, based on its typological and iconographic features, is dated approximately to 583/584–602. Although no major changes are evident from a metrological standpoint, this period may be regarded as one of transition, as the Roman iconographic tradition began to be gradually abandoned and replaced by a distinctive Byzantine-inspired style. Thus, martial symbols (helmet, spear and shield) were replaced by emblems of imperial authority, such as the crown, globus cruciger and richly ornamented garments. Accordingly, the piece provides an illustrative record of the sociocultural transformations in the Byzantine world during the First Dynasty, d = 19.76 mm, This lot is being classified by the Romanian Ministry of Heritage.
