Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 12/05/2013 08:29 am The ostrogoth are all anepigraphic, so that must be a poor attempt by an unofficial mint. Legends garbled or poorly engraved - perhaps they put DIVO CLAVDIO by accident. Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 01/01/2014 8:33 pm Thanks guys! Wee little thing too, at 15 mm (ok not super tiny but smaller than I expected!). I think it deserves extra points for depicting King Athalaric himself on the reverse, as opposed to a monogram or just his name in a wreath (not that I wouldn't want an example of either ). What would be even better imo would be a follis of Theodahad with his portrait on the obverse but that's a wallet-killer. Edited by VisigothKing 01/01/2014 8:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
