paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/25/2019 10:29 pm Justinian I mid 6th c. Reverse VICTORIA AVCCC (sic) with Constantinople mint of CONOB in exergue; Victory is seated left, inscribing a shield, a star in the field to her left, a simplified Christogram or staurogram in the field to the right. Appears to be an imitative issue copying an AV semissis, the style is rather simplified. This is not an area of great expertise for me so I would not be able to venture as to whether it was a contemporary issue. A bit of research on the Internet shows that this particular design was one that was copied by the Ostrogoths (which would make a bit of sense, Justinian I and the Byzantines did conquer them after all, at least eventually and for a relatively short while) - perhaps during the reign of Theodoric or more likely Athalaric or Theodahad.
