Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm; in fields, M-D; in exergue, COM. Depeyrot 11/2; RIC IX 29.1. AV. 1.49 g. 13.5 mm. RRR. Very rare and superb example for type, with an expressive portrait. EF. Flavius Eugenius, closely associated with the magister militum Arbogast and supported by the Frankish tribes, was proclaimed augustus of the West in 392 in Lugdunum upon the death of Valentinian II. However, his colleague in the East, Theodosius I, did not recognize him, and he was therefore considered a usurper. Eugenius was previously known as a teacher of Latin grammar and rhetoric, then held the position of magister criniorum (head of the chancellery). He arrived in Rome in 393 and, despite being a Christian, adopted a tolerant policy towards pagans, allowing the reopening of the temple of Venus, the restoration of the altar of Victory, and the celebration of pagan religious festivities. This attitude was in clear contrast to Theodosius' policy and also created tensions with the powerful bishop of Milan, Ambrose. A conflict soon followed, and Theodosius defeated the army commanded by Arbogast in 394 in the Battle of the Frigidus. Eugenius was put to death by beheading as a traitor.

III, variété 2, pl. CXX and 27, n. 71 (this coin); Depeyrot 61/1; RIC X 2823. AV. 4.51 g. 20 mm. RRR. Extremely rare and great example. EF. Procopius Anthemius was originally from Galicia. The son of a magister militum and grandson of a praetorian prefect, he married Marciana, daughter of Emperor Marcian. After his marriage, he was appointed comes on the Danube to reinforce Roman defenses along the frontier and was then promoted by Marcian to consul (together with Valentinian III) and patricius. For his loyalty demonstrated in the victorious campaigns against the Ostrogoths and Huns in 467, upon the death of Libius Severus, Leo I appointed him augustus of the West, entrusting him with bringing the provinces of Africa and Gaul, which were in the hands of the barbarians, back under Roman control. Anthemius arrived in Rome and gave his daughter in marriage to the powerful magister militum of the West, Ricimer, to ensure his loyalty, but his reign did not last long. He waged war against Genseric, but the expedition proved disastrous because of the fleet commanders, Basiliscus and Marcellinus. Even in Gaul, things were going badly: the Visigoth Euric, successor to Theoderic II, defeated the Roman army on the Rhone and killed the emperor's son, Antemiolus, thanks in part to the betrayal of the praetorian prefect of Gaul, Arvandus, who seems to be planning usurpation. The defeats obviously did not help to maintain high approval ratings and loyal allies, and even Ricimer distanced himself from Antemius and moved against him. Ricimer left Mediolanum and entered Rome in 472 after a fierce siege. Antemius was captured and beheaded.

Lot # 474 - Ostrogothic Italy. Non-Regal Bronze Issue from the time of Theoderic and Athalaric. AE Follis. Early to mid 6th century. 'Countermarked' early Imperial bronze issue. XLII (mark of value = 42 Nummi) cut into obverse of AE As of Claudius. D/ [...]G P M TR P IMP. Bare head of Claudius left, XLII cut behind. R/ S - C. Minerva advancing right, brandishing spear and holding shield. For undertype, cf. Claudius RIC I (2nd ed.) 100. AE. 7.1 g. 27 mm. R. Rare and interesting. About VF/Good F. These countermarked issues have long been considered as made in Vandalic North Africa, but the hoard evidence and the results of the latest studies makes it seem that they were, in fact, made in the Ostrogothic Italy, and were in use there during the first quarter or first half of the 6th century (Cf, NAC, May 1993, 457). The mark of value XLII refer to a twelfth of a silver unit valued at 500 nummi, which itself amount to the 24th fraction of a gold solidus valued at 12,000 nummi. (Cf. Grierson, MEC, p.28-31). These are not countermarked coins in the usual sense of word, since the LXII figure was not punched or stamped with a single instrument, but seems to have been cut or incised with several chisel strokes. (C. Morrisson,1983). J. Friedlander suggested that for the more finely incised series the pieces were certainly softened by fire in order to be able to engrave more easily the deep and crude strokes. (“Die Erwerbungen des Konigl. Munzkabinets vom 1.Jan.1877 bis 31 Marz 1878” ZfN VI, 1879, p.1-26). Such crude workmanship seem to point to the markings being done by private persons, at least in the case of the most anomalous countermarks. While for the more finely incised countermarks – like our outstanding example – the role of some official authority cannot be excluded. (C. Morrisson). Tentatively, Morrisson suggests that an official practice of marking and re-issuing older bronzes was followed with varying success by private individuals as and when they came into possession of similar pieces. The only paper devoted solely to these countermarked coins is : Morrisson, C. “The re-use of obsolete coins : the case of Roman imperial bronzes revived in the late fifth century” in: ed. C.N.L. (Brooke et al. Studies in Numismatic Method presented to Philip Grierson, Cambridge 1983).XLVI, 487.

Lot # 475 - Ostrogothic Italy, Amalasuntha (534-535). AR Quarter Siliqua in the name of Justinian I. Ravenna mint. D/ DN IVSTINIAN AVG. Pearl-diademed and mantled bust right. R/ Monogram of Theoderic (no cross above) within wreath. Kraus 3 (Hildebrand); MEC 1, 138 (Witigis); MIB 59 (Witigis); COI 64 (Witigis). AR. 0.62 g. 12 mm. RRR. Rare and choice for type. EF. This restitution series featuring the monogram of Theodoric has been examined by scholars. Grierson suggests that it was minted during the early part of Theodahad's reign, when Amalasuntha was officially recognised as the new sovereign. These quarter siliquae display Justinian's name on the obverse and the monogram of Amalasuntha's father on the reverse. Grierson argues that this was necessary for the Ostrogoths to acknowledge her rule. However, Hahn and Metlich have differing views, attributing this series to Witigis instead.

The last of the Lombard kings to rule in Italy, Desiderius was not a member of the royal family, but an important officer in the royal court. Upon the death of his predecessor, Aistulf, Desiderius was appointed king. Like his predecessors, Desiderius hoped to expand Lombardic power in Italy, but this policy led to conflict with the papacy and the southern Italian dukedoms, including Benevento and Spoleto, all of whom had been moving closer to the Carolingian sphere of influence. Desiderius was able to exercise control over the southern dukedoms. His attempt to intervene in papal affairs was less successful; his appointee, the Antipope Philip reigned for only a single day. And to achieve a rapprochement with the Carolingians, Desiderius gave his daughter, Desiderata, in marriage to Charlemagne. The marriage lasted only briefly and Desiderata was soon returned to her father. This, combined with Desiderius’ support of Gerberga, the widow of Charlemagne’s brother, Carloman I, resulted in a war between the Carolingians and the Lombards. Desiderius was eventually defeated and forced to retire to a monastery where he died.
