Jovian standing left, wearing military attire, holding globe and vexillum with christogram; Persian captive seated on ground to left, looking right.RIC 110; Depeyrot 23/1.RareJovian was the son of Varronianus, born in Singidunum in 331, and served as 'protector domesticus' first under Constantius II and then under Julian II. Upon Julian’s death, he was proclaimed Augustus. He was immediately forced to negotiate with the Persians because the army was exhausted and starving from the long war and eager to return home. Shapur II, realizing the Romans’ difficult situation, took advantage of it to secure the territories conquered by Diocletian beyond the Tigris River. Jovian accepted the unfair terms of peace and signed an unfavorable treaty, forced to abandon important territories and the Christian fortress of Nisibis. After that, Jovian reaffirmed the supremacy of Christianity over paganism, perhaps even prohibiting certain sacrifices and ordering the closure of temples. His ambitious goal was the religious reunification of the empire. But during his return journey to Rome, he died under mysterious circumstances, likely from intoxication or poisoning. He was buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles of Constantinople and was granted the 'consecratio'. Condition: Uncirculated.Weight: 4.47 g. Diameter: 21 mm.Estimate: € 5000.

Victory standing left, holding long staff surmounted by reversed staurogram; star to left.MIBE 7; DOC 7a; Sear 5.Anastasius was nicknamed ‘dikoros’ (=two pupils) because of the different color of his eyes. When Zeno died, since he had no living heirs, his widow Ariadne had the difficult choice of appointing a successor to the people, who demanded an orthodox emperor. Ariadne eventually chose Anastasius, about whom we only know that he was a palace official, responsible for maintaining silence during important sacred ceremonies. After Zeno's funeral, Anastasius received the crown from the patriarch, was acclaimed augustus by the crowd in 491, and married Ariadne to legitimize the succession. His main task was to restore Constantinople's finances, which had been severely affected during his predecessor's reign. He managed to balance the budget despite a policy of tax relief, making the people pay less tax, but in cash rather than in kind. This favored the cities but was to the detriment of the people living in the countryside, and in fact many revolts broke out in rural areas. He also revolutionized the tax collection system by introducing the ‘vindices’ and encouraged the return of copper folles, which began to circulate again with a precise value ratio to the gold solidus. Anastasius demonstrated wisdom and competence, and the Byzantine Empire flourished once again. A great amount of money flowed into the state treasury, which favored the work of his successors, particularly Justinian I. With regard to foreign policy, Anastasius reached an agreement with Theodoric, king of the Roman-Barbarian kingdom in Italy, promoting trade that benefited both kingdoms. Despite his undeniable qualities as an administrator, Anastasius was constantly threatened by intrigues and uprisings. He was also engaged in a long war against the Persians (502-506), which ended with a peace treaty and the construction of the Anastasian Wall to defend Constantinople along the Propontis and the Black Sea. However, the internal situation was more delicate. The emperor was not orthodox, as the people had asked Ariadne, but a convinced Monophysite, and he attracted much dissent, partly because he contributed to distancing the Eastern Church from that of Rome by interfering in the nomination of the new pope. The discontent led to a civil war (513-515) with the insurrection of Vitalian at the head of the Isaurians, who was eventually defeated by the general Marinus of Syria. Anastasius died in 518 at the age of almost ninety, but left no children to succeed him to the throne. Condition: Extremely fine.Weight: 4.49 g. Diameter: 22 mm.Estimate: € 800.

When Zeno died, since he had no living heirs, his widow Ariadne had the difficult choice of appointing a successor to the people, who demanded an orthodox emperor. Ariadne eventually chose Anastasius, about whom we only know that he was a palace official, responsible for maintaining silence during important sacred ceremonies. After Zeno's funeral, Anastasius received the crown from the patriarch, was acclaimed augustus by the crowd in 491, and married Ariadne to legitimize the succession. His main task was to restore Constantinople's finances, which had been severely affected during his predecessor's reign. He managed to balance the budget despite a policy of tax relief, making the people pay less tax, but in cash rather than in kind. This favored the cities but was to the detriment of the people living in the countryside, and in fact many revolts broke out in rural areas.

Angel standing facing, holding globus cruciger and long staff surmounted by staurogram.MIBE 6; DOC 5f; Sear 478.Maurice, born in 539 in Cappadocia to a long‑established Roman family, grew up at the court of Justin II and soon became close to Tiberius, the future emperor. His military career began brilliantly: as magister militum he led difficult campaigns against the Persians, restoring discipline and achieving victories that earned him great prestige. Upon the death of Tiberius II, Maurice ascended the throne (582) and married the emperor’s daughter, Constantina. His reign was marked by constant military pressure on several fronts: in the east, against the Sasanian Persians, where he managed to restore Khosrow II to the throne in exchange for significant territorial gains; in the north, against Avars and Slavs, with harsh and often unpopular campaigns; in Italy, where he unsuccessfully tried to halt the Lombard advance despite unstable alliances with the Franks; and in Spain, where the Visigoths gradually reduced the Byzantine presence. On the administrative level, he introduced decisive reforms: the creation of the exarchates (Ravenna and Carthage), which combined civil and military authority, anticipating the future Byzantine structure of the 'themata'. In religious matters, he maintained a moderate stance, seeking to ease internal conflicts between Rome and Constantinople. In his final years, discontent grew: high taxes, his refusal to pay ransoms to enemies, and the order for troops to winter beyond the Danube sparked a military revolt. The centurion Phocas was proclaimed emperor and marched on Constantinople. Maurice fled, but was captured and executed along with his sons in 602. Condition: Uncirculated.Weight: 4.39 g.
