| Lot description: Justinian I AV Solidus. Uncertain mint, Carthage or Italy, indiction year 3 = AD 539/40. D N IVSTINIANVS P P AVI, helmeted and cuirassed bust facing, holding globus cruciger and shield decorated with horseman motif / VICTORIA AVCCC Γ, angel standing facing, holding long cross and globus cruciger; star in right field, CONOB in exergue. Unpublished in the standard references, for general types cf. Morrison 1988, 71-86; cf. MIBE 25; cf. DOC 277; cf. Sear 250. 4.43g, 21mm, 6h. Near Mint State. Rare. From the Brightwalton Collection; Acquired from NBJ Gallery, Dubai, November 2019. The activity of the new mint at Carthage has been the object of a detailed corpus of the then known specimens (90) by C. Morrisson, 'Carthage: The Moneta Auri, 537-578', in Studies in Early Byzantine Gold Coinage, ANS NS 17, 1988, pp. 44-64. As can be expected from a new mint, the engraving style and technical features of this new coinage differed from those of the main mint at Constantinople, not the least of which was the use of indiction dates, a 15-year cycle used to date ancient and medieval documents and coins to facilitate something the Byzantines excelled in, the enforcement of agricultural or land taxes. Estimate: 750 GBP |  |
