bmv_347056 - INCERTAINES Triens dégénéré, à la victoire à droite

UNSPECIFIED

(6th century)

During this period, still poorly defined, many triens imitating the Byzantine coins of Justinian were minted. The strikes are first quite close to the prototypes, then escalate. They are imitated in the Frankish kingdoms of Burgundy. The imperial titulature there is very quickly altered. The qualifier "lost loop" which characterizes the ribbon of the tiara has become common to designate these coins.
