Lot # 660 - Ostrogothic Italy, Amalasuntha (534-535). AR Quarter Siliqua in the name of Justinian I, Ravenna mint. Obv. [DN IVSTINI] ANVS AVG. Pearl-diademed and mantled bust right. Rev. Monogram of Theoderic (no cross above) within wreath. Ranieri 304 (Witigis); MEC 1, 138; MIB 59 (Witigis); COI 64 (Witigis); Kraus 3 (Hildebrand). AR. 0.66 g. 11.50 mm. RR. A pleasant example of this very rare and discussed issue. Slightly porous, otherwise. VF/Good VF. This restitution series with the monogram of Theoderic has already been discussed by scholars. According to Grierson, it was struck during the early period of Theodahad's reign when Amalasuntha was formally the new sovereign. On these quarter siliquae, one finds the name of Justinian on the obverse and the monogram of Amalasunta's father on the reverse. For Grierson, only in this way could the Ostrogoths accept her reign. Hahn and Metlich have different opinions and they prefer to ascribe this series to Witigis. (NAC 93, 1206 note).

Below, [RAV]. Ranieri 847-9; MEC 1, 324. AE. 1.13 g. 15.50 mm. RRR. Extremely rare. Good condition for issue. Probably overstruck on an earlier type. VF. Aistulfus, king of the Langobards, conquered Ravenna in the spring or summer of 751. He brought a revolutionary innovation in numismatics, issuing coins minted in Ravenna that, unique in their kind in the Longobard series in northern Italy, completely borrow the bizantine model and no longer only as an archetype of inspiration. In Ravenna, Aistulfus minted coins in three denominals; solidus, tremissis and follis, in a period of time presumably from 751 to 755. Very few specimens have come down to us of these coins, altogether less than twenty, of all types and metals. Cfr. Gennari-Rossini 2018.
