A choice example, of excellent style. Light adjustment marks on reverse; unaltered by piercing or plugging, very rare thus. Lovely even deep brown patina. About EF/About VF. Official solidus weights were introduced with Julian's law in AD 363, which mandated the appointment of a zygostates—an official responsible for weighing solidi in each city. This measure aimed to restore trust in the solidus, which had been frequently clipped. The term 'exagium' comes from the Latin word 'exigere,' meaning 'to drive out,' specifically referring to the removal of underweight solidi to ensure a consistent weight standard essential for the circulation of imperial gold coins at their full value. Many of these exagia often have holes or plugs added to achieve the correct weight, making unaltered exagia quite rare.

Lot # 578 - Majorian (457- 461). AV Tremissis, Ravenna mint. Obv. D N IVL MAIORIANVS P F AVC. Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right. Rev. Latin cross pattée within wreath; large central jewel above; COMOB. RIC X 2610; Depeyrot 23/2; Ranieri 141; Lacam 42. AV. 1.46 g. 14 mm. RR. Very rare and superb. EF. Sold but not paid in our Auction LX. Julius Valerius Majorian owned his name to his maternal grandfather, who had been magister militum in Illyricum in the 370s. He had himself served with distinction under Aetius, and in 455 he was considered a possible successor of Valentinian III. Presumably, when he and Ricimer deposed Avitus in October 456, it was intended that he should succeed him, but according to Sidonius Apollinaris, who knew him personally, he was reluctant to assume the burden, and an interregnum of six months followed during which he and Ricimer were in fact masters of the West but the Emperors were nominally Marcian and, after January 457, Leo. Even after he had been proclaimed emperor by the army outside Rome on 1st April 457, he continued to call himself no more than magister militum, and he was not proclaimed at Ravenna until 28 December 457. Just as Avitus had not been acceptable in Italy, so Majorian was not acceptable in Gaul. In 458 he led an army of German mercenaries into the Rhone valley, made himself master of Lyon, which had accepted a Burgundian garrison, and having defeated the Visigoths outside Arles, he compelled them to come to terms. But his Gallic successes in 458/9 were followed by misfortunes in Spain in 460/1. Two naval expeditions planned against Gaiseric met with disaster, and he was forced to return to Italy with no accomplishment to his credit. Such successes as he had had, however, aroused the suspicions of Ricimer: Majorian, who had deserved better things, was seized by treachery at Tortona on 2 August, deposed, and beheaded five days later. AE4 were struck under Majorian at Milan, Ravenna and Rome […] The coins of all three mints are larger and substantially heavier than any Western bronze coins had been since the reign of Honorius. Lacam (1988, 220) has suggested that these unusually high weights are to be explained by Ricimer's need for betterc coin to offer Gundobald's mercenaries when preparing for his campaign against the Vandals, but it is difficult to immagine any troops being satisfied with such miserable scraps of metal. (Grierson-Mays 'Catalogue of Late Roman Coin in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection and in the Whittemore Collection', Washington, 1992, pp. 250-252).

Nepos was a powerful and well-connected figure, virtually the hereditary ruler of Dalmatia, and married to a relative of Verina, empress of Leo I. No evidence exists to enable his personal qualities to be assessed. His seizure of the western throne appears to have had the blessing of Zeno, but he never received more than diplomatic support from the East. His recognition in Italy was divided into two periods by the usurpation of Romulus followed probably by several months during which Odovacar acknowledged only the eastern emperor. His acceptance as nominal emperor was evidently conditional on his remaining in Dalmatia, but is implicit in the 'vengeance' for his murder exacted by Odovacar in 481. Presumably Italy was to be governed in his name 'until he himself should come', the later arrangement between Theoderic and Zeno (Anonymus Valesianus, 49). (RIC X, p. 204).

Lot # 585 - Vandals in North Africa. Thrasamund (496-523). AE Nummus, Carthage mint. Obv. DN RG-TASA. Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right. Rev. Victory advancing left, holding wreath. MEC 1, 19-20. BMC Vandals 32-6. CNR XIX, 1994. Cfr. Lulliri-Urban 231. AE. 0.94 g. 10 mm. RR. An outstanding example, with complete and fully readable legends. Green-brown patina. Rare as such. Good VF. The Vandals invaded North Africa after they were driven out of Spain by the armies of the western empire in 429; they worked their way across North Africa from west to east over the following decade until they took and occupied Carthage in 439, when it became their capital. They were governed by a succession of kings : Geiseric (428-77); Huneric, Geiseric's eldest son (477-84); Gunthamund, Geiseric's grandson (484-96); Thrasamund, Geiseric's grandson (496-523); Hilderic, Geiseric's grandson (523-30); and Gelamir, Geiseric's great-grandson (530-33). In 533 their kingdom was invaded by the army of the western empire under Justinian's general Belisarius, and occupation of and rule over North Africa passed to the Byzantines. The Vandals at various times took and occupied Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, and they sacked Rome in 455. But their century-long dominance of North Africa was equally underpinned by more peaceful contacts : this shows itself not only in the treaties which maintained a sometimes fragile peace (with the west in 435, 442 and 472, and with the east in 476), but also in dynastic intermarriage : Huneric married Eudocia, daughter of Valentinian III around 456, and Thrasamund married Amalafrida, the sister of Theoderic.

AR. 0.74 g. 11.5 mm. RR. A superb example of this very rare and debated issue. Sharply struck on sound metal; attractive light tone over brilliant surfaces. 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 recognized 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.
