<p>[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 3932635, member: 84905"]This is not surprising, to call the Solidus in the name of Anastasius above a "barbarian Solidus" is a bit of a misnomer. The coin was minted by the very official and most excellent mint of Rome, which at the time employed the best engravers anywhere to be found. The fact that Rome together with the rest of large parts of the former western Roman Empire was at the time under the rule of the Goths, does not make this coin a "barbarian Solidus".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
