<p>[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 4323747, member: 84905"]A. Metlich is (or better was - as far as I know he has given up academic numismatics to pursue business activities) a well respected numismatic researcher. However, his book is not without problems. For example, his section on coins of Sirmium is completely wrong. His statement above, that no solidi of Zeno can be attributed to Theoderic, is perhaps not wrong, but it can be misleading. It implies that no solidi in the name of Zeno were minted under Theoderic, which is probably not the case. I think on the basis of style coins like this one below may have been minted under Theoderic, rather than Odovacer.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3109835" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3109835" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3109835</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
