1/4 Siliqua In the name of Anastasius I, Sirmium

The Gepids occupied Sirmium — the strategically vital Pannonian city on the Sava River — following the collapse of Attila's empire in 454, and maintained the fiction of imperial legitimacy by striking coinage in the name of the reigning eastern emperor. Issuing silver fractions under Anastasius I's name was a political calculation, not a tribute: it kept local commerce credible and Roman merchants cooperative without surrendering any actual authority to Constantinople.

The MEC I unlisted status places this among the less-documented Gepid fractional issues, likely a product of Sirmium's mint during the contested years before Theoderic seized the city from the Gepids in 504.
