| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Victory stands facing left in military dress, holding a long jewelled cross-sceptre in her left hand and presenting a wreath with her right hand toward a small kneeling captive figure at her feet to the right. A star appears in the upper left field. The scene conveys imperial triumph over barbarian enemies. The legend VICTORI-A AVGGG (Victory of the three Augusti) encircles the composition, and the mint mark AR COMOB appears in the exergue, denoting the Arelatum mint and the purity of the gold (obryzum). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Avitus ruled for barely fourteen months, elevated to the purple in July 455 by the Visigothic king Theoderic II — making him the only fifth-century western emperor whose accession depended openly on barbarian military endorsement. The Arelate mint, by then one of the last functioning imperial mints in the West, struck this solidus during that narrow window before the Visigothic armies withdrew and Avitus found himself politically exposed. He was deposed by Ricimer and Majorian in October 456, compelled to become Bishop of Placentia, and was dead within months.
