| Aanvullende informatie |
Basiliscus seized power in early 475 by exploiting the unpopularity of Zeno, forcing the legitimate emperor to flee Constantinople for Isauria. His reign lasted just twenty months before Zeno returned with an Isaurian army and Basiliscus surrendered, reportedly after being promised his life — a promise kept technically, if cruelly, by imprisoning him and his family in a dry cistern in Cappadocia where they starved to death.
The extreme brevity of the usurpation makes solidi of Basiliscus genuinely scarce in any grade. RIC X 1003 is the principal Constantinople issue of his reign.
