| Reverse description | Standing figure of the emperor rendered in the late Roman Victory type, depicted facing right, holding a long standard (labarum) in his right hand and a globe surmounted by a Victory in his left, with his foot trampling upon a crouching captive below. The composition imitates the standard Honorian solidus reverse type but is executed with the characteristic degeneration of Suebian imitative coinage, with simplified figural forms and a garbled surrounding legend. The exergue retains a debased rendering of the COMOB mint mark, referencing the Constantinopolitan gold standard. The reverse field and figures show the progressive stylistic degradation typical of post-Roman barbarian imitations struck in the Iberian Peninsula during the fifth century. |
