Relations between North Africa and Italy, A.D. 476-500 : some numismatic evidence

Abstract

Summary. — This paper is an attempt to consider the numismatic evidence of the barbarian and Byzantine folks of the late 5th century in the historical context of the relations between the Vandals, Odovacar and the Ostrogoths. It proposes that the first group of folks (Odovacar in the name of Zeno, Wolf-and-Twins, Lady Carthage) was issued contemporaneously in 477 following the treaty of 476 between Geiseric and Odovacar. The second group (Eagle and Standing Warrior) on the same weight-standard would have been issued before 496 as a kind of 'international experiment'.
