Theodahad VICTORIA PINCIPVM from Rome
(1/1)
Victor:
If you like Ostrogothic coinage, here is a beauty that just sold for EUR 3010. It has a very clear depiction of a cross on the armor. A very desirable coin if you collect the series, the "holy grail" of the series.
Ostrogoths.
Theodahad.

marandnumiz:
Why do I see PRINCIPVM on the reverse?
Victor:
Yes, it is PRINCIPVM. I copy and pasted the sellers description and did not notice the spelling.

This is my coin. I bought it for EUR 1160,- in 2019.
