The rare gold coins of Byzantine Emperor Justin II are

During the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justin II (565-578 AD), rare gold coins were found in the ancient fortress of Tuida in Sliven, southern Bulgaria. This is a lightweight solid phase cast in Theopolis (Antioch in Syria, Antakya in modern times, Turkey in southern Turkey), and a more common example of this design is the full-weight solid produced in Constantinople.

Wearing the emperor’s helmet bust on the right hand, victory on the globe, and leaning against his left shoulder with the knight’s equipment. It is engraved with dn ivstinvs pp avg (represented “our Justin, Augustus’ father, Justin”. The opposite feature is that Constantine Pohl’s anthropomorphism originates from the right appearance, holding a long scepter in the right hand, while the left hand of the cross (also known as ox horns, ox horns and crosses). It is engraved with Victoria Avgggθs (meaning “the victory of the three emperors, Theoupolis).

The Sliven region has been settled for 8,000 years, and it has reached the Neolithic Age. Archaeological remains of the Thracian settlement were found in Hisarlaka Hill in the 1980s. The settlement was conquered by Philip of Macedonia and his son Alexander the Great, and then conquered the Roman Republic around 72 BC, and was absorbed by the province of Tras in the Roman Empire and was known in ancient times as Tuida/Suida. In the 4th century, a fortress was built on Hisarlaka Hill, becoming part of the Roman defensive Stara Planina Fortification system.

The fortress was destroyed by the Huns in the 5th century, but was rebuilt by Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I Dicorus (491-518 AD) and improved fortifications. Emperor Justin I (527-565 AD) also expanded the fortress and the surrounding settlements. Tina, Slavs and the Primitive Partners destroyed Tuida again in 598 or 599. The fortress was rebuilt by the Bulgarian Empire in the 9th century and new buildings were erected in the fortress complex. It was used until the beginning of the 13th century when Bulgaria was once again conquered by the Byzantines.

Sliven Reginial Mousital has been digging the site every year since 2004, and so far, only four gold coins have been found. Gold coins are too valuable to buy things. They are symbols of status and investments, so four of them were found in the fortress’s justification that the rich lived there.

The excavation of this season has totaled 23 coins, from the 2nd to the 13th century. Most of them are bronze. Copper coins are the main revolving currency for exchanging goods and services. The large number of bronze coins found in the fort are evidence of the light trade there.

Justinian I first thought the gold coin found earlier this month was considered to be minted, but after cleaning it was identified as Justin II’s light solid. Justinnian is Justin’s uncle (Justin’s wife Sofia is the niece of Justinnian’s wife Theodora.)

Justin II was personally selected by his uncle Justinian I and took over his throne. He could not live up to his great success in reclaiming the imperial territory in the west and east, and soon lost to the Lombards in Italy, Spain, Sinigos, Mesopotamia, Syria and Armenia to the Persian Empire. However, he did repay the huge debts that had accumulated by his uncle’s war, but before his mental health debilitated, it seemed that he had left a lot of cash in the vault, and his Caesar Tiberius began to rule him in 574 AD
