Uncertain ruler, late 5th-6th century. (Bronze, 13x13x2 mm, 1.32 g), A uniface, square commercial or coin weight, its top ornamented with engraved designs, and with slightly curved edges. Facing busts of two crowned and draped imperial figures, their faces and one hand inlaid with silver, and their robes partially inlaid with red copper. Rev. Plain with some file marks as made. Bendall 106. Cf. Roma eSale 47, 2018, 905. Triton XXI, 2018, 874, 2. Rare. Well-preserved and attractive. About extremely fine.



When made, the contrasts between the white of the silver, the red copper and the golden bronze would have made this quite a strikingly attractive weight.
