A Tremissis (1\3 of a Solidus) with the likeness of the Emperor Justin (from Wikipedia)
We restart the narrative with the death of the Emperor Anastasius and the accession of Justin, Count of the Excubitors. The new Emperor is decidedly orthodox and begins a persecution of the monophysites and heals the schism with Rome. We also introduce our sources for the period with particular attention paid to Procopius of Caesarea.
Period: 518-520
