ATTILAS COIN
I was searching for this coin exactly two years:
It is a rare barbaric issue of a gold solidus of Theodosius II. But what is the difference to the original? Just under the microscope someone can see it!
On the obverse is written a nonsense compared to the original solidi of Theodosius. Here: D H THEOOOS(retrograde) I - VS P F ^ VG. (Theodosius Pius Felix).
Reverse: IMP XXXXII COS(retrograde) XVII PP. Constantinopolis enthroned to the left,holding a globus cruciger and sceptre,shield at her side,foot on prow,star in left field but no points in legend,down: COHOB.
Material:Gold Measure: 20 mm(those coins are heavier and 1-2 mm larger). Weight: 4.49 grams Mint: Attilas Ordu Date: ca 442 A.D. Culture: Hunnish
Gold Polyeder Earring
A typical earring from the Migration period is this mint pair of gold earrings,this type is called Polyeder earring and was worn by Huns and Ostrogoths. There is a glase paste on four sides of each with whitish sinter inside. This pair is decorated with a massive polygonal head,at the terminals with gold roundels.
Rank Insignia
A kind of rank insignia are this appliques with human faces. They originate from the steppe Nomads,from Iran and came to Europe till Scandinavia. The Viking face appliques are more oval,while all the Steppe Nomads`have the following caracteristics: Missing heels Beard or beard and moustache Face view from the front In the hunnish culture it was rare to find faces,so those face appliques must have had a deeper meaning,maybe they served for the Logades as a rank insignia. They were attached on leather straps and hanged around the horses or their dress.
Although a restored piece,I keep it as it shows the way the Huns took in Europe. This silver buckle was found near the german border in the Nederlands. It came with a hunnish noble soldier when the Huns supported the roman General Aetius in the Migration period troubles.I bought this piece as Viking buckle . The backside is glued a bit but still sintered.Three original rivets for holding the leather strap still in the buckle plate.
