Vitangelo w/ tag. A nice small denomination bronze from the late sixth century CE. Justin II was Justinian I's immediate successor and his reign was fraught with foreign policy issues. Trying to match the legacy of his uncle, Justinian I, Justin suspended tributes to the Empire's belligerent neighbors. This ultimately backfired and resulted in renewed war with the Persians and a Lombard invasion of Italy. At the end of his reign, Justin II would suffer a mental breakdown and power would de facto be transferred to his wife Sofia and his adopted son, the general Tiberius II.
