#Theodoric

[lionofchaeronea]

Gold tremissis struck by Theodoric "the Great", Ostrogothic ruler of the Kingdom of Italy from 493 to 526 CE, on behalf of Anastasius I, ruler of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire from 491 to 518. Minted at Mediolanum (Milan), the coin emphasizes the solidity of Anastasius' rule, as well as his nominal sovereignty over Theodoric. On the obverse, the bust of Anastasius, wearing diadem and cuirass, is shown. On the reverse is the figure of Victory, holding a wreath in her right hand and a cross at her left, with a star beside her. Beneath her is the legend CONO(B); commonly found on Byzantine gold currency, it refers both to the city of Constantinople and to the weight of the coin.

In reality, Theodoric was the political and military equal of Anastasius, but the two men got along well and avoided collision between their spheres of influence. The situation would deteriorate after Anastasius' death: his successor Justin connived with the Roman Senate, hoping to reconquer Italy, and Theodoric executed some of his counselors, including the great writer and theologian Boethius, on charges of treason.

Being a girl is: wanting to go to bed early but deciding to just get on tumblr/wattpad/Ao3 for a little bit and then end up finding a fic series that you really like and read until well past your usual bedtime then keeping on because it’s already past your bedtime. Then being mad when you wake up in the morning because you overslept your timer.

finding out making up whole detailed scenarios with fictional characters in your head is a “sign of mental illness”
