Bronze follis of Theodohad, Ostrogothic king. Minted in Rome, 534-36. Following the fall of Rome in the late 5th century, a number of Germanic kingdoms established themselves within the former Western Roman Empire. Minting gold coins was a preorgative of the Byzantine Emperors, but silver and copper coins were minted by local rulers. Teodohad's bronze coin shows him wearing a "spangenhelm", a helmet-like crown worn by the Germanic kings. CM, 1847-11-8-378
