Why This Coin Matters

When most people think of the Fall of Rome, they think of AD 476.

That was the year the Western Roman Empire came to an end when the last western emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was deposed. Yet Rome itself did not disappear. In Constantinople, Emperor Zeno continued to rule the Eastern Roman Empire, preserving Roman government, law, and tradition for centuries to come.

Zeno's reign was anything but peaceful. Shortly after becoming emperor, he was driven from the throne by rivals and forced into exile. Through determination and political skill, he reclaimed his position and went on to rule for nearly two decades despite revolts, religious disputes, and constant challenges to his authority.

These coins circulated during one of the most important transitions in world history. They represent the moment when the ancient Roman world was giving way to the medieval era, while the Eastern Empire carried the Roman legacy forward.

For collectors, Zeno offers one of the most affordable and direct connections to the story of Rome's fall and the birth of the Byzantine Empire.

• First-time ancient coin collectors
