| Beschrijving voorzijde | Turreted and draped bust of Ravenna personified facing right, wearing a mural crown, with the encircling Latin legend FELIX R - AVENNA. The design evokes the classical personification tradition of city goddesses, rendered in a late antique style typical of Ostrogothic coinage. The bust is depicted in profile with visible drapery at the shoulder. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat uneven, as characteristic of hammered bronze issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Theoderic entered Ravenna in 493 after a siege that ended when he personally killed Odoacer at a banquet — an act that resolved a three-year standoff and established Ostrogothic rule over Italy. These small bronzes were struck under the nominal authority of the Eastern emperor, a legal fiction Theoderic maintained carefully throughout his reign to preserve administrative continuity with Rome. The Ravenna mint had been Odoacer's before it was his.
