Gold coins of Tiberius II Constantine Byzantine Emperor
September 26 578 through August
14 582
A fairly unremarkable ruler, who used money buy
influence and peace. Fortunately for the empire he died before he
had created total financial ruin. By far his greatest achievement
was selecting Maurice Tiberius to succeed him.
