Byzantine Empire, Anastasius I, 11 April 491 - 1 July 518 A.D.
|Anastasius| |I|, |Byzantine| |Empire,| |Anastasius| |I,| |11| |April| |491| |-| |1| |July| |518| |A.D.|, Only officina E issued this variant.

Anastasius I came to the throne at the age of 61 after being chosen by the wife of his predecessor, Zeno. His religious tendencies caused tensions throughout his reign. Because his name is distinctly and unmistakably Christian (Anastasius means 'resurrection' in Greek), it indicates that he was born and raised a Christian, in contrast to previous Christian Emperors, most notably Constantine I, who were converts.
