Abstract

This article presents formerly unknown folles of emperor Justin II. with the letters COS preceeding the title Augustus,which were issued in his regnal years 5 (569/70) and 6 (570/71) at the Kyzikene mint. Already known coins of the same type minted in regnal year 3 can be associated with the well-documented, but mostly neglected second consulship of the emperor in 567 AD. Thus the new numismatic evidence apparently points to an unknown third consulship of Justin II. in 570 AD. This consideration is placedwithin the broader context of the history of the consulship and of relevant coin issues in the 6th century.
