Proclaimed caliph at Samarra in 865, al-Mu‘tazz secured sole rule after al-Musta‘in’s abdication in 866.

Deposed in 869, he died shortly afterwards, another victim of the “Anarchy at Samarra.” DISCOVER OUR CURRENT SELECTION Visit and follow our seller profile to explore all items offered by Logos Numismatics & Antiquities across current auctions and stay informed of new listings.
