Abstract The messages in the imagery on Byzantine coins, although often neglected by scholars, were a key means of projecting imperial power. Emperors could project power via dress, ceremonial, and displays, but these methods would not have reached all subjects. Byzantine coins had the advantage of reaching all subjects, as the Byzantine economy was fundamentally monetized. Military symbols (figures, dress, and weapons), whose study has been rather overlooked, formed an important part of this imagery. Whilst military symbols disappeared from Byzantine coins in the early eighth century, and were absent for some three centuries, they were reintroduced in the mid-eleventh century and appeared until 1394/5.

Michael Psellos, Chronographie, ed. Renauld, 1:132 The two pillars of Byzantine rule (dignities and riches) celebrated by Michael Psellos at the beginning of his lengthy exposition concerning Constantine Monomachos and his prodigal ways, which he considered with hindsight to have started the crisis that came at the end of the eleventh century, are only the two sides of one and the same source of power: wealth. This wealth was distributed to those who held dignities and offices and was stored in the imperial treasury mainly in monetary form, although some types of silk and other luxury items, the product of imperial monopolies or work- shops, served to complement and sometimes substitute for imperial payments. In other words, they were quasi-money.1 In any case, coinage may be considered the basic form of money in Byzantium, given therelatively limited role played by credit.
