This period of Greek history is known as the Frankokratia or Latinokratia "Frankish or Latin rule" and designates a period when western European Catholics ruled Orthodox Byzantine Greeks.

    Byzantine Gold Coins andJewellery A STUDY OF GOLD CONTENTS * Andrew Oddy * and Susan La Niece * Department of Conservation and Technical Service, and Research Laboratory *, British Museum, London, United Kingdom When the capital oftheRoman Empire was transferredfrom Rome to Constantinople in 330 A.D., a new `Rome' was created in the Eastern half oftheEmpire which was initially to rival, and very soon eclipse, the original one. This city became the capital of onehalfof a divided Empire, and as most of the Western half was gradually overrun and fell to `barbariuns'from outside the Empire during the next 150 years, Constantinople became the centre forthesurtrival of `classical' culture. The Byzantine Empire slowly changed, of course, being affected by the emergence ofMedievalEurope to the Westand oflslam to the East andSouth, but despitethepressuresfromthesetwopotentaenemies, the essential culture ofearly Byzantium adhered to Roman traditions, particularly in art, architecture, and all other applied arts, such as coinage.

    perspektywy kultury / Varia perspectives on culture No. 33 (2/2021) Nicholas Coureas http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8903-8459 Cyprus Research Centre in Nicosia [email protected] DOI: 10.35765/pk.2021.3302.12 Settlement on Lusignan Cyprus after the Latin Conquest: The Accounts of Cypriot and other Chronicles and the Wider Context ABSTRACT The accounts of various chronicles of the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries on settlement in Cyprus in the years following the Latin conquest, from the end of the twelfth to the early thirteenth century, will be examined and com- pared. The details provided by the chronicles, where the information given derived from, the biases present in the various accounts, the extent to which they are accurate, especially in cases where they are corroborated or refuted by documentary evidence, will all be discussed. The chronicles that will be referred to are the thirteenth century continuation of William of Tyre, that provides the fullest account of the settlement of Latin Christians and others on Cyprus after the Latin conquest, the fifteenth century chronicle of Leon- tios Makhairas, the anonymous chronicle of “Amadi” that is probably date- able to the early sixteenth century although for the section on thirteenth cen- tury Cypriot history it draws on earlier sources and the later sixteenth century chronicle of Florio Bustron. Furthermore, the Chorograffia and Description of Stephen de Lusignan, two chronicles postdating the conquest of Cyprus by the Ottoman Turks in 1570, will also be referred to on the subject of settle- ment in thirteenth century Cyprus. By way of comparison, the final part of the paper examines the extent to which the evidence of settlement in other Medi- terranean lands derives chiefly from chronicles or from documentary sources.

ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the socio-economic and socio-cultural dynamics of medieval Famagusta from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. Contrary to the traditional historiography suggesting that Famagusta enjoyed commercial privilege after the fall of Acre in 1291 and lost its importance with the Genoese occupation of the city in 1374, this work offers more detailed analysis of economic and social dynamics of the late medieval Famagusta by examining wide-range of archival evidence and argues that Famagusta maintained its commercial importance until the late fifteenth century. In late medieval ages, Famagusta enjoyed economic prosperity due to its crucial role in Levant trade as a supplier and distributor of agricultural and luxury merchandise.

  • The Monetary History of the East Mediterranean in the Middle Ages As Judged from Imitated Coins
    The Monetary History of the East Mediterranean in the Middle Ages as Judged from Imitated Coins Hiroshi KATO and Michiya NISHIMURA Introduction The Arab–Islamic powers emerged in the 7th century. After that, the East Mediterranean was divided into three civilizational–political circles, Greek–Orthodoxy (Byzantine Empire), Latin–Catholic (Frankish Empire and its successors), and Arab–Islam (Islamic dynasties). These three circles developed their own distinctive monetary systems, but they were both opposed to and interconnected with each other. This paper aims to explain some features of these opposing but interconnected monetary systems in the East Mediterranean during the Middle Ages, which we define as the period between the emergence of the Arab–Islamic powers in the 7th century and the rise of Italian city-states in the 15th century. 1. Conceptual framework The conceptual framework of our research is shown by the triangle comprising the state, and international and local markets in Figure 1. Monetary affairs are complicated phenomena in which economic activities in apparently separate international and local markets are in reality closely linked with each other. However, monetary affairs in the international and local markets could be distinguished and be dealt with separately, at least in theory. The key concept of our research is the imitated coin. In history, coinages have been imitated in two respects: imitation of design and manipulation of intrinsic value (fineness and/ or weight). Based on the dichotomic theory of monetary origin, the state vs. the market, the imitated coins reflect the delicate relationship between the supplier of coin, the state or local community, and its user, the market.

  • A Short History of International Currencies by Christopher Weber
    A Short History of International Currencies By Christopher Weber Money From Long Ago: How it Can Lose Its Value and How it Can Soar Here I am back in Monaco and it’s dreary and freezing outside. It was just a few days ago, but the sun of Palm Beach and Costa Rica----[Thanks Adens, for your wonderful hospitality]---seems like so long ago. It makes you realize that the sun is always shining somewhere. And this is not just meant literally either. I've noticed that investment-wise "the sun is always shining somewhere" as well. There is always a bull market in something, even if it just means staying in cash. If everything else is falling, it means your cash is worth more today than it was worth yesterday. Broadening out this concept further, since I was in high school I have been fascinated by the rises and falls of civilizations, especially as symbolized by money. It not only interests me to see great powers ---and their monies--- rise and fall. I am also interested in learning how other places stepped into the vacuum as the great civilizations decay. It used to be thought, in the West at least, that with the fall of the Roman Empire the world was plunged into the Dark Ages. But we now know that other parts of the world saw golden eras at this same time. This was again forcefully brought home to me as I stood amidst the Mayan city of Copan, now close to the Honduran/Guatemalan border. This intriguing civilization had a mixture of advanced science and seemingly barbaric practices----the calendars they came up with are extremely accurate, but after ball games either the winners or the losers had their heads chopped off (we don't know which--it could have been the winners as it was regarded an honor to sacrifice yourself to the gods).

  • Negotiating Trade: Merchant Manuals and Cross-Cultural Exchange in the Medieval Mediterranean
    Negotiating Trade: Merchant Manuals and Cross-Cultural Exchange in the Medieval Mediterranean Joseph F. Stanley Simmons College Abstract: This essay explores Italian mercantile perceptions of the non-western Mediterranean world during the late Middle Ages. In particular, it analyzes the corpus of merchant manuals known as pratiche della mercatura and argues that the intercultural and cross-confessional material included in these handbooks were vital components that helped facilitate trade across ethno-religious frontiers in the Arab-Turkic regions. This paper opens with an examination of the “traditional” manual genre, with particular emphasis on Francesco Pegolotti’s Libro di divisamenti di paesi (c. 1310-40). Pegolotti and other pratiche compilers proffered practical counsel on linguistic exchange, local folklore and customs, and resourceful intermediaries (dragomans) that could accommodate cultural assimilation for the trader abroad. The remainder of the essay builds on the fruitful historiographical shifts of recent years and identifies two additional manuals: Leonardo Frescobaldi’s Viaggio in Egitto (c. 1390) and Goro Dati’s Sfera (c. 1435). These texts, cascaded to a wide merchant audience, include striking language on the common theological underpinnings of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. These two authors, and specifically Dati, also highlight the complex character of the Italian merchant and reveal that economic self-interest helped construct common ground across major barriers of faith in the medieval Mediterranean.

  • Coins of the CRUSADERS
    Coins of the CRUSADERS The Crusades were a series of military conflicts of a religious character waged by much of Christian Europe against external and internal threats. Crusades were fought against Muslims, pagan Slavs, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites, and political enemies of the popes.[1] Crusaders took vows and were granted an indulgence for past sins. The Crusades originally had the goal of recapturing Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule and were original- ly launched in response to a call from the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire for help against the expansion of the Muslim Seljuk Turks into Anatolia. The term is also used to describe contemporaneous and subsequent campaigns conducted through to the 16th century in territories outside the Levant usually against pagans, heretics, and peoples under the ban of excommunication for a mixture of religious, economic, and political reasons. Rivalries among both Christian and Muslim powers led also to alliances between religious factions against their opponents, such as the Christian alliance with the Sultanate of Rum during the Fifth Crusade. The Crusades had far-reaching political, economic, and social impacts, some of which have lasted into contemporary times. Because of internal conflicts among Christian kingdoms and political powers, some of the crusade expeditions were diverted from their original aim, such as the Fourth Crusade, which resulted in the sack of Christian Constantinople and the partition of the Byzantine Empire between Venice and the Crusaders. The Sixth Crusade was the first crusade to set sail without the official blessing of the Pope, establishing the precedent that rulers other than the Pope could initiate a crusade.
