Byzantine Coinage
BYZANTINE COINAGE Philip Grierson Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection Washington, D.C. © 1999 Dumbarton Oaks Trustees for Harvard University Washington, D.C. All rights reserved Printed in the United States of America Second Edition Cover illustrations: Solidus of Justinian II (enlarged 5:1) ISBN 0-88402-274-9 Preface his publication essentially consists of two parts. The first part is a second Tedition of Byzantine Coinage, originally published in 1982 as number 4 in the series Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Collection Publications. Although the format has been slightly changed, the content is fundamentally the same. The numbering of the illustrations,* however, is sometimes different, and the text has been revised and expanded, largely on the advice and with the help of Cécile Morrisson, who has succeeded me at Dumbarton Oaks as advisor for Byzantine numismatics. Additions complementing this section are tables of val- ues at different periods in the empire’s history, a list of Byzantine emperors, and a glossary. The second part of the publication reproduces, in an updated and slightly shorter form, a note contributed in 1993 to the International Numismatic Commission as one of a series of articles in the commission’s Compte-rendus sketching the histories of the great coin cabinets of the world. Its appearance in such a series explains why it is written in the third person and not in the first. It is a condensation of a much longer unpublished typescript, produced for the Coin Room at Dumbarton Oaks, describing the formation of the collection and its publication. * The coins illustrated are in the Dumbarton Oaks and Whittemore collections and are re- produced actual size unless otherwise indicated. -
Byzantine Gold Coins and Jewellery
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.

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. -
Propaganda and Denominations of the Byzantine Successor States and the Crusader States (1204-1261) an Essay on the Political History of the Empire in Exile
Propaganda and Denominations of the Byzantine Successor States and the Crusader States (1204-1261) An Essay on the Political History of the Empire in Exile Michiya NISHIMURA Introduction In 1204, the fourth crusaders finally captured Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Between 1204 and 1261, the empire was compelled to be in exile. Territory of the former empire was divided into the Crusader states and the Byzantine successor states. During this period, these states were allied and conflicted with each other in several ways.1 Concerning their monetary policy, most states were minting previous Byzantine denominations. These denominations were the gold nomisma hyperpyron, the electrum aspron trachy, the billon aspron trachy, the tetarteron and the half-tetarteron (both copper). These were introduced in the fiscal year of 1092/93 by the emperor Alexius I Comnenus (1081-1118). Prior to 1204, the monetary system with these denominations had been effectively well-balanced.2 Even in the present days, the monetary circulation of this period remains a complicated issue. As there are many written and archeological sources, contradictions between them make it difficult to explain this issue. From different researches, many scholars assume that various denominations (those of the Byzantine successor states, the Crusader states, the former 1 G.

Ancient Coin Reference Guide
Ancient Coin Reference Guide Part One Compiled by Ron Rutkowsky When I first began collecting ancient coins I started to put together a guide which would help me to identify them and to learn more about their history. Over the years this has developed into several notebooks filled with what I felt would be useful information. My plan now is to make all this information available to other collectors of ancient coinage. I cannot claim any credit for this information; it has all come from many sources including the internet. Throughout this reference I use the old era terms of BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domni, year of our Lord) rather than the more politically correct BCE (Before the Christian era) and CE (Christian era). Rome With most collections, there must be a starting point. Mine was with Roman coinage. The history of Rome is a subject that we all learned about in school. From Julius Caesar, Marc Anthony, to Constantine the Great and the fall of the empire in the late 5th century AD. Rome first came into being around the year 753 BC, when it was ruled under noble families that descended from the Etruscans. During those early days, it was ruled by kings. Later the Republic ruled by a Senate headed by a Consul whose term of office was one year replaced the kingdom. The Senate lasted until Julius Caesar took over as a dictator in 47 BC and was murdered on March 15, 44 BC. I will skip over the years until 27 BC when Octavian (Augustus) ended the Republic and the Roman Empire was formed making him the first emperor. -

3. Byzantine Coins
Nummus Factsheet, v1.01 3. Byzantine Coins www.romanorum.com.au Byzantine coinage is a direct continuation from the coins of the Late Roman Empire, particularly the Eastern Roman Empire. Historians generally consider the Eastern Roman Empire became the Byzantine Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476, although some historians mark the division at Constantine’s founding of Constantinople in AD 330 and others see the abolition of the consulship in Justinian’s Reign as the end of the Roman Empire and the start of the Byzantine. Numismatically, Byzantine coinage starts from the middle of the reign of Anastasius, the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Marks of Value when he introduced a new bronze coin, the follis, with a Early Byzantine bronze coins depict a large letter on the mark of the coin’s worth in AD 498. The Late Roman gold reverse that advertises their value in terms of nummi, a denominations, the solidus and smaller tremissis, late Roman bronze coin of small value. continued to be issued.

Only a few monuments can be ascribed to the first three decades of the thirteenth century, but neither their exact date, nor the identity of their founders are known1. Textual sources from this period, however, shed more light on the circumstances of artistic production. Thus one occasionally comes across references to the foundation or renovation of churches sponsored by members of the ruling Komnenos- Doukas family or by renowned Epirote clergymen and monks. This was, for instance, the case with the monastery of Varnakova2, Episkope Mastrou3, or I would like to thank Ivan Drpić, Michalis Kappas, Dejan Dželebdžić, Ilias Anagnostakis and Kosta Simić for their valuable comments and suggestions; Giorgos Fousteris for the drawings of the relevant inscribed scrolls from the Old Metropolis at Veroia; and Vujadin Ivanišević who was kind enough to share an image of a coin and allow me to include it in this article (Fig.
