<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 4266977, member: 15481&quot;]When I started collecting ancient coins, «nobody» collected Byzantine coins, and least of all bronzes. It seems like that has changed, and that there is also an increased interest for the Byzantine empire in general. </p><p><br /></p><p>In 2008, I went to Italy by myself to spend 3 weeks in museums and galleries. I chose to go to Rome, Firenze and Ravenna, because I wanted classical and renaissance art, and I wanted to see the mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna. It was a wonderful trip, but surprisingly I enjoyed Ravenna the most. I came there after having been overwhelmed by the two other monumental cities, and found that I could walk around in a peaceful city centre free of cars, and look at the early Byzantine style of art in development. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1086884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1086885[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
