<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herberto, post: 24729890, member: 74222&quot;]Hi</p><p><br /></p><p>I asked a similar question for some time ago, and the answer was that the largest group of coins that circulated in Levant in 500s were actually Constantinople-minted, and not local minted: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/byzantine-how-was-the-distribution-of-coins-in-each-area.401806/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/byzantine-how-was-the-distribution-of-coins-in-each-area.401806/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/byzantine-how-was-the-distribution-of-coins-in-each-area.401806/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;m wondering about one similiar thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look here (not my coin):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1582030[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The auctions regularly sell such small coins of Marcian (450-457). In 98% of cases, if the coin is readable, they are minted in Constantinople (“CON”). It is almost always &quot;CON&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I’m wondering: Were such Marcian-Constantinople coins also common amongst the people in Levant or Egypt as it was in Constantinople? Is it normal to find hoards of Marcian-Constantinople coins in Levant and Egypt?</p><p><br /></p><p>In case you know the answer, I would be thrilled to hear it! - I really want to know wheter Egyptians and Syrians knew such coins or not in 400s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
