<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1700118, member: 26302&quot;]I can try to read up in Grierson about it, and maybe check DOC. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a question though. Do we really call these &quot;dark age&quot; coins? Every civilization has a &quot;dark age&quot;, for example for Parthia it was early 1st century BC. I thought &quot;dark ages&quot; were more of a western European thing, not really applicable to Byzantium and the rest of the world. For much of the world the 6-8th centuries were not dark ages at all. Because of that, I have never called anything other than western European coins &quot;dark age&quot; coins. I have Ostrogoth, Visigoth, and Meronvingian coins that is &quot;dark ages&quot;, but that is all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
