<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1853587, member: 42773&quot;]I&#039;m not sure he objects to the term Byzantine - I just acquired a copy of his Romaoin/Byzantine book but I haven&#039;t read it thoroughly yet. A coin like the OP&#039;s, minted by Justinian I in Constantinople is unequivocally Byzantine, but there is an argument to be made for a new term that categorizes coinage from the West after the loss of the Western Roman Empire, before the reconquest of Justinian I, and at other times like the rule of Maurice, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>We accept the term Byzantine to encompass a certain time period. The question is, do we need more specific terminology that accounts for geography?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
