<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 6650307, member: 96635&quot;]Byzantine coins are fascinating with a great history of different rulers, issues, mint places, coin reformations etc. They cannot be compared with Greek/Roman coins at all in terms of artistry, but they are still quite cool:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1268695[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>You should see which time period interests you the most, in my case I especially like the coins after the post-reform of Alexius I. They are less artistic though compared to the time of Maurice, Justinian etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>As [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] mentioned, do not forget the bronze coins, they are abundant and interesting. Silver is rare, and gold was used more in the Byzantine times, the Miliaresion was the only common silver coin. Only post-Latin empire the usage of silver increased a lot more (Basilikon, Stavraton, Asper etc.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
