<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3183858, member: 19463"]I know nothing about Byzantine hoards. Are there finds that consist of large quantities of base metal coins as there are Romans? The reduced role of silver make it hard to imagine how the average person saved whatever money he might accumulate. In what form did a Byzantine soldier receive his pay? He may have earned a solidus but what was that in coins you could spend downtown? What did a merchant downtown do with all those folles before they went back to the mint to be restruck?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
