<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3586902, member: 85693&quot;]I started in on Byzantines in 2013 and I thought it would be real difficult - to be sure there are challenges, but there is a lot of information out there, and once you get a little familiar you can figure most things out.&nbsp; Another great thing:&nbsp; many of them are very inexpensive. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for books, I love Philip D. Whitting&#039;s <i>Byzantine Coins</i> - it is from the 1970s, but it gives a great overview of types, with some history.&nbsp; My local library has it, so I don&#039;t own a copy - I see there are lots of copies for sale on eBay and elsewhere (though not cheap). </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a not so special Justinian I follis - but even the cruddy ones have their charm:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]957922[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
