<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 2489159, member: 75936&quot;]What I find interesting about the Byzantine series is the degradation of the style. The fine style of the Greek and early Roman period has been completely forgotten - and never to return until the European coins of the late middle ages. Much of the Byzantine coinage has this &quot;cartoony&quot; look. Is this an indication that the Byzantine Empire was less advanced during the dark ages than the original Roman Empire? Were they less advanced technologically as well as artistically?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
