[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 3513249, member: 74222"]I don't know if it is the proper place to ask. I was forced to pay for shipping for some coins I won, so I decided to bid on some supposedly byzantine artifacts since they were cheap for me. Anyone here who can help me to tell me more about them, and how I can attribute them, and more important: are they really Byzantine stuff? (and not Russian or Bulgarian?) Here they are, and I have copy-paste the descriptions beneath in the images: [ATTACH=full]931906[/ATTACH] Comment: I can recognize the "IB" in my Alexandrian 12-nummi coins. Are there a connection between the Alexandrian 12-nummi-coins and this? [ATTACH=full]931907[/ATTACH] Comment: Obviously it is Mary and Jesus on obverse, and I can see a monogram on reverse. [ATTACH=full]931908[/ATTACH] Comment: A man with beard and halo, and a monogram [ATTACH=full]931909[/ATTACH] Comment: A man with beard, and monogram [ATTACH=full]931910[/ATTACH] Comment: A figure of a man standing with spear and shield. I want to know: Is it correct that the weight must be from 500-700, and the first 3 seals from 500-800, and the last seal around AD 1100? Can I be 100% sure that all the above are Byzantine artifacts? Could they be Russian or Bulgarian since they were exposed for Byzantine-inspired Christianity? Thank you for any help you can provide.[/QUOTE]
