<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 6394444, member: 56653&quot;]The minting of tournois in Achaea in 1249 theory is discarded by now, there are no such specs in any context prior to the 1270s and a starting point considered at present is around 1267, the Viterbo treaty. Even the overflow of French tournois to Greece seems to be towards the end of the 1250s and at its peak after the interdict of 1262, so very likely Sanudo was confused and made a mistake. The CORINTVm type is conventionally dated according to Metcalf&#039;s idea after 1255. </p><p><br /></p><p>What Sanders proposes with his article quoted is a multidisciplinary view on dating coinage that we are unsure of using other means outside the regular ones in use by numismatists: historical, scriptural and comparative, like for instance archaeological and stratigraphic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
