<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 2608697, member: 72790"]Venice was a Byzantine outpost until well into the Middle Ages. it is not surprising that the Byzantine coinage would be imitated by the Venetians and one can readily see the similarity of Byzantine gold and silver of the Crusading era to those of Venice. The coins are so similar that on two different occasions coin dealers tried to sell me these Grossos as Byzantine coins and one of them was not too happy when I pointed out the subtle differences as the difference in value is considerable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
