<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BenSi, post: 3987479, member: 95174&quot;]It is uncertain, the Latins ruled Constantinople from 1203 ( 1204) to 1261. After Alexius III escaped the city he took all the money he could , he basically sacked the treasury. The crusaders sold the throne to Isaac II ( He was blinded at the end of his last reign) and Alexius IV&nbsp; but they could not pay the agreed amount&nbsp; and were both killed in a rebellion. Alexius V takes over but the crusaders quickly again attacked the city ( 1204) and then divided the area between the Venetians and the Frankish crusaders.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not know of the specific Emperors for the 50+ year rule.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was called imitation because it was recreating a Byzantine denomination, however the imagery was original.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
