<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oldfinecollector, post: 4222141, member: 110740&quot;]Sorry I am not agree with you. I have studied Byzantines art at university and got an extensive experience traveling and visiting many of important Byzantines spots from Ravenna, Greece.... the coins are part of the beautiful of Byzantines art but you must be prepared to appreciate it like Celtic art or even African art. </p><p><br /></p><p>In Italy Byzantines art is stil important as is Hellenic or Roman art for fashion, Jewellery...</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the follis ans coins where in bronze or cupped so in collection they are for most of them too wear to appréciate them. The Byzantines coinage was for a century and with crisis too.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;In US you got some of the most important collections of Byzantines coins like Havard but it was neglected for a long time before Philip Grierson UK scholar was appointed. When you study more. Byzantines art you love it and their coins like celtics ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand that many people still think it is a dark age a bit like Game of the throne but it wasn’t at all. I as like you before studying celts Art history thinking they were barbarous...</p><p><br /></p><p>I am selfish so I don’t want too many collectors that fall in love as I can still buy gold solidus or extremely rare coins at affordable prices for my budget.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for my wording as my mother-tongue is not english even if I got a BA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
