<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3623608, member: 75525&quot;]I received the news this week that Simon Bendall passed this month. I did not know him, but have one of his books, Byzantine Weights An Introduction, on the center shelf of my book case.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]971558[/ATTACH] </p><p>I use the table on page 8 often.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]971569[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This table places weights in different time periods:</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman - </p><p>[ATTACH=full]971570[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>late Roman / early Byzantine - </p><p>[ATTACH=full]971571[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Byzantine - </p><p>[ATTACH=full]971572[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The following note is from Shanna Schmidt&#039;s newsletter:</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Remembering Simon Bendall (1937-2019)</b></p><p>I learned a few weeks ago of the passing of my old friend Simon Bendall. Simon was a scholar of Byzantine numismatics, as well as author of numerous articles and books. He was a contributing author to the numismatic staple, Byzantine Coins and Their Values by David Sear. Aside from being brilliant in his area of expertise, he also was a kind man and a lot of fun to know. I met Simon when I was a young girl as he helped to do attribution work for my father’s firm off and on. When I was in my early 20’s I had the fortune of working for a short time with Simon in London. In the last years his health was not wonderful so when I learned of his death it came as no big surprise. That said, I lament at the loss the numismatic world will experience with his passing. There is a nice article about him in this week’s Coinsweekly.
