<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnnyC, post: 7938379, member: 101968&quot;]Here are some interesting coins from the excavations at Anaia in Western Anatolia:&nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1373612[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1373613[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The authors originally described these coins as stamena of John V &amp; John VI (Sear 2535), which is of course unlikely to say the least. More likely they are examples of provincial issues from Anatolia in the late 12th – early 13th centuries, when Constantinople had essentially lost contact with the Greek Asian cities during the course of the Turkish invasion (see Bendall PCPC p.76).</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact these coins meet the description of PCPC 379 (and PCPC 147), although it’s hard to tell whether they match the PCPC coins given the poor state of the latter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ross G.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
