<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herberto, post: 2225571, member: 74222&quot;]When I look what the dealers sell of byzantine coins from the period of Anastasius until Heraclius, the overwhelming majority of these coins are minted in Constantinople. Then a significant minority is minted in Theupolis. Then some fewer are minted in Kyzikos and Nicomedia. </p><p><br /></p><p>Constantinople, Kyzikos and Nicomedia are located in what today is the north west Turkey, while Theoupolis is south close to Syria.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is: were these coins minted in these four aforementioned cities also in circulation in places like Egypt, Crimea or Ravenna/Roma?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore: We have a mint in Alexandria that was operational in years 525-645. That mint in Egypt produced some strange coins with denominations of 33, 12, 6 and 3 nummis. - Were these denominations also in circulation outside Egypt?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
