<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2225573, member: 19463&quot;]Many of these mints will make more sense if you compare the dates of issue to what was going on in the Byzantine world.&nbsp; The areas actually under Byzantine control changed from time to time just like late Roman coins are often common from mints near where the Emperor was residing and in control rather than Rome which was not always all that securely part of the realm.&nbsp; I suspect that the &#039;strange&#039; denominations stayed pretty close to their place of issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
