<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Codera, post: 24874914, member: 70631&quot;]While a decent number of coin designs from the post-476 Eastern Romans can appear very crude (during the last 200 years under the Palaiologos dynasty when there sadly wasn&#039;t much of an empire anymore for example, those coins are rough to look at), I find there&#039;s a lot of coins up till then with an alluring, almost hypnotic quality to them that I find irresistible. I&#039;m just captivated by the geometric and otherworldly abstraction of Medieval art in general, like it&#039;s a portal to another realm. It may not be <i>realistic </i>or <i>naturalistic</i> in the manner of Classical Rome or anything but the stylized depictions can still be very elegant and beautiful in my opinion. Here&#039;s some Byzantine coins I own and I would really like to collect even more in the future:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1596615[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
