<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4293647, member: 72790"]Thanks. That was a great write up. Back in the 1980's I visited Greece and Turkey and spent much of my time searching for surviving traces of Byzantium. I had no idea this bit of it was still extant. I presume that the language is some dialect of Greek (Demotic?) or do they employ the older Koine of the Bible? Do they identify themselves as Greeks (Hellenes) or Romaioi when asked about nationality? And lastly, and most importantly, do they have any coin shops there?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
