<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 1631879, member: 44210"]For me I see the end of ancient coinage in 491 AD, the end of Zeno's reign and the start of Anastasius's reign as the beginning of medieval (Zeno starts his reign in the ancient era, making him the last Roman emperor to do so, but it continues into the early medieval period. Since there is no way to exactly date his coins and determine which are "ancient" and which are "medieval", for sake of convenience I consider any coinage "ancient" until the end of his reign in 491 AD. Anastasius suceeds him as emperor and since he is the first to start his reign after 476, I see any coinage after 491 until 1453/late 15th century as medieval). Also, Zeno is in RIC but Anastasius isn't; e is the first in the Byzantine coin series, so I think this sort of supports my view a little.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
