[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 4518133, member: 51347"]I enjoyed Kenneth Harl's book. Helped me get an overall understanding, and a foundation as to how the money changed. Roughly, 500+ years of a reasonably stable Denarius, then when it went kaput, the Empire faltered. I felt it was for approx 200 CE onward that government policy got worse and worse... an accumulation of too much personal gain over many years... [ATTACH=full]1119307[/ATTACH] And, I got this guy, cuz of the scarcity of Silver during the latter period of the Empire. Funny how all the gold was available in the latter part of the Empire, but it seemed to all go to pay tribute to everyone else. Perhaps that is why gold was so plentiful... [ATTACH=full]1119308[/ATTACH] BZ Romanoi Andronicus II - Michael IX CE 1295-1320 AR Basilikon 22mm 2.1g Constantinople Christ enthroned - Andronicus l Michael r labarum DOC V 1 Class VIII[/QUOTE]
