Ancient Coins: Byzantine Gold Coins
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- The Byzantines carried on the legacy of Rome for over a thousand years after the fall of the West. During this millennia of history, they developed a wonderful numismatic tradition filled with gold is all shapes and sizes.
Today, we will explore the gold coinage of the Byzantines, from the predecessors on the "old" Roman Empire, to the coinage of the 13th century.

I just started to collect byzantine golden coins. The very first coin i bought was a golden solidus of Constantine IV in good VF condition
Great video man, you’re converting me over to ancient coins with every video 😃
One of us! One of us! One of us!
More Byzantine gold coins please
Let the Byzantine gold coin collecting begin !!! Waiting for my first order from Apmex this week (solidus Constans II) ! Can’t wait to go to live shows though... so glad to have found this channel 🙏
My Favorite Byzantine coins in my collection are all the Justinian the Great coins i have.. just love the massive Follis that were minted in his reign.
476 AD: Western Roman Empire is no more
2021: 👀
As we now know it never truely fell just the countrymen won the civil wars. Not supriseing in todays comparison.
I have like 6 coins all free. All from a little castle area they built in a small country. Went metal detecting and found so many of those coins
Very cool and informative video ! Thanks !
4:45 As the court of the Western Emperor moved to Milan, I'd have to imagine that institutions like the mint went with it. We can blame Diocletian for Rome loosing its status as capital, though in his defence he would say that Rome had come to mean much more than any one city by his era. Some historians argue the crisis of the 3rd century had undermined Rome's pre-eminence.
I really enjoyed your presentation. You provided me with the information I was looking for. I've been fascinated by Byzantine empire gold coins lately. Thank you
I will try featuring more Byzantines in the near future, they are very interesting coins indeed :)
I just picked up a Solidus of Maurice Tiberius.
I have a Solidus of Marcianus. Interesting, but not quite the same as an Aureus in terms of worksmanship. The Solidus though, was the US dollar of the middle ages for 600 hundred years. Gradually debased in purity until it was replaced by the Hyperpyron. History is repeating at the moment with the US$.
Wow, so much gold, love it
I recently found this channel, and I have to say I enjoy the topic. I already collect both gold and silver coins (bullions), but the Roman, Byzantine coins have both history & soul.
Greek “Nike” looked like a Angel
Many say that the image of Nike directly influences the future christian depiction of angels. I'd agree with that statement.
Perhaps inspired by the “Nike of Samothrace” with the wings the same statue kept in Louvre
Nice! New vid.
The Byzantine solidus are magnificent, but who has the $$$ ?
Silver
I managed to get my hands on a Justinian I the Great follis during a savoca auction. I never realized how big it was until it arrived
The debasement of byzantine coins is very interesting, but it is hard to find video's about it.
Beautiful and fascinating gold coins. I would love to know more about how these coins were produced. Were they struck, if so, with what? Were they pressed? Were they cast? What is their purity? Is any of this known by anyone?
Theres a video on my channel about coin manufacture, look it up :)
thanks for explaining the reddish i asked recently in another video before i watched this video. aa you describe it as sunburn.
time?
Perhaps you've made a video about this topic already (I didn't see one in a quick search of your channel. I've been a subscriber for a long time but only recently starting watching your videos again.)... but how did you learn classical numismatics?
Is it all self-taught, did you take formal classes, is it your profession? (outside of RUclips)
I'd love to know as much as you do some day, but I know that it would take real dedication and many years of study.
I haven't decided whether or not I want to make that commitment at this point in time. Thanks!
It was a mix of lots of googling around, buying books and studying, going to museums, basically being interested and looking for information whenever you can.
Im self-taught, and its a constant pursuit for new things.
In fact, this youtube channel has helped me a lot, it FORCES me to study about a certain theme as to pass proper information.
Could you do a video on Dekadrachms?
One day, hopefully! Just need to get my hands on one!
"Yeah I gold stack"
Gotta create a new tacking channel: "Byzantine Stacking"
