In collaboration with colleagues in physics and metallurgy, Cecile
Morrison has helped transform our knowledge of the techniques of
late Roman and Byzantine coin production. The results are
illustrated in the studies here which look in detail at standards
of refining and processes of debasement. This analysis can also
identify sources of metal, and explains the enigmatic appearance of
concave gold coins n the 11th century. The volume itself opens with
a comparison of the methods of numismatics and sigillography, and
an epigraphic study showing the conservatism of the Byzantine
coinage up until 1204. The following articles turn to the finances
and economy of Byzantium, making full use of recent advances in
numismatics. They aim to assess the importance of the state and
other economic agents during the empire's different phases of
expansion and contraction, and demonstrate how fiscal documents and
legislation on treasure hoards can be used as evidence for the
state of public finances.
