The study of Byzantine coins is essentially the study of
communications and movement of people and ideas, within and outside
Byzantium. This highly illustrated and accessible volume, winner of
the Royal Numismatic Society Lhotka Prize 2007 and nominated for
the Art Newspaper & AXA Art Exhibition Catalogue Award 2007,
focuses on over 50 coins to explore the empire's political and
socio-economic development and cultural relations with its
neighbours. It looks variously at city markets and the exchange of
goods between different parts of the Byzantine Empire; at
Byzantines travelling to the West; including trade between the
Svear and the Romans and trade with Britain; Byzantines travelling
to the East, including Armenia, Anatolia and China; the Byzantine
legacy in the Islamic world, including the cult of Alexander the
Great; and Western merchants in the East, particularly Venetians.
The study concludes with the story of the late Byzantine emperors
travelling to the West, and the impact their journeys had on
western European art.
