Catalogue Of The Imperial Byzantine Coins In The British Museum, Volume 1

The present Catalogue describes in two volumes (paged continuously) the coinage of the later Roman or Byzantine Empire from the accession of Anastasius I in A. D. 4:91 to the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. With the exception of some of the specimens arranged under the headings of 'Italian' and 'Provincial ' coinages, the coins here catalogued are those that are believed to have been issued by Imperial authority at Constantinople and the other mint-places of the Empire. The coinages of the so-called ' Empires' of Nicaea, Thessalonica and Trebizond, as well 88 those of the Vandals, Goths, and Lombards, which have often been confused with the true Imperial coinages, are reserved for treatment in a subsequent volume.
