Description
Description
Marks the transition between Pagan Rome and the Byzantine empire adopting the faith .
A fascinating bronze coin from the Byzantine Empire, featuring Christian imagery that reflects the deep religious devotion of the Eastern Roman world.
During the Middle Byzantine period, Constantinople stood as the heart of a powerful Christian empire, home to magnificent churches such as Hagia Sophia, built under Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century AD. Byzantine emperors considered themselves defenders of the Christian faith, and their coinage became an important expression of that belief.
Hand-struck over a thousand years ago, this remarkable coin offers a tangible connection to the emperors, churches, and Christian traditions of medieval Byzantium.
Period and Time
Period and Time
During the 10th and 11th centuries AD, the Byzantine Empire continued the traditions of the Eastern Roman Empire, with Constantinople serving as its capital. Anonymous bronze folles of this period prominently featured Jesus Christ rather than an emperor's portrait, reflecting the importance of Christian faith in Byzantine society.
Material
Material
Struck in bronze, an alloy primarily composed of copper, these coins were produced by placing a prepared metal blank between two engraved dies. A hammer blow transferred the designs onto both sides. Each coin was individually struck, resulting in natural variations in shape, centering, and detail.
