Torquelover New Member China 16 Posts	Posted 04/02/2013 11:07 pm Hi I have been collecting Byzantine solidus for the past 3 years. My aim is to get one solidus for each of the emperior during the byzantine era from Anastasius I to John IV of Empire of Trebizond. So far, managed only to collect 7 solidus - Anastasius I, Justin I, Phacas, Heraclius, Constantine VII, Constantine IX. still a long way to go for me (too many holes in my pocket). This endevour is definitely going to last me a lifetime. I chanced upon this site and was blown away with the amount of information. Glad to be part of this community. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/03/2013 09:06 am To collect Byzantine solidii on this scale is a numismatic labour of love. There is no doubt that you will eventually become a leading authority on the subject, from whom we could learn. Collectively we may know a bit on the subject, but I suspect that singularly, you may end up knowing more on the subject than the rest of us put together. Currently, I have but one Byzantine solidus only, (a more common one of Phocas), but that is because my collection is of a very general nature, part of which includes ancient coins.
