American Numismatic Society - For the past month, Andrei Gandila, an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, has been at the ANS working on a project that examines the coinage of Byzantium. He was kind enough to sit for a short interview about his work, and what follows is a lightly edited transcript of our talk.

There was a time in the early Byzantine Empire, when the gold solidus was the most respected and recognised trading coin in the World, including the Indian Sub Continent and Africa, from Britain to China.

That makes the subject of Byzantine coinage well worth studying.

i was reading an article the other day about the bronze 40 nummi coins being found in britian, they thought they were modern(ish) drops but so many have been found my metal detecting folks that they figure they circulated there as well.

any of you metal detector guys in the UK found any byzantine coins?

i did find this post from a couple years back...
