TheTrachyEnjoyer Posted July 24, 2023 · Member Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Hi all, I was privileged to recently give a seminar on late Byzantine coinage at 2023 Historicon in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I have shared a few preliminary clips on youtube. I am currently editing the whole talk by adding the powerpoint slides directly onto the video. This should make following the illustrations and explanations easier! The planned release will be this Friday. The talk encompasses the role of the Byzantine emperor in Byzantium and what messages the emperor was trying to send with specific iconography. Afterwards, there was a hands on demonstration where people got to take the coins home afterwards! They seemed quite excited…😂but I think I was happier to get rid of all my low end trachys! 😁 Edited July 24, 2023 by TheTrachyEnjoyer 17 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieCollector Posted July 25, 2023 · Member Share Posted July 25, 2023 Thanks @TheTrachyEnjoyer But there us no such thing as post 1204 Byzantine coinage. There is Epirus, Trebizond, and Nicaea coinage, followed by Nicaea coinage pretending to be Byzantine coinage. Ok ok, just joking! Thanks for sharing and very informative. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieCollector Posted July 25, 2023 · Member Share Posted July 25, 2023 I look forward to hearing about that! I have discussed this point in other forums and have argued strongly that Nicaea were a government in exile. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severus Alexander Posted July 26, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2023 Excellent job!! You’re a great presenter. I love the feeding frenzy in the third clip too, and can relate to the curse of the low-end trachy infestation! 😆 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPK Posted July 28, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2023 Looks great! Must be a lot of fun to be able to do things like this, actually talk at length and in depth about ancient coins while people listen and are interested! 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
