What always has well "struck" me is how badly the art of die engraving had devolved by the time the late 500s AD rolled around When compared to the exquisitely detailed and lifelike obverse busts and reverse designs of classical Greek and late West Roman coinage, the Byzantine designs appear very crude and simplified; almost reminiscent of what a small child would draw on a scrap of paper Was the die engraving art simply forgotten over time?

Great video! I really enjoy your channel I learn more each time I watch something you’ve made Ancient coins are absolutely fascinating I love the history and the culture It’s fun to consider the many people who have handled each coin over the centuries Your new solidus is beautiful! Best wishes to all!

I own a part share in three virtual aurei from the reign of Probus Maximus which I purchased from FTX Apparently they were issued by his freedman Bankmanius of Samos in 280 from the legendary Insulae Hesperides mint

I don't have a bizantine one but I have recently purchased a late roman coin It's a nice Arcadius' solidus with the youthful bust looking right on the obverse and the standing personification of Constantinople holding globe on reverse I really like the style because even if it's late 4th century (383) with the emperor wearing the pearl-diademed crown, still has a classical appeal on it One day i would like to have a solidus of Justinian the great or Justin II aswell

I have a pentanummium of the joined reign of Justin I and Justinian I (527 AD) showing on the reverse the Tyche of Antioch This was a personification of Antioch, a pagan goddess with the characteristic city walls as her crown At the time of the minting of the coin she had been venerated for around 800 years, but after the reign of Justinian she would not reappear on coins

Interesting that despite the Christianisation of the empire by this point, that many coins are still covered with Roman gods/personifications like victory and Concordia etc

I dislike the art style of the late Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire Some have argued that this change of art style wasn't an indicator of decline in artistic ability but I see it as evidence of their decadence and their loss of competence in doing realistic renderings
