Title A name given to the resource Follis of Justinian I, Kyzikos Subject The topic of the resource Byzantine struck bronze coin Description An account of the resource This coin was produced between 498 and 518 C.E. and it is holed like the coin of Romanos IV (which came much later in the 11th century). Coins serving as amulets is not uncommon and we see this practice throughout the Middle Ages. On this coin, the mention of the holy is not as apparent. On one side is again, the ruler Justinian I and on the other is a cross. Perhaps the presence of the ruler was enough to suggest a divine theme, leading to this coin's use as an amulet.

Title A name given to the resource Follis of Justinian I, Nicomedia Subject The topic of the resource Byzantine Coin Description An account of the resource This is an Early Byzantine struck bronze coin depicting emperor Justinian I holding the cross. Like countless other rulers, he justifies his power by posing himself with a holy object. This coin dates to the sixth century, so we know that the tradition of incorporating divine themes (however small) on coins was a long standing tradition.
