Research paper thumbnail of ABSTRACT: Coins as Evidence: Antioch in the transitional period between Late Antiquity and early Byzantium

In my work, I gathered the basic information on coins struck in Antioch between 324 and 610. This is a rather interesting period as it covers the era of tremendous growth when the city served as a residence for various fourth century emperors and it reaches the years when Antioch struggled with economic problems, natural catastrophes and Persian raids in the 6th century.

In the 6th century these were the only imperial mints to be found in the region of Asia Minor, and they also produced bronze coins on a large scale. These three mints struck a variety of denominations that were common in the capital city and would quickly adopt the innovations that were introduced there.

The focus is given to the images of local Tychai that could be identified with a particular city, in which the coins were struck. The figures of Roma and Constantinopolis were omitted from the study because they are generally associated with the promotion of imperial power and not with the self-identification and self-representation of a particular place.

The analysis has demonstrated that the images of local Tychai were rather rare in the period under study. They were predominantly limited to specific places and did not belong to a general image repertoire but appeared only a few times and for a relatively short time. The sites that produced coins or multiples with such images were Antioch, Ravenna, Mediolanum and Carthage; and Aquilea under the usurper Magnentius. Only once, in the second half of the 4th century an unspecified figure of a Tyche (a female wearing a turreted crown) appeared on coins and multiples across the Mediterranean.

The study observes a significant difference in the way the local Tyche was represented in the 4th and later, in the 5th and 6th centuries. All the fourth century, local Tyche is depicted alongside the emperor indicating that the personification was incorporated in the imperial propaganda, while in the rare cases from the 5th and 6th centuries, the female personification stands alone. Such cases were evidently related exclusively to the place representation. Moreover, the images from the 5th and 6th centuries tended to follow older iconographic models; similar images are found on issues struck in the 3rd century and earlier, while the coins images of Tychai in the 4th century are rather prototypes. This research shows that there existed a huge development in the use of figures of local personifications between the 4th and 6th centuries and that the cities of Antioch, Ravenna and Carthage in some moments returned to older iconographic models to emphasize their identity and tradition. In addition, a role of barbarians as transmitters is obvious in the case of the Western Mediterranean.

At this time, a number of numismatic types appeared that had no analogues in Byzantium. The present article focuses on the analysis of the features whose origin can be found in the coinage of Western Europe.
These influences were reflected both in iconography and in some cases in legends. Some influences of Western iconography on Byzantine coins can be traced even in previous periods,
but it was the first time under the Palaelogan dynasty when these influences became long-term
and started to gradually dominate the iconographic repertoire. The first such influences started to appear on Palaeologan coins already in 1261 and they became definitely more spread after 1304. After 1367 the western style predominates. The article discusses various issues that
were definitely influenced by Western models and puts them in context with the political and economic development in the Mediterranean during the Palaeologan period.

Julian spent a rather important part of his reign in the city of Antioch that became his principal residence in July 362 and maintained this status till March 363. It is interesting that in the city which has been traditionally related to the Hellenistic tradition, the most distinctive coins struck in the name of Julian are not related to his cultural and religious ideas, but to the city’s role as a military and political centre which in this period played an enormously significant role in the organisation of the campaigns against its Eastern neighbours.

The specific period (324-610 AD) which is going to be presented here was chosen for several reasons. The first is that these dates are pivotal in the history of the mint of Antioch. During 324 AD Constantine the Great started to rule as a sole emperor after a Civil War, introduced new features on his coinage and gained power of the city of Antioch which immediately started to strike coins in his name. Secondly, the year 610 was the last year that activity of the mint of Antioch is attested, because after that year the city was on Persian rule. The research has shown that the Numismatic Museum of Athens (NMA) holds three hundred twenty-nine (329) coins which can be attributed to the mint of Antioch and dated without any doubts between 324 and 610 …

Rostoucí vliv západní ikonografie je interpretován jako důsledek obecně rostoucího vlivu západoevropských států a obchodníků a hegemonů západoevropského původu na politické a ekonomické dění ve východním Středomoří a snahy Byzance zůstat konkurenceschopnou.

In general, the precise interpretation of empresses' representations on Byzantine coins is rather complicated as actually the cases are rare and in some instances rather peculiar. The topic poses various questions related mainly to specificities of the depictions on coins struck in provincial mints. In some Byzantine mints the designs with depictions of empresses were not employed at all and in some other cases the depictions bore different features than the representations on coins struck in the capital city. These regional peculiarities indicate different situations in specific regions and provide field for various interpretations and some of them seem to be related to the needs of imperial propaganda among soldiers serving in provinces. The present paper proves that the precise reasons and criteria for the depiction of each empress could be slightly different in each of the studied cases; however the dynastic policy was usually the main catalyst which could influence the reality that a concrete empress was depicted on coins.

Research paper thumbnail of Slavs and Local Communities in the Byzantine Empire: a review of three selected monographs published in Greece in the last decade (2008-2016)

Porphyra XXVII, 2018

The period between 2000 and 2017 was rather fruitful in Greece concerning new publications focusing on Slavs in Byzantium. During the first fifteen years of the new millennium, several significant monographs were published that focused on some of the aspects of the history and culture of Slavs in the Byzantine Empire. For the purpose of the present review, I have selected three monographs that focus on Slavs settled in Byzantium and the evidence of their presence in particular regions of modern Greece. The main aim is to demonstrate that the Slavo-Byzantine or Slavo-Greek contacts are often studied also as a part of a regional history, because they allow for a better understanding of some specific cultural features and historic developments of local communities. The books reviewed here represent just a selection of publications that were published in Greece during the last ten years and one of the criteria to include them was the fact that these books illustrate the diversity and complexity of subjects related to the Slavic presence in different parts of Byzantium.

Part of them were gradually abandoned, the other part was incorporated into Byzantine monetary system and acquired a new Christian meaning. During two short-term rollbacks to paganism ancient iconography traditionally played more profound role in Byzantine provinces, than in the Capital city. This article is focused on comparative analysis of ancient symbols used in the Byzantine coinage. The author comes to conclusion that ancient motifs continued to exist alongside with new Christian symbols in coinage pattern throughout Byzantine early history. However, the ability of Byzantines to properly understand ancient motifs remains a question.

Research paper thumbnail of Procopius on the Religion of the Early Slavs: Comparison with Other Barbarians

The present article adopts a different approach to this material and compares the information on the religion of the Sclavenes and the Antes with the beliefs of other barbarian groups mentioned by Procopius. The study demonstrates that the sentences on early Slavic religion are rather unique in Procopius’s works especially in respect to the variety of his topics. Furthermore, the evidence indicates that the most similar elements in his descriptions of religious practices connect the early Slavs and the inhabitants of the island of Thule. This does not mean, however, that they were perceived as related by Procopius as there are no similarities in the description of other cultural specificities. The textual evidence nevertheless indicates that Procopius...
