In the summer of 1099 he was captured bythe Danishmendids and remained a prisoner for four years. During his absence Antiochwas ruled by his nephew Tancred. In 1104 Bohemond left the Holy Land and neverreturned. Until his death in 1111 he titled himself Prince of Antioch and was succeededby his infant son, also called Bohemond. Tancred (1104–12) and his successor Roger(1112–19) also used the title 'Prince‘ and obviously considered themselves more thanjust simply 'regents‘ for Bohemond I or II.The coinage attributed to Bohemond I, prince of Antioch (1098–1111) consists of asingle type in copper in Byzantine style. It depicts a bust of St Peter on the obverse and afloreate cross, with the letters B H M T in the angles, on the reverse. Ever since it wasfirst attributed to Bohemond I by de Saulcy in 1847 it has been generally accepted thatthis type is a coin of...

Hendy, Studies, p. 157. 4 Hendy, 'Administrative basis', p. 138. 5 Comprising 6,000 coins it was discovered in 2007 in a village situated on the road between Damascus and Dera. At present it is 'being cleaned' and only 38 pieces have been published consisting of very worn folles of Anastasius and Justin I and seven of the 'military mint' NIKO year 6, six of KVZ dated year 10 and one of Maurice CNO (?) year 1. To what extent this high proportion of 'military' folles is reflected in the entire hoard will only be clear when (and if) it is ever properly published. As the authors put it, 'Une enquête ultérieure pourrait établir leur relation possible avec le rôle du limes syrien dans les campagnes contre les Perses', Kiwan and Morrisson, 'Trésors monétaires'.

These coins were widely imitated. This phenomenon has long been recognised but no attempt has been made to put these imitations into a historical context or survey the types.
Errata: Coin no. 42 is a later tetarteron.
It has been suggested that coin no. 43 is from the Seventh Century.

The article concluded with a discussion of the occurrence of Byzantine copper coins in Syria long after the Arabs had occupied it. 2 This had been already been noted by several authors but had not been studied systematically. We argued that the volume of copper coins involved was far too great to be attributed to casual losses through commercial or military activity. Furthermore the phenomenon needed to be put into context by comparing finds from Syria with those from areas that were still held by the Byzantines: Anatolia, Cyprus and Greece.

From the Coin Hoards section of The Numismatic Chronicle 2013.
The article describes a group of fine silver coins which appeared in trade and seem to be a ‘lost’ element from the Flostoy hoard of 1883. The gros tournois in the parcel are analysed in detail.

tournois in the Low Countries (which as far as possible are treated as a unit rather than separate states) on the basis of numismatic and literary evidence. The gros made
little initial impact but began to play an increasingly important role afer 1279. It is suggested that this was not due to it being too large for everyday use but to a combination of shortage of supply and hoarding.
The gros was sufficiently important to be imitated by local rulers in the 1280s. Hostility to these imitations probably led to the production of deceptive imitations as well.
The onset of debasement in France after 1295 and the Franco-Flemish war, which brought large amounts of silver into the region, led to more imitations being produced. After 1305 the gros was well established in the circulating currency but there was considerable, if unjustified, suspicion of imitations and recent French issues.
