The coinage of the Eastern Roman - or
Byzantine, as came to be known much later - Empire spans a whole millenium,
is generally available, and offers many treats for the collector. The series
begins, by convention, with the lasting monetary reform of Anastasius I
(498 AD), and ends together with the state itself, with the Ottoman conquest
of the 15th century.
