Füeg, Franz. Corpus of the Nomismata from Anastasius II to John I in Constantinople, 713-976. Structure of the Issues. Corpus of Coin Finds. Contributions to the Iconographic and Monetary History. (Lancaster and London, 2007). 196 pages, illustrated throughout with 352 coins. Hardbound with dust jacket, includes a CD-ROM which illustrates each of the 7,780 nomismata listed in the Corpus. The first comprehensive catalogue of almost all the gold nomismata struck at Constantinople from 713-976, this book compiles the material accessible in museum collections and publications, as well as previously unpublished specimens from both finds and private collections, and provides a detailed overview of the output of the Byzantine imperial mint during that critical period in that empire’s political and economic history, when its influence in Italy was drastically waning and it faced stiff opposition from rising Islamic influence in Anatolia and the Levant. Scuff on front cover from contact with another book, otherwise as New.
