Who held this before?
Picture the Byzantine world across two turbulent centuries. Marble cities and dusty villages. Church bells ringing while armies march beyond the walls. Empires shrinking, borders shifting, faith holding everything together.
This bronze coin once mattered in ordinary moments. It may have bought bread in a city market or oil for a lamp in a quiet home.
It could have passed through a soldier’s hands on distant frontiers or a merchant’s stall as war, plague, and change pressed closer. Perhaps it moved through generations of the same family, surviving when much else did not.
This coin lived through upheaval, resilience, and survival. Hands shaped by belief, hardship, and routine carried it forward while the ancient world slowly became medieval. Their lives ended. Their cities changed.
