Good description of each empire and coins used

A valuable collection of coins and art from the Byzantine Empire through the fourth to the fifteenth century. Some useful sources on medieval Serbia.

I'm not sure how useful people will find this, however some might use it so I've included it. It contains translations of coins and seals from the Byzantine Empire organised around historical personalities and topics.

This edition completes the inclusion of published archival material from the monasteries of Mt Athos, and that relating to Nea Mone (Chios). It adds basic treatment of Byzantine Italy till the capture of Bari (1071). There has been considerable tidying throughout, but especially at the beginning and end, a process which will continue in the next edition (2007.1). The main emphasis of that edition will be on seals.

This is a database set up in the UK to record archaeological artefacts found in Britain. It has a growing collection of coins, art, etc usually accompanied by an image. Would be useful when designing classroom resources or in senior student research, I would imagine.

This looks like an absolute treasure of a find, however the list does not lead to actual image, only descriptions of artefacts. They say they're still adding to it, perhaps that's why the images aren't up? I guess the pace of change is slower for classicists. Anyway, if they ever add those images this site will be an Ancient History teacher's dream. Fingers crossed.

Just refound this (to coin a neologism). Looks liks it might provide a useful tool for turning primary sources into lesson plans.

Part of an excellent group of online collections run out of Harvard libraries.
