Hey #medievaltwitter, has anyone done studies of the appearances of leaders on coinage in the early medieval period? I am specifically looking at early Medieval English coinage, and how kings were depicted.

I think Byzantinists have paid attention to this, eg. Cecily Hilsdale.

Yeah I figured they would have which makes sense. I guess I am interested in how other European societies at the time reflected Imperial iconography.

Also, look at the work of Rory Naismith, as he's an expert on coinage of that period/place.
