@katemond oh, I know! It's fabulous! It's the only example of that issue, poss found in Rome+part of payment to papacy, so never circulated?
@caitlinrgreen @katemond And this is the sort of Abbasid dinar. I find the Offa lettering rather charming.pic.twitter.com/QVjOB8RVLI
@BeardyHowse @katemond Thank you :) And yes, it's rather lovely, even though the Offa Rex lettering is upside down relative to the Arabic!
@caitlinrgreen @BeardyHowse @katemond Keep mining my database for examples :-)
@portableant @BeardyHowse @katemond lol! :) It's a wonderful, wonderful database---so much great stuff :)
@caitlinrgreen @BeardyHowse @katemond thanks, lots of new features post Christmas all on a budget of 5 denarii.
@portableant Ooh, intriguing.... And it manages a lot for those 5d! ;)
.@caitlinrgreen @katemond Our own @HorneSupremacy (me!) wrote his 2014 PhD on dirhams in Viking Age Britain and Ireland! They are SO cool.
@HorneSupremacy @LoveArchaeology They are! :) And nice topic! Anything online to read by you that you can link me? :)

@LoveArchaeology @HorneSupremacy That looks rly interesting, thank you! I look forward to reading more soon :) Can similar approaches >
@LoveArchaeology @HorneSupremacy > apply to pre-Viking Scand trade at all (eg. amber imports to 6thC Scand-settled areas) or not poss/tried?
.@caitlinrgreen @HorneSupremacy I think network structures, network agents, nodal markets, and market trade cld be transposed quite widely!
