C. Morrisson has written on the gold/silver coins found in Britain in 2014, very interesting read :)https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6zgXBgAAQBAJ&lpg=PA207&ots=pilvSbvKow&dq=Byzantine%20Coins%20in%20Early%20Medieval%20Britain%3A%20a%20Byzantinist%27s%20assessment&pg=PA207#v=onepage&q&f=false …
yes! Well worth a read! :)
Most interesting aspect may well be that Harun ibn Yahya's account seems to push idea of Saxon Heptarchy back from 12thC to at least 9thC...
However, also offers interesting perspective on relations between Britain+Constantinople & opportunity to discuss evidence for contact :)
@caitlinrgreen I'm thinking it might suggest that British rulers were paying lip-service to Constantinople in exchange for trade-deals. :O
@MariusHollenga Like the Franks, perhaps? Seems possible!

10thC Persian Hudud al-'Alam also fascinating, both for its ref to Byzantine/Spanish trade & ref to mines=hints of the Byzantine tin trade?
The 10thC Persian Hudud al-'Alam also mentions Britain and considers it a land of the Rūm/Byzantines:pic.twitter.com/bm7OgswuiQ
