        Some evidence for Greeks in 10thC and 11thC England: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=V2o0EkM-tYYC&lpg=PA130&pg=PA130#v=onepage&q&f=false …pic.twitter.com/y9S5xC6cE9

        Text mentioning an Andreas Grecus who was at Winchester in the late 10th century; a Greek bishop called Sigedwoldus in mid-10th-century England; and Greek monks called Symeon and Constantine in 10th- to 11th-century England.

        The 10thC Persian Hudud al-'Alam on Britain; considers it a land and emporium of the Rūm/Byzantines: http://www.caitlingreen.org/2016/04/heptarchy-harun-ibn-yahya.html …pic.twitter.com/YmVugLyNyr

        "There are twelve islands called Britaniya, of which some are cultivated and some desolate. On them are found numerous mountains, rivers, villages, and different mines... Britannia, the last land of Rum on the coast of the Ocean. It is an emporium of Rum and Spain."

        A coin made into a pendant by the addition of a loop and ring; around half the coin is broken off.

        Was this partly because 'Anglorum rex' had been used by kings of East Angles?

        It is consistently glossed 'rex' and/or 'cyning' not 'imperator' or 'caesar' (OE for emperor).

        There was a fad for Graecisms from 10thC on, inspired in part by the works of Aldhelm.

        Interesting to consider Edward’s Sovereign/Eagles type (1056-59) and the model from which it apparently drew influence; the solidi of Justinian II. Formerly called the Sovereign/Martlets type until reconsidered by Dolley in 1961.pic.twitter.com/zr7f5Qi7cr

        Ancient coins/seals always intrigue. EC looks like an old version of Teddy Roosevelt: 'Speak softly, but carry a big stick'.
