SORU:
What was 'Nomisma' in the Byzantine Empire?
CEVAP: The imperial government prohibited the export of gold from the empire to preserve it from depletion. Nomisma, a Byzantine gold coin that was the standard of exchange for buying and selling goods all over the Mediterranean and in the East, lasted for many centuries. It was called a gold solidus and introduced by Constantine. With smaller bronze coins, it became the standard of exchange and was not debased until late in the eleventh century. Later, Byzantine currency tended to be made of silver.
