  • Summary

    Apulia had formed a part of Longobardia minor until the ninth century. With the exception of the outer South-East, which the Greeks had reached from Sicily, it was a region of Lombard law, Latin language, and Roman rites, of which only the central part was heavily populated. The division of Longobardia minor between the empire and the principalities took place gradually. In 969–70, the theme became the catepanate of Italy. The gastalds were replaced by tourmarchoi; the empire sent officers of the tagmata and other troops. It created new towns in Basilicata. Finally, in the years 1010–20, the catepan Basil Boioannes founded the towns of Capitanata to protect the frontier with the principality of Benevento. In the central region the Byzantine fiscal system was implemented before the end of the tenth century.

  • This paper gives a brief report on the 21 Byzantine coins recovered during archaeological fieldwork at Hadrianoupolis in southwestern Paphlagonia between 2005 and 2008. One coin is silver and the rest are all bronze or copper alloy. Chronologically, the latter are divided between the Early and the Middle Byzantine periods. Although the assemblage is small, it provides useful information about the distribution of Byzantine coins from one of the more remote rural areas of northern Asia Minor.
