description: <div class="description"> <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">byzantine</u> Gold Coins The vast number of surviving <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">byzantine</u> coins attests to the level of trade across the empire. Controlled and supervised by the emperor, the producers of coins took care to represent his authority and reflect his stature. Talented artists were recruited to engrave the dies (molds) used for the striking of coins. Emperors increasingly came to include their heirs and co-emperors on their coinage, as well as other family members or even earlier rulers. Coins were recognized, then as now, as small, portable works of <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">art</u>. With their inscriptions and images, <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">byzantine</u> coins provide valuable documentation of historical events and a record of the physical appearance of the emperors. The coins shown here include the solidus, the basic gold coin of 24 karats; the tremissis, a gold coin of one-third the weight and value of the solidus; and the nomisma, which in the 10th century replaced the solidus as the standard gold coin.</div>

description: In the thirteenth century a canon bequeathed to the cathedral an ancient <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">byzantine</u> icon depicting the Virgin with the Infant Jesus, considered the work of St. Luke. This icon was immediately used in the solemn liturgies of the cathedral (already linked to the Marian cult, by title), and immediately became dear to the citizens, so much so that the canons took up the use of gathering around the image, singing an antiphon on Saturday Marian. The painting was also transported outside in solemn processions, so much so that it was necessary, in the fourteenth century, to preserve it from wear with copies. Two of these replacement paintings are still preserved today, works by Guariento di Arpo (now in the Metropolitan Museum of <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">art</u> in New York) and by Giusto de 'Menabuoi (now in the Diocesan Museum, in the Episcopal Palace). From the seventeenth century the historic icon was displayed on the special altar in the new right transept, but due to an accident, it was ruined in 1647. It was immediately replaced with an identical copy, so much so that it was discovered that it was not the original only in 1974.
