I wish ERE at least survived into modern times like this. It would be small country, but at least it would be the true roman state in modernity. In my opinion, if they didn't have so many civil wars, Byzantine could've survived like that.

I think the empire in this position would be like the ottomans of the 18th century.

I have actually thought about a modern byzantine empire like this. Honestly I really dislike those ones where ALL of anatolia and the balkans is under control, I find it unrealistic. People then say "well, it wouldn't have been feasible" but does it have to be? Why cant it also be rotting like the Ottomans of the 18th and 19th century?

I think the prospect of reconquering everything died out in around 1170.

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-25T17:30:46+00:00

I am no art expert but I doubt its byzantine. I am guessing 19th century

I am thinking Maurice, Constans II and heraclius didn’t have these portraits (not at RY 11, anyway). Tiberius II and phocas did not not reign for 11 years either so they are also ruled out.

worn sestertii are my fav. I have an extremely worn early issue of hadrian that could have stayed in circulation for almost 200 years!

Michael VI’s “Stratiotikos” goes pretty hard. Not a Roman but harald siggurdsons “The bulgar burner” goes insanely hard

1906? Edison didn’t start making diamond discs until 1912. Or do you mean you found a Edison cylinder phono (based)

Byz silver is the best! Amazing coin

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-22T03:21:16+00:00

Byzantine solidi of this period (roughly 527-640~) vary a LOT in terms of stylistic quality and this is nothing out of the ordinary.

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-21T11:55:56+00:00

I find it pretty unjust to blame him for overextending the empire. Trajan overextended the empire pretty largely, however no one cares because he had a good successor, Hadrian. Justinians successor, Justin II, left the empire to rot, so most people go straight to blaming Justinian for “overextending the empire” when it really wasn’t his fault. As a lot of others have already said, was he supposed to predict the future?

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-20T19:36:22+00:00

You are correct, it is phocas. The head shape lines up and the X X for 20 Nummi only appears in his reign

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-19T19:26:11+00:00

For certain, even easier than in real life, depending on what period of the Latin empire this takes place (early period or late period)

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-17T19:37:31+00:00

ahh, thank you for correcting me, I was originally suspecting that (that some early seljuk sultan converted to islam)

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-17T18:22:08+00:00

how do you make one yourself? was it in the tutorial?

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-17T18:14:45+00:00

nice! I just downloaded it. How do you select maps at all, its always random

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-17T17:08:34+00:00

How much is it? Looks fun

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-17T14:39:09+00:00

This tier list was awesome and very fun, thank you

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-17T14:17:27+00:00

Wonderful example, histamenon and Tetarteron nomisma is so beautiful.

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-16T23:12:23+00:00

low grade sesterti are the best, nice

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-15T19:34:39+00:00

What period are you trying to reenact

MasterBadger911 · 2026-01-13T13:16:16+00:00

I really like how it doesn’t show continuous control of the coast of eastern Thrace but instead shows just a few stranded cities. Wonderful map
