#中国古墓里的拜占庭金币
1953年夏,
中国的山西文物考古研究所的
一批考古人员在咸阳市附近的一个小村庄
发掘了隋高官员杜谷洛(534-599)的坟墓。

在墓穴里面发现了一枚拜占庭小金币。
金币正面模糊的人物
是拜占庭国王贾斯廷二世(565-578),
与他同时代中国的帝王是隋文帝杨坚。

在当时的拜占庭和隋之间,还有浩瀚的萨珊波斯帝国。

图为萨珊波斯女性服饰。
在贾斯廷二世以前,
出手大方的拜占庭帝国遇到外敌,
习惯采用绥靖政策,支付敌人一些金币,签一张合约。

到了公元572年,
贾斯廷二世的国库基本已经空了,
再也没有钱支付给东北面的波斯,
萨珊帝国与东罗马之间的一场大战
在所难免。

这场战争以波斯大胜,贾斯廷二世战败疯了告终。
