The publication of this Catalogue of Byzantine coins from Mesemvria, is an event which could not be omitted and left without congratulations, as this town, with a marvelous natural location of particular importance for its economics during the Middle Ages, constantly changed its rulers passing from Byzantine to Bulgarian rule and vice versa. The town's destiny has actually reflected the link between Greek and Bulgarian people with all the changes which occurred during the prolonged neighbourhood of both - strong competition and peaceful economical and political collaboration.
Nicolas Oikonomides
