The Mytilene Hoard. The 32 gold coins of the emperors
Fokas (602-610) and Herakleios (610-625) and 21 pieces of valuable jewelry
that were buried together with the silver vessels - presumably hidden in
order to save them from being looted - were found at Krategos , outside
the town of Mytilene (north Aegean Sea). The dates of the coins (625-626
AD) provide evidence of when the hoard was buried , a period characterized
by continuous waves of hostlile incursions against Byzantium. Byzantine
