 | Venetian Coins Excavated in Strumica | | culture.in |  11 May 2009 | |  | |  Strumica archaeologists have excavated a site including 80 silver Venetian coins dating from the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century.
Initial information point to the fact there had been intensive life throughout the centuries, whereas the population had commercial ties with the Venice Republic, especially after the fall of Constantinople in 1204 and creation of the Latin kingdoms in the Byzantine Empire.
Strumica archaeologists recently revealed sites of about 4,300 Byzantine coins from the period of the Komneni dynasty and dozen coins with the image of Philip II of Macedon from the 4th century B.C. |  |
