During his reign, the empire experienced great expansion, in the context of the Reconquista, the reconquest of the old territories of the Roman Empire. Justinian ensured the codification of laws, adopted new fiscal and administrative measures and organized the defense of the empire. The circulation of coins during his reign was very large due to the long-term military operations and the payment of soldiers, as well as the extensive building and fortification projects. His coins were issued by 11 different mints and in a wide variety of subdivisions in the bronze coin.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emperor Justinian is depicted on this bronze coin, the folli, the largest bronze subdivision of the Byzantine monetary system until the 11th century.
