Th. Noonan, When and how dirhams first reached Russia.
This article constitutes the initial part of a larger study of the historical significance of the thousands of Islamic silver coins or dirhams found in medieval European Russia and adjoining areas. In this first part, it is argued that the flow of dirhams into European Russia began around 800 A.D., as was established by Richard Fasmer (Vasmer) in the 1920's and 1930's. The bulk of the article, however, attempts to demonstrate that the earliest dirhams to reach Russia came from the Near East and were transported to Eastern Europe via the Caucasus/Caspian route. There is no numismatic evidence that dirhams came to Russia from or through Central Asia at this time. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
