It covers the Byzantine period (582-878), the period of Arab domination (835-1064), and Norman Sicily (1072-1194). The book includes a historical introduction to each ruler and complete descriptions of coins and variants. Major types are all photographed. The book does not include the Arabic legends for the period 835-1064, but does include a translation into Italian. A book on how to read Arabic coins would be recommended for this period, ex James Farr Collection Library.
