Well, /his/? Can you guess what happened?

>>17806199 (OP)
Different mints
Different techniques
Different tastes and styles
It's like with Diocletian's coins. People bemoan Late Roman coins when it was 100% just due to Diocletian's personal tastes. His earliest coins are in the same exact form as previous ones and early on he changes them to have massive eyes and a thick ass fucking neck for some reason and nobody really bothered to change it back because he was the superstar Emperor even in Constantine's rule for Imperial circles.

nigga, minting molds cost money too

did it involve something about dead kike on a stick?

Is the one on the right even roman? Looks like some germoid larper coinage

>>17806225

uhh Fomenko againsters...

>>17806199 (OP)
it's just a different artstyle, you heckin chud
it's still valid and sophisticated

>>17806199 (OP)
The value of the currency diminished significantly, so they needed more coins more cheaply and quickly. There was no reason to pay good artists and build high-quality mints to make basically worthless coins.

Brown migration.

They adopted Germanic art styles. Basically equivalent to making your currency in anime style today.

If Rome never invaded its neighbors and formed a large empire with roads, Christianity would not have spread so rapidly. Pagan Rome destroyed pagan Europe.

>>17806685
The shift happened before Rome was even christian. The real answer is the 3rd century crises, you can already see the start of the shift in art style by Galiunus's reign.

in the republican period it was even ugly

It truly is a mystery

>>17806199 (OP)
Aesthetic tastes changed in those intervening thousand years, correlating with the Rise of Christianity. We have art made in the classical style that post dates the conversion of constsantine and such. Imo, it's still a pretty brutal condemnation of Byzantium and Christianity though.

>>17806199 (OP)
Coins got thinner and became stamped instead of art pieces - this was largely because inflafion made the old coin style too expensive to justify engraving

>>17806199 (OP)
Art style changed
The means of striking coinage changed
The people who owned said mints changed (lots of Individual lords in say, 1120 France who all had their individual right to mint coinage.
That being said, none of this stopped the Medieval era having some of, if not the, most beautiful coinage. Pic is the Augstalis from Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. just to give an example

Because of brown migration and infestation.

Evidence of your claim?

Crisis of 3rd century. Rome finally depleted the weath it accumulated by conquering its neighbours and got broke.

aren't there any normal economies that can exist without pillaging?

It happened within the span of Diocletian's rule so it really didn't have anything to do with degeneration or lack of skill, it was a deliberate choice.

make a chart showing the change of ethnicities in roman grave names side by side with the deterioration of art and you'll find the culprit.

why don't other countries do this? I suppose economies that pillage the earth last longer.

unironically this

Except Jules the apostate is 4th century. So they reverted back briefly for a moment when you had a philhellene emperor. I'd wager it was the Christian emperors were more dour Illyrians who were interested in military shit rather than classical shit, as well as just decadent retards like Honorius the chicken lover

Roman coins were really thick. Medieval ones were paper thin

>>17806321
Watsuki won. Piratefolkers lost.

Going in debt forced mint into talentless hands that just cared about stamping as much as possible as fast as possible
Talent and technology is quickly lost and next minters compare to previous generations of coinage which stops them from restoring quality (why do better if this works?)
You can see similar pattern in indo-greek coinage

>>17812901
the Julian statue you refer to is from the second century, religion had nothing to do with it
