欧亚草原丝路与沙漠绿洲丝路上发掘的拜占庭钱币研究述论

Review on the Research of the Byzantine Coins Excavated fromthe Eurasian Steppe Silk Road and the Desert Oasis Route of Silk Road

2011年，在蒙古国布尔干省巴彦诺尔发掘的突厥壁画墓中出土了41枚金银币。其中，金币37枚，银币4枚，可判定为拜占庭时期的金币及其仿制品的为25枚。据学者们推断，该墓葬为东突厥汗国时期遗存⑨。通过以往的研究可知，这是第一次有如此大批量的拜占庭金币及其仿制品在东亚地区被发现，因此，备受研究者的关注。

As the convincing evidence, the Byzantine coins discovered along the Silk Road strongly prove that the Byzantine empire kept close interactions and communications with the ethnic groups on the Eurasian Steppe during the period of 6th-9th century. In 2011, a number of gold and silver coins of Byzantine and Sassanian as well as their imitations were found in the Shoroon Bumbagar tomb in Baiannuur stun of Mongolia. It is the largest discovery of the Byzantine coins and their imitations in East Asia, which had been paid intensive attention by scholars. A particular study on them is of great academic and realistic significance. Since the Turks used to be active on the Eurasian Steppe and the desert oasis routes of the Silk Road, analyses and reviews on the discoveries of the Byzantine coins and their imitations along those routes will promote the study of the Turks tomb of Baiannuur sum and provide valuable references and evidences.
