Περιγραφή:	This study, featured in a pedagogical resource guide, explores the dual significance of gold in the Byzantine world, examining its role as both a medium of economic exchange and a powerful spiritual symbol. Merianos bridges the gap between material history and art history by analyzing how gold functioned simultaneously in the pockets of citizens as the stable nomisma and on the walls of churches in the form of icons and mosaics. The work highlights that in Byzantium, gold was not merely a display of secular wealth but a theological tool used to represent the uncreated Divine Light, creating a transcendental space for the faithful.
