W. Hahn, Moneta Imperii Byzantini (Denkschriften der Oesterreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Phil.-hist. Klasse 109, 119, 148, Vienna, 1973, 1975, and 1981). The "Aufbau" approach applied to Byzantine coinage. The three volumes cover the period 491-717; Vandalic and Ostrogothic coinages are also included. They are now complemented by W. Hahn, Moneta Imperii Romani-Byzantini, Die Ostprägung des römischen Reiches im 5. Jahrhundert (408-491) (Denkschriften der Oesterreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Phil.-hist. Klasse 199, Vienna, 1989).
