The Crab Supernova in Europe: Byzantine coins and Macbeth (1995)

unapi

Description “This paper examines the claim that the Crab Supernova is depicted as a pair of stars on certain Byzantine gold coins. Unfortunately, this suggestion is not supported by documentary evidence and it suffers from several problems...An alternative hypothesis is proposed, where the star pair was a propaganda symbol associated with the Great Schism.”
