	History 303: Isaurian, Amorian, and Macedonian Ages
		JOHN I (969-976) altered the design of the follis by replacing the imperial image with the portrait of Christ Pantocrator and the reverse inscription of "Jesus Christos King of Kings." The so-called ANONYMOUS FOLLES suffered steady debasement after 1028 as successive emperors overstruck many older coins of their predecessors.
		Romanus III (1028-34) thus overstruck worn folles of Class A2 (minted by Basil II) as folles of Class B, and then Michael IV (1034-41) overstruck those of Class A3 as folles of Class C. Such hasty recycling of old coins led to rapid deterioration of weight standards and engraving.
		Romanus I (920-944) offered a weekly allowance of 96 folles (14 folles per diem) to reformed city prostitutes taking holy orders.

		Romanus had good reason to reverse this generous policy later in his reign, for apart from the Saracen incursions the Empire suffered a series of terrible disasters in 1031-2 (famine in Asia Minor, plague, loss of crops through the ravages of locusts, a great earthquake at Constantinople).
		The funeral ceremony for the defunct Romanus, who had been laid out on a magnificent bier, was already prepared, and the whole assembly went out to pay their respects to their dead emperor in the usual fashion.

		On the Day of Orthodoxy—March 13, 1071 a.d.—the Byzantine Emperor Romanus IV led one of the largest armies that Byzantium had fielded in centuries out of Constantinople.
		For the next several years Arp Arslan and other Seljuq raiders became more bold in their assaults, sacking major shrines such as that of St. Basil in Cappadocia and in 1070 capturing Chonae, a site famed for its shrine of the archangel (which the Turks promptly turned into a stable).
		The short but sharp civil war that followed—upon his release Romanus attempted to retake his throne and pay the ransom he had negotiated with Arp Arslan—drew even more troops into battle far away at Constantinople.
