| Aanvullende informatie |
Michael IV the Paphlagonian came to power through his brother John the Orphanotrophos, who engineered his marriage to Empress Zoë after the death of Romanos III — a death widely suspected to be murder, with Michael himself implicated. Despite his origins as a money-changer's son, Michael proved a capable if sickly ruler, suffering from severe epilepsy throughout his reign. His coins were struck to the still-reliable nomisma standard before the catastrophic debasements that would hollow out Byzantine gold in the following decades.
