These gold coins, which were brought to the Diyarbakır Archaeological Museum and are preserved in its coin section, are referred to as the Melik Ahmet Street Hoard. This hoard contains 394 gold coins: 2 Fatimid, 1 Great Seljuk, and 391 Byzantine. The 391 histamena nomismata in the hoard are dated to the second half of the eleventh century, to the reigns of the emperors Romanus III Argyrus, Constantine IX Monomachus, and Michael VII Ducas. Based on a detailed iconographic study, we offer sub-variations for Classes Ib.1, Ib.2, Ic.1, and Ic.2 of Romanus III Argyrus. In addition, two histamena nomismata, which belong to the reigns of emperors Romanus III Arygrus and Michael VII Ducas, differ from existing classifications and are presented as new subtypes
