Byzantine Empire, Constantine VII and Romanus I, 17 December 920 - 16 December 944 A.D.
This type was also struck on a smaller flan (DOC III, part 2, 33). Theme of Cherson was a Byzantine military-civilian province located in the southern Crimea, headquartered at Chersonesus Taurica. The theme was officially established in the early 830s and was an important center of Black Sea commerce. Despite the destruction of the city of Cherson in the 980s, the theme recovered and prospered, enduring until it became a part of the Empire of Trebizond after the dissolution of the Byzantine Empire in 1204.
