The quiz:::::::
Artifacts
Using this website ----> http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/byza/hd_byza.htm#thumbnails
You will be creating a timeline that plots the Early, Middle and Late Byzantine empires (and their dates)
[e.g. Early Byzantine Empire ran from approximately 330 - 700 AD and had many controversies.]
You will then be responsible for mapping 8 examples of artifacts on your timeline and providing a one sentence explanation for what its use was. (eg The coin was from 780 AD and was used in economic transactions)
See my example.
