ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book demonstrates the strong influence that had the Shroud in the Byzantine period up to the fall of Constantinople in AD 1204, showing that the coins minted from the seventh century onwards are a clear proof of the existence of the Shroud in the Byzantine period. The numerous collectors of Byzantine coins depicting the face of Christ will therefore be interested in not only having a numismatic analysis of these coins but also a historical-religious analysis evidencing the veiled references to the Shroud in the details shown in the coins. The numismatic and art history analysis will have to be completed and reviewed by experts in the sector in order to discuss and confirm the innovative declarations contained.
