III. Alexios, also known as Alexios Angelos, was the emperor of Byzantium from 1195 to 1203. During his reign, the coinage and the economy underwent significant changes. During his time, the Byzantine monetary system gradually declined and the economic difficulties of the empire became more and more typical.
