Description
The
Burji
(Tower)
Mamluks
ruled
Egypt
for
nearly
150
years
,
centering
their
power
in a
towered
citadel
. They are also
called
“Circassian”
Mamlukes
because
the
group
originated
in the
Caucuses
.
Slaughter
,
rapine
, and
heavy
taxation
dominated
the
Burji
period
. The
Burji
dinar
is
adjusted
from the
weight
of the
Byzantine
solidus
, to
match
that of the
Venetian
ducat
, the
prevalent
gold
trade
coin
of the
day
.
