Even with his stated expenses (swimming pools, saunas etc) his bills are 36,000 dirham, 15 times what you'd expect in part because energy is very cheap in an oil producing country.

Viking Age brooch, Gotland
Given the huge volumes of Islamic dirham coins reaching Gotland, there's a good chance the silver is derived from this source.
What's more, the terminal design may be influenced by the cubo-octahedral bullion weights likely used to weigh dirhams!

A veces las cosas no son lo que parecen. El dirham es una moneda de plata islámica que circuló mucho entre el siglo VIII y XII. El de la imagen es una copia casi perfecta, pero probablemente lo acuñó la Rus de Kiev en lo que hoy es Ucrania. La cruz lo delata.

1276 years ago, on the 25th of January 750, the Abbasid defeated the Umayyad in the battle of the Zab. The last Umayyad leader, Marwan II, fled and died in august of the same year. This battle marked a turning point in the demise of the Umayyad Caliphate and rise of the Abbasid. #otd #history 🗃️
