An inept commander, he pursued the retreating Turkish army too far away from his base camp—a tactical blunder of historic proportions—and wound up getting routed near a provincial town called Manzikert. As a result, the Seljuks conquered much of Anatolia. They named this new territory Rûm, for Rome. Not long after, the Seljuks took Jerusalem, a conquest that inspired Pope Urban II to call for the First Crusade. The Sultanate of Rûm endured until the early 14th century. This silver dirham, issued from 1219-83, is larger than contemporary Crusader coins, and more intricate in its design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhoto notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e Representative stock photos may be used.
