GREEK AND ROMAN NUMISMATICS SUMMER SCHOOLBob Leonard passed along this announcement from the National Hellenic Research Foundation in Athens, Greece. Thanks. -Editor
The Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation is pleased to announce the organisation of its second Summer School on Ancient Greek and Roman Numismatics, to take place at its premises in Athens, from 2 to 11 July 2018. The courses will provide a chronological survey of ancient Greek and Roman coinage (from the invention of coinage to the Roman period), combined with special lectures on numismatic methodology, such as the study of coin hoards, metrology, iconography and online resources. Practical sessions will take place at the NHRF premises and in museums. The Summer School on Numismatics is addressed to undergraduates, postgraduate students and PhD candidates in History, Archaeology and Art History, to historians and archaeologists, but also to individuals with a special interest in numismatics. Further information on the Summer School can be found on its website: IHR/NHRF 2018 Summer School on Ancient Greek and Roman Numismatics Bob adds: There are a number of summer courses on numismatics like this, but this is the first I have seen in many years that is open to mere coin collectors and not just graduate students. In 1984 a friend of mine and I attended a similar one-week school at the University of London, with one day at the British Museum, and benefited greatly from it (one thing I learned improved the second edition of California Pioneer Fractional Gold over 15 years later).
