ANCIENT GEMS AND THEIR CONNECTION TO COINSA lecture at the American Numismatic Society in New York next month will cover the topic of ancient engraved gems. -Editor
This lecture will give an overview of the study of ancient engraved gems and their relationship to coins. Various engraving techniques and materials will be discussed, placing these precious objects in their historical and political settings. Pawel Golyzniak works as a Research Fellow in the Institute of Archaeology, Jagiellonian University in Krakow. His research interests include engraved gems (ancient and neo-classical), Roman Republican and Augustan numismatics, history of antiquarianism, collecting and scholarship as well as 18th century drawings of intaglios and cameos and the legacy of antiquary and connoisseur Philipp von Stosch (1691-1757). RSVP to Emma Pratte at membership@numismatics.org My own introduction to ancient gems came on my visit to Sir John Soane's museum in London in 2007. These engraved works are delightful. -Editor To read the earlier E-Sylum article, see:
