On October 19, 2024, the American Numismatic Society (ANS) welcomed over sixty members and visitors to its headquarters in New York City for the 167th Annual Meeting of the ANS. Following the meeting, the 2024 Archer M. Huntington Award for Excellence in Numismatic Scholarship was presented to Dr. William E. Metcalf, who provided the Silvia Mani Hurter Memorial Lecture on "The Making of Roman Provincial Coinage (X)."
The Annual Meeting featured presentations from ANS officers and staff on accomplishments from the last fiscal year, and the election of a new class of trustees. Attendees enjoyed viewing new acquisitions to the collection on display, including items generously donated to the coin cabinet and library in the last year. The ANS would like to congratulate the newly elected Fellows, Dr. Andrew M. Burnett, Dr. James E. McClellan, and Dr. Roberta Stewart.
Following the Annual Meeting and a reception, guests gathered for the 2024 Archer M. Huntington Award to Dr. William E. Metcalf. After opening remarks from Dr. Ute Wartenberg, Executive Director, Dr. Andrew M. Burnett, ANS Second Vice President, presented the prestigious award to Metcalf, noting his tremendous contributions to Roman and Byzantine numismatics. Metcalf provided the Silvia Mani Hurter Memorial Lecture, "The Making of Roman Provincial Coinage (X)," on the last volume of his project, which provides a standard typology of the provincial coinage of the Roman Empire. Metcalf detailed the background of the project, demonstrating how coins are referenced in this essential resource in an online database.
