What’s the deal about coins? How do I read them? What can I do with them? Join us for an introductory coin-handing session at the Heberden Coin Room, where Jerome Mairat demonstrates how we can read coins and how this information can be useful to us. The session includes looking at a few case studies so everyone will have a chance to read and decipher coins!
This event should interest you if:
• you don’t know much about numismatics, but are curious to find out more about its charms and/or its usefulness to research;
• you are doing a course (e.g. History and Joint Schools, Classics, Anthropology etc.) that may require you to come into contact with numismatics, or would like to do research related to numismatics;
• you want to find out more about the Ashmolean’s resources, how the museum may assist you with research or your interest in coins, and how you may access its archives.
