International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 1
The next International Numis-
matic Congress in Taormina our most important event is approaching fast and I hope you are all looking forward to it. The INC Committee held its annual meeting on May 20- 21 in Glasgow, thanks to the generous hospitality of the University of Glasgow and the Hunterian Museum. I am proud to report on our hard work and progress. First of all visit our newly revamped website www. inc-cin.org. Our webmaster Bernward Ziegaus with the designer Monika Sidivy of Munich have done an amazing job in giving it a much needed face lift, making it easy to navigate, and they have added many new fles and documents. You will fnd the link to the XVth International Numismatic Congress with all the necessary information for the submission of abstracts if you plan to give a paper. There apparently was some confusion about the original online forms: the abstract submission and the registration are two completely separate steps. The deadline for the frst has now been postponed to 30 November, 2014. The registration can be sent later in 2015 when all the practical information about accommodations and events will be posted. Thanks to our Treasurer, Tuukka Talvio and to the generosity of our annual Committee Meeting sponsors, our fnances are solid and we will be able to distribute 40 travel grants in the amount of 750 to young scholars. The details for applying will be posted in due time. Our income as you know comes from membership fees exclusively so I am glad to report that we approved six new applications at our meeting. We also had to terminate all memberships whose dues were in the rear for more than two years. We received six scholarship applications, all for strong and worthwhile projects: the scholarship was awarded to Dear INC members, dear colleagues and friends, Dr. Carmen Arnold-Biucchi Kathrin Siegl from the University of Vienna for her work on the medallions of the emperor Commodus. The grants- in-aid went to Dimitrios Gerothanasis from the University of Thessaloniki for his die-study of the mint of Mende, in the Chalkidike in the archaic classical period, and to George Watson from Christs College, Cambridge, for his research on the phenomenon of die-sharing in the Roman provincial mints of southern Asia Minor from the time of the Severans to Tacitus. Congratulations to all of them! Our most important decision for the future of numismatics and its methodology was to grant the INC patronage to The New Landscape of Ancient Numismatics presented by Frdrique Duyrat, Directeur du Dpartment des Monnaies at the Bibliothque Nationale de France, and Andrew Meadows, Deputy Director of The American Numismatic Society in New York. This project will greatly facilitate numismatic research and collaboration between scholars in diferent countries worldwide by linking every coin and every collection to a unique database and by standardizing the terminology. You will fnd the details below. Cari membri del CIN, cari colleghi e amici, Vi mando il mio saluto in italiano per ricordarvi che il XV o Congresso si avvicina a grande velocit.

Le istruzioni verranno messe sul nostro sito. I nostri fondi, come sapete, provengono esclusivamente dalle quote discrizione dei soci. Questanno abbiamo accolto sei nuovi membri. Daltra parte abbiamo dovuto terminare lassociazione dei membri che non hanno versato la quota da pi di due anni. Abbiamo ricevuto sei domande per la borsa di studio. Tutte le richieste presentano progetti importanti e validi: la borsa stata assegnata a Kathrin Siegl dellUniversit di Vienna per il suo studio dei medaglioni dellimperatore Commodo, I contributi vanno a Demetrios Gerathanasis dellUniversit di Thessalonica per il suo studio sulla zecca di Mende in Macedonia nellet arcaica e classica, e a George Watson di Christs College, Cambridge, per le sue ricerche sul fenomeno dei conii comuni nella monetazione provinciale dellAsia Minore del sud dallet dei Severi a Tacito. La nostra decisione pi importante per lavvenire della numismatica e della sua metodologia fu senzaltro quella di dare il patrocinio del CIN al New Landscape of Ancient Numismatics, presentato da Frdrique Duyrat, Direttrice del Dipartimento delle Monete della Biblioteca Nazionale di Francia, e da Andrew Meadows, Deputy Director dellAmerican Numismatic Society a New York. Questo progetto faciliter enormemente la ricerca e la collaborazione tra studiosi di tutto il mondo collegando ogni collezione e ogni moneta a ununica banca di dati e standardizzando la terminologia.

The Honorable Jet Bussemaker Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap Rijnstraat 50 NL-2515 XP Den Haag The Netherlands
June 18, 2014
Madam Minister,
I am writing to express my concern and that of the International Numismatic Council about the closing of the Geldmuseum in Utrecht and the layoff of most of the professional staff.
We are aware that the collections have been transferred to the Central Bank of the Netherlands in Amsterdam. The privatization of national collections without a popular consensus, however, greatly endangers the cultural heritage of the country involved. The creation of the Geldmuseum itself in 2004 was already the result of the merging of the three most important numismatic collections of the Netherlands: the Rijksmuseum, the Royal Coin Cabinet, founded in 1816, with a collection of 200,000 objects, the Dutch Mint Museum, with a collection of 60,000 objects and the numismatic collection of the Dutch Central Bank, with 140,000 objects. This was no doubt due to economic problems. But numismatic collections play a crucial role in education at all levels, from kindergarten to post doctorate studies. Children can learn the history of their country and that of many others through coins and related monetary objects. Coins are often the only documents of material culture for ancient cities and kingdoms. The collection of the Rijksmuseum is one of the famous royal collections of the world, though its size is modest. It should be available not only to scholars but to the general public. Such national treasures cannot be considered secondary or dispensable.
In addition collections need to be taken care of and the Gelmuseum had an outstanding staff of knowledgeable curators, specialists in their field, who now have lost their job. It seems shortsighted to suppress small institutions in an economic crisis. The cultural consequences can only be detrimental.
We feel compelled to urge you if at all possible to restore the Royal numismatic collection of the Netherlands as a center of research and an educational museum with the necessary staff.
Respectfully yours,
International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 4 International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 5 that could be summarized with the slogan: Dalle fotocopie ai realien: studiare la moneta e la sua storia (From photocopies to the real thing: studying money and its history). Over the years this collaboration has been in three ambits: creation of a Coin Cabinet (1), Publishing activity (2), Research and improvement of the numismatic holdings (3). 1. Coin Cabinet. In 2010, at the Department of Humanities, thanks to a convention between public and private bodies (Department of Humanities, Trieste Numismatic Club, Bernardi Numismatica srl), a Coin Cabinet was created endowed with a few thousand specimens, in part from Roman times but mainly medieval and late-medieval. A conspicuous number of auction catalogues and monographs were acquired in the same way, which were added to the numismatic-book holdings of the University Library. In February 2013, another convention with the Archeological Authority of Friuli Venezia Giulia, greatly facilitated by Luigi Fozzati and Paola Ventura, led to an exceptional increment of the numismatic collection. Around 3,500 ancient coins were received on deposit, with complete liberty of study and utilization. Their provenance, from a confscation of archaeological fnds during customs controls in the border area between Italy and Slovenia, is indicated as the Balkans without further specifcations. A rapid reconnaissance of this acquisition indicates: A probable Hoard of oboli from Abdera; Bronze Hoard [ca. Jerone II of Syracuse (3 rd century BC)] from Lodovico Brunetti Collection (1889- 1983: ca 2000 coins); Two Hoards from the times of Alexander the Great (ca. 100 tetradrachmes and some imitations); Two Hoards of second half 3 rd century (A+B = ca.1300 Roman denarii and antoniniani); Two Hoards of solidi: the frst mostly Honorius solidi [Ravenna Mint (Milan and Aquileia style, 402-406 = RIC, X, 1286] and the second of solidi from the Justin I period [Constantinople Mint]; Hoard of denarii, Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem (ca. 350 coins). There are also around ten Byzantine and Islamic seals, elements that reinforce the hypothesis of a Balkan provenance of the confscated coins. Istituto Italiano di Numismatica LIstituto Italiano di Numismatica, che ha sede in Palazzo Barberini, ha svolto in questo anno la sua normale attivit di ricerca scientifca e di promozione culturale, sia pure a costo di notevoli sforzi per superare la pesante crisi fnanziaria creata dal taglio dei fondi statali. In particolare ha orga- nizzato un incontro di studio (giugno 2014) sulla problematica delle prime emissioni argentee di Roma repubblicana, prendendo spunto dalle proposte formulate da F. Coarelli nel volume edito dallIstituto medesimo: Argentum Signatum. Ha inoltre in corso di pubblicazione due nuovi numeri della collana dedicata ai rinvenimenti da Pompei curati da R. Vitale: si tratta delle monete rinvenute nella Regio VII e di quelle provenienti dalla Regio VIII. Si aggiunger un volume dedicato da N. Parise alle Monete greche di Italia meridionale. Infne, nel rispetto della cadenza consueta, ai primi del settembre 2014 sar disponibile il vol. 59 degli Annali, che raccoglie ricerche relative alla metrologia ponderale, alla legislazione antica su pesi e monete, alla terminologia monetale nelle fonti di et classica, oltre che alla numismatica greca e romana e a rinvenimenti da scavi recenti. lIstituto, come nelle sue consuetudini, disponibile a scambiare le sue pubblicazioni - quelle su indicate e quelle precedenti con chiunque ne faccia richiesta. Un elenco aggiornato delle disponibilit nel sito: www.istitutoitalianonumismatica.it Posta elettronica: istituto@istitutoitalianonumismatica.it Department of Humanities. University of Trieste In describing the coming into being of Numismatics at Trieste, it is worth mentioning the latest initiative: the IV Giornata Triestina di Numismatica IV Trieste Day of Numismatics) (12 December 2013), organized in collaboration between the Department of Humanities of the University, the Trieste Numismatic Club and Bernardi Numismatica srl. The participants were Professors of the Humanities (Lucio Cristante), numismatists (Giovanni Gorini & Bruno Callegher), historians of Medieval Economics (Giacomo Todeschini), editors specialized in electronic publishing (Mauro Rossi of the Edizioni dellUniversit di Trieste). It emerged that the collaborative synergy between the University, Bernardi Numismatica srl and the Archeological Authority of Friuli Venezia Giulia has fostered signifcant initiatives Palazzo Barberini.

The series of Studi (Studies) include the Proceedings of the 2nd (Trieste, 29-31 August 2008) and 3rd (Rome, 23-24 September 2011) Assemani Symposium, followed by a monograph on the relations between gold and bronze money in Palestine in the Byzantine era, edited by Gabriela Bijovski, numismatic curator of the Israel Antiquities Authority. Two other studies are currently in press: on the coinage of the Cirenaica, edited by Michele Asolati of the University of Padova and the reprint of Giulio Bernardi, La monetazione del Patriarcato di Aquileia, Trieste 1975. a. The 2nd Simone Assemani Symposium on Islamic Coins, B. Callegher and A. DOttone eds., EUT Edizioni Universit di Trieste 2010. ISBN 978-88-8303-284-4. The volume gathers the Proceedings of the second International Simone Assemani Symposium on Islamic Numismatics (Trieste, 29-31 August 2008). The papers, by Italian and international scholars, deal with various domains of numismatic research covering a wide chronological and geographical range. Seals, coins from archaeological excavations, Arabic coins with Persian legends or with Chinese characters, and contributions on Islamic coin collections in Italy, are some of the themes of the ffteen papers published. These papers also examine, among other topics, the coins from Islamic and Norman Sicily, the coinage of the Mamluk and post- Ottoman conquest of Egypt and the great export of silver from Europe to Islamic lands at the beginning of the 13 th
century. b. Bijovsky, Gabriela I., Gold Coin and Small Change: Monetary Circulation in Fifth-Seventh Century Byzantine Palestine, EUT Edizioni Universit di Trieste 2012, 553 p., 24 cm; ill. ISBN 9788883034770. With an introduction by Ccile Morrisson. This very impressive book presents scholars with a comprehensive analysis of the local coinage that circulated in Palestine from the death of Arcadius until the time of the Arab conquest in the 640s. c. The 3rd Simone Assemani Symposium on Islamic Coins, B. Callegher and A. DOttone eds., EUT Edizioni Universit di Trieste 2012, 357 p. ISBN 978-88-8303-459-6. The 3rd Assemani Symposium was dedicated to the transitional period of Islamic coinage, aiming at placing in context the Umayyad numismatic materials. The bulk of the papers published in these Proceedings therefore focus on this theme, but the contributions also take into account Arab-Sasanian and Arab-Byzantine issues, as well as early Umayyad coins from various regions of Dr al- Islm (Transoxiana, Sogdiana, Libya, etc.). Other papers throw light on diferent periods and objects of numismatic interest (seals, glass stamps, history of collecting), as this Symposium was intended to be the occasion for a wide-ranging scientifc exchange on Arabic and Islamic Numismatics. The other monographs include: a. Callegher, Bruno, Ritrovamenti monetali di et romana nel Friuli Venezia Giulia. Province di Gorizia e Trieste: The coins that are without provenance and without the possibility of being traced to a hoard include 6 th century BC electrum coins, Athenian coins and coins from other Greek mints, numerous denarii and Republican and imperial Roman bronze coins issues from Roman provincial mints especially in the Balkans, medieval denari from mints active in the north-eastern area of the peninsula. The monetary documentation of the Austrian Empire is substantial. In parallel, a small medals unit was created, which assembles specimens from 19 th century Trieste alongside works by contemporary artists (Angelo Grilli and Luciano Mercante being the most represented). In fact, the whole history of ancient money and part of that of the middle ages can be taught from the lessons of the examination and direct analysis of the most famous coins that played a leading role in the world economy or illustrative of crises and reforms. 2. Publications. The study of money could not be separated from publishing on paper and in Open Access. This gave rise to a series of numismatic studies, two of which form part of the classical antiquity series of the Department of Humanities: Polymnia. Numismatica antica e medievale. Studi & Documenti (Ancient and medieval numismatics. Studies and Documents). Each publication was submitted for approval by the scientifc committee (members: Giovanni Gorini, Stefan Heidemann, Ccile Morrisson, Andrea Saccocci, Arianna DOttone, Robert Kool) and to double anonymous peer- review by recognized specialists. In the Documenti series the following have so far been published: a. Arabic Gold Coins Corpus 1 - Second revised Edition 2012. Bernardi, Giulio, EUT Edizioni Universit di Trieste 2012, 425 p. ; 30 cm ; ill. ISBN 9788883033711. (See New publications section). b. Sylloge of Islamic Coins in the Israel Museum.

Schultz, Bernardi Numismatica & EUT Edizioni Universit di Trieste 2011, 205 p. ; 30 cm ; ill. ISBN 9788885873360. The series, in seven volumes, will be published with fnancial support from Bernardi Numismatica srl in collaboration with the Edizioni dellUniversit di Trieste. (See New publications section). International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 6 International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 7 Torino) will edit Bernardo Davanzati. Lezione delle monete (1588). In 2015 it will be the turn of Gabriel Biel. Tractatus de potestate et utilitate monetarum (1516). All the publications are accessible on line, in full text/ PDF form via Open Access at: www.eut.units.it, or www. OpenStarTs. 3. Research and improvement of the numismatic holdings. After the research on the Ritrovamenti monetali di et romana nelle province di Trieste e Gorizia (Coin fnds from the Roman age in the provinces of Trieste and Gorizia), the studies were directed to the reconstruction of the entur Hoard (Maresego-Slovenia), in part dispersed but in part retrievable thanks to the discovery of unpublished documentation. The attention on the Adriatic area extended to the reappearance of bronze Byzantine money in the 10 th -11 th centuries, starting from the study of the Canne Hoard. The Assemani Symposia remain a focal point, in collaboration with our colleague Arianna dOttone, Arabist at La Sapienza-University of Rome. From 26-27 September 2014, in fact, the 4th Simone Assemani Symposium will be held in Trieste, entitled At the Beginning of Islamic Numismatics in Europe. Themes of research linked to this topic are: 1) The activity of 17 th to 19 th century scholars involved in Islamic Numismatic studies and the reasons for their involvement; 2) The exchanges of letters between scholars of the 17 th to 19 th centuries; 3) The signifcance and reliability of the frst contributions; 4) The early publications of Islamic coin descriptions, and their drawings: linguistic and graphic matters and solutions; 5) 17 th to 19 th century collections & collectors; 6) Islamic Numismatics and its place within Oriental studies; 7) Polemics and disputes (e.g. The Abate Giuseppe Vella Case); 8) Ancient fnds. The promotion of the collection, in particular of the Greek and Medieval coinage, includes the publication of the various hoards in the series Numismatica Antica e medievale. Documenti (Ancient and Medieval Numismatics. Documents). A databank is also being organized and will be implemented by the end of 2014, in Open Access. It will be sited in the home page of the University. This project has been made possible by a post-doc research grant funded by the Anna Bernetti Sblattero in memory of Giovanni Sblattero, an eminent fgure in the Trieste community. The research grant was awarded to Dr. Lorenzo Passera, who trained at the University of Udine under Prof. Andrea Saccocci: since January 2014 he has been inventorying, classifying and loading the data in the databank following the NU schedule. Perhaps all of this is not great deal, but it seems to us worth reporting to the scientifc community and something that should be continued. Bruno Callegher Trieste, EUT Edizioni Universit di Trieste 2010, 383 p.; 24 cm. ISBN 978888303286. The volume aims to gather, verify and catalogue the numismatic documentation of the provinces of Gorizia and Trieste. It is part of a wider project of cataloguing all the ancient coins found in Italy, which began in 1992 on the basis of the experience of other European countries, initiated by the University of Padova (Giovanni Gorini curator). The provinces of Gorizia and Trieste, despite forming a relatively marginal part of the X regio Venetia et Histria, are territories of great interest for the ancient coin history of the region, in that the information and data gathered here link the Italian series with the Slovenian and Croatian ones, creating yet another element for the completion of the entire X regio. b.

Vettorato eds., EUT Edizioni Universit di Trieste 2013, 171 p. ; 24 cm, ill. ISBN 9788883035203. During the past year, lastly, a project has been fnalised that originated from a conversation with Filippo Carl, today Professor of Roman History at Gutenberg University-Mainz. Ancient and medieval monetary theories were being discussed and how some of these fundamental writings were not very well known or almost never translated into Italian, accompanied by notes that put them into context and guide the study. The series Rei Nummariae Scriptores was set up to respond to this need. Directed together with Filippo Carl, it is now entrusted to the scientifc committee of Marc Bompaire, Giovanni Ceccarelli, Giovanni Gorini, Giacomo Todeschini and Andrea Saccocci. The plan is to reintroduce a scientifc and detailed evaluation on the history of money with an editorial process of use not only to economists, historians and numismatists, but also to the wider group of people interested in these subjects, ofering works of recognizable scientifc value, but also accessible to a wider public thanks to detailed historical- economic introductions and explanatory notes. The series will include texts on the nature and function of money, written in western Europe prior to 1650 ca. These will be published with the original text and an Italian translation, accompanied by appropriate notes, which will not only place the author and the work within the history and economic debate of the period, but will also link economic thinking with the authors writings, they will describe the success and the way in which they infuenced the subsequent economic policy thoughts and/or decisions. The explanatory notes, lastly, will integrate and expand the research to aid full comprehension also by the less expert reader. If the majority of the works were written in Latin and originate from the philosophical, economic and political thinking in western Europe, it is also our intention to put this production in relation with that of the Islamic world and with that in the various vernaculars.

This triennial conference, highly regarded in the numismatic world, aims to promote the study of coinage from a long-term historical perspective. Subject of this years conferences was the contrast between urban and rural contexts on the level of monetization from ancient Greece to the early Middle ages. The papers will subsequently be published in the Revue belge de Numismatique of 2015 (volume 161). The attendees and lecturers were received in the recently renovated Royal Sky Room of the Royal Library of Belgium. Subsequently they were welcomed by the director of the heritage collections, Robert Nouwen, Franois de Callata (Royal Library of Belgium, Universit libre de Bruxelles, cole Pratique des Hautes tudes, Paris) and Johan van Heesch, head of the Coin Cabinet. The frst lecture of our conference was given by Catherine Grandjean (University of Tours). She presented a study about the monetization of ancient Greek cities. The second speaker was Franois de Callata, who examined the monetary sources in the New Attic Comedy. Christian Lauwers, researcher at the Coin Cabinet, gave us an insight in the Celtic coin production in the oppida and in mobile workshops. Philippa Walton, Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, discussed the monetization of Roman Britain. The afternoon session started with a conference of Fran Stroobants, researcher at the Coin Cabinet, about the coin use at Sagalassos (modern Turkey) and its territory. The next speaker, Jean-Marc Doyen (Universit de Lille 3, Universit Libre de Bruxelles) presented a paper on coin circulation on rural settlements in Northern Gaul. The following lecture by Jean-Pierre Devroey (Universit Libre de Bruxelles), discussed the monetization during the Age of Carolingians. The last speaker of our conference was Alessia Rovelli from the University of Tuscia, Italy, who gave a lecture on rural and urban contexts in Northern Italy in the early Middle Ages. The First International Numismatic Conference The Viking Era in Eastern Europe and Numismatic Objects of the 8 th 11 th Centuries From 18 to 20 April 2014 an International Numismatic Conference dedicated to problems connected with medieval monuments complexes discovered in Eastern Europe took place in Saint-Petersburg and Staraya Ladoga. The conferences name and main area of research were determined by advanced trading communications of the region in the Middle Ages: the study of hoard and isolated fnds of dirhams, denarii and Old Russian coins, sphragistics materials, metal plastic art and objects of applied arts and crafts from pre- Mongolian epoch. Chronologically the conference dealt with the period of the establishment period of Rus as a state, i. e. the Viking Era. The venue for the academic debates the very old Russian town and frst residence of the legendary prince Rurik Staraya Ladoga contributed to this selection. Altogether 32 people from 5 countries Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Belgium and Lithuania participated in the conference and presented 33 papers. There were 7 Candidates of Science and Doctors of Science and as many employees of public museums (State Hermitage, Kurskiy, Smolensky, Staro-Ladozhskiy and Mogilevskiy), 2 numismatic experts certifed by the Ministry of Culture and quite a number of numismatists among them who summarily had produced more than 2000 papers on history and related subjects. The conference was made possible thanks to the active participation of the Staroladozhskiy Historical- Architectural and Archeological Reserve together with the Leningrad Region State Government-fnanced Cultural Institution Museum Agency, as well as sponsoring aid from the Non-Commercial Partnership Organised Archeology. The abstarcts ot the reports with a list of the papers in 284 pages were published to be distributed at the conference. Gubchevskaya L.A. Essay on Staraya Ladoga Galanov V.I.

In part, no doubt, this is due to the disparate nature of Greek numismatics, a feld which covers regions Spain to the Hindu Kush, from the Balkans to North Africa, and the period from c. 650 to 31 BC. And the problem is not new, nor confned to the digital sphere. A need has long been felt, for example, for a Typology that can provide us with a reference work for this vast mass of coinage, but the various attempts to create one in print in Germany, France and Britain have all foundered under the weight of the task. The second day of the meeting was devoted, therefore, to the questions of how far the discipline of Greek numismatics is currently digitised, what tools and resources must be created for a Typology to be possible online, and what lessons could be learnt from the recent successes in the feld of Roman numismatics. There is, of course, no need to explain the need for a Typology of Greek coinage. The utility of such a project is amply brought home by parallel works in the felds of Roman numismatics. Roman Republican Coinage (RRC), Roman Imperial Coinage (RIC), and Roman Provincial Coinage (RPC) are fundamental tools that an entire discipline relies upon on a daily basis. The classifcation of coinage by type allows us to refer unambiguously to a particular issue of a particular mint. Such references are vital to us whether we are cataloguing collections, publishing hoards or identifying site fnds. The Typology is a fundamental part of the apparatus of the study of the ancient world, not just for numismatists, but for archaeologists and historians too. The type corpora are also, in all probability, the frst works of numismatic scholarship to which the non-specialist will turn, either to situate an individual specimen within its broader numismatic context, or to obtain a full overview of the coinage of a particular place or period. We badly need the Typology, and the clear lesson from the recent successes in the Roman feld is that, with the onward march of technology, it is now possible to consider undertaking this project digitally, with all the advantages that this approach brings. For some of us, born in the age of books and paper, and still frmly committed to print publication, this may sound a daunting proposition, or at least a puzzling one. It is important, therefore, to lay out the methods and advantages of a digital project built on the principles of Linked Data, and this was a major focus of the second day of the meeting. Research programs - Work in progress The New Landscape of Ancient Numismatics Towards an Online Typology of Greek Coinage At the Bibliothque nationale de France on 25th-26th April 2014, a pair of meetings took place to survey the current state of development of digital applications for ancient numismatics. Representatives were present from 10 countries, 12 coin collections, 14 major numismatic projects, as well as members of the International Numismatic Council. The Roman World and Linked Data The morning of the frst day was devoted to resources currently being developed within the Roman feld. Projects represented ranged from type corpora (Roman Imperial Coinage, Online Roman Republican Coinage, Online Coinage of the Roman Empire, Roman Provincial Coinage) and hoard corpora (Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire Project, Coin Hoards of the Roman Republic) to fnds projects (Portable Antiquities Scheme, European Coin Finds Network). The thread that runs through the majority of these projects is their adoption of Linked Data principles that allow for the close interlinking of diferent resources through the use of common vocabularies. Linked Data is a term coined by Tim Berners-Lee and now widely used to describe a specifc method of using the World Wide Web to connect related data. More specifcally, Wikipedia defnes Linked Data as a method of publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful. It builds upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and URIs, but rather than using them to serve web pages for human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers. This enables data from diferent sources to be connected and queried. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) allows us to construct meaningful statements about things on the web that can be read by both machines and humans. However, to construct such statements about numismatic material, we need a language suitable for conveying numismatic concepts. The afternoon of the frst day was thus devoted to the need for such a language, and the role of a project established to perform precisely that function: nomisma.org. In fact, a number of the projects demonstrated in the morning were already employing elements of the nomisma.org vocabulary, and it was generally agreed that this project currently represents the most advanced attempt to create a numismatic vocabulary for use in Linked Data approaches to numismatics. As a result of the meeting, therefore, the INC has voted to grant patronage to the nomisma.org project, in that hope that it may provide a widely accepted resource for numismatic projects online. The whole frst day painted a broad panorama of the extraordinary work that is now being undertaken in the feld of Roman numismatics. Moreover, it demonstrated how diferent projects can maintain their autonomy and working practices, while at the same time producing data that can be linked to produce exciting new tools. Frdrique Duyrat and Andrew Meadows International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 14 International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 15 possibility. Online publication brings with it the possibility of simultaneous publication in multiple languages. Online Coinage of the Roman Empire, a web version of the RIC project, has now been released with a search interface available in eleven languages, in contrast to the original volumes, which are only available in English. A digital environment allows much greater fexibility in matters of co-ordination and communication, as well as in publication. Scholars working in similar areas may share their work conveniently through digital platforms. Standardisation of approach may take place as authors work together, rather than through a time-consuming editorial process at the end. And one author need not wait for anothers work to be ready before seeing publication of his or her own. Moreover, the creation of supplementary entries, or new editions of a digital Typology may proceed more swiftly and efciently. There is no need to re-edit an entire volume if one mint needs to be updated. If a reference or numbering system needs to be changed, then it can be done online, with built in cross-referencing to earlier editions. New knowledge can be made available quickly and efciently, rather than with the time lag inherent in the complete rewriting and reprinting of a reference work. As we enter the 21st century increasing amounts of the data that could only be accessed in print or by visits and autopsy are now available on the Web. Major collections, such as those of the British Museum in London, the Bode Museum in Berlin, the Bibliothque nationale in Paris and the American Numismatic Society in New York, are going online, commerce has moved there, and projects now exist to make hoard and excavation material available online. To collect this digital material and reduce it to print format makes little sense, and adds yet another layer of work. The day began by taking stock of the current state of digitisation of the major collections represented at the meeting: Presentations were made or sent in by the cabinets in Athens, Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Harvard, London, Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow, New York, Paris and Vienna. It emerged that only four of these collections have the whole of their collection digitally catalogued, and only two of those have digital images to go with all of their catalogue records. The second part of the meeting took a look at what other resources were currently available online in the feld of Greek numismatics, and what more must be built in order to make a Typology possible. Presentations were made of two projects currently under way to develop online corpora for specifc regions. Ulrike Peter presented the Berlin- Brandenburg Academys project to create a Typology for Thrace (Corpus Nummorum Thracorum) on the basis of the material collected by the Griechisches Mnzwerk project. Evi Markou spoke about the project she is about to begin to produce the Typology of the silver coinage of Cyprus (The Silver Coinage of the Kings of Cyprus). Andrew Meadows gave a brief demonstration of the project to create an online version of the Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards. Frdrique Duyrat and A.J. Gatlin addressed the need and the possibility of providing a resource to collect all coins described for sale at auction, whether in print or online. Olivier Picard gave a presentation on the potential and value of incorporating material from excavation. The third part of the day focused on the nature of a digital Typology, drawing on the lessons learnt from the Roman projects and the advantages of pursuing the project as a digital enterprise. An attempt was made to map out the constituent parts that might feed into the Online Greek Coinage Typology Working online on a project as vast as Online Greek Coinage brings numerous advantages. First and foremost it frees the project from the expense of printing and the tyranny of the binding. Publication on the web sidesteps the costs of typesetting and printing. It also allows for the publication of work as and when it is ready, without the need to wait for the completion of other pieces of work that happen to require inclusion in the same book. The implications of these two advantages are many. The publication of such reference works on the Web opens up their use to all. If control of the web resource can be placed in the hands of public or non-proft educational institutions, rather than of commercial publishers, and under an appropriate Creative Commons License, then free access can be guaranteed to any user anywhere in the world. And an international audience becomes a real Salle des commissions - Bibliothque natonale de France Rick Witchonke International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 14 International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 15 need not replace such formats as articles and books, but rather provide an enhanced means for incorporating their typology into a systematic account of Greek coinage. And fnally, on what resources can Online Greek Coinage draw for the specimens it will include? It is clearly necessary to set boundaries, so that accounts of types may achieve completion. This, for example, is the principle followed by Roman Provincial Coinage in its use of Core Collections. But for the Greek world such collections cannot be relied upon alone. It was proposed that a set of Core Collections must certainly be agreed upon, and that these should be consulted concerning their participation; but it was also agreed that more would be necessary. The hoard record must be completely absorbed; excavation coins will be crucial for the proper inclusion of bronze coinage; and the huge number of coins that have appeared in commerce cannot be ignored. Linked data projects are necessary, therefore, to establish the online presence of all of these categories of resource. Online Greek Coinage, when it comes into existence will not be a single project, but rather a network of projects including collection catalogues, hoard databases, excavation publications and material in commerce. At the same time as we build the Typology, we must encourage the creation of these resources. What next? The principal purpose of Online Greek Coinage, it should be stressed, is to provide a human and machine-readable summary of the coinage of the Greek world. It will aid in the Linking of online resources, the cataloguing of collections and new specimens, and the presentation of numismatic material in new ways and in multiple languages. It will provide multiple forms of output, including simple data downloads, as well as formatted printed text. And it will allow us to communicate the results of our research beyond the traditional confnes of our discipline. But most of all, it will constitute a resource on which we may all - curators, collectors, scholars and dealers - may draw upon for information about ancient coinage. The next step, it was widely agreed, must be to supply potential collaborators in these major projects with information on how to publish their data as Linked Data. A website (www.greekcoinage.org) is in the process of being built to serve as an information portal, both for technical aspects of the various Online Greek projects, but also for authors and editors. In time we hope to turn this into a major resource in its own right for numismatic research. At its meeting in May 2013, the International Numismatic Council recognized the importance of this new initiative in Greek numismatics by awarding its patronage both to the Online Greek Coinage initiative, and to the project to develop an online Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards. It has also voted to award the projects a grant in aid of 3000 , to begin work on the projects. The next milestone will be the International Numismatic Congress in Taormina in September 2015, where we hope to unveil major parts of the technical infrastructure and send out an international call for collaboration. Andrew Meadows Frdrique Duyrat Moreover developments in the Semantic Web now make it possible through intelligent linking of data to construct Typologies of material purely on the Web, linking to data from institutions and other owners without the need to incur cost in doing so or to repackage it. But the production of a Typology using Linked Data technology brings with it a whole new set of advantages that could not be imagined in the world of print publication. Online Greek Coinage is central to the study of Greek coinage in that provides an unambiguous way to refer to a particular type of coin or series of coinage. In this respect it potentially provides the glue that may link together the various parts of the scholarly apparatus required by the discipline of Greek numismatics. As these other resources also begin to develop a presence on the Web, then the Online Greek Coinage Typology may serve to link them together. These links make these other resources richer, but they may in turn enrich the Typology itself. Within the discipline we may bring fnds, hoards and collections together, with enhanced presentation. But we may also break coinage out of its silo and link it to resources beyond numismatics. And fnally, but perhaps most importantly, Online Greek Coinage, as a digital Typology can do more than just link data, it can also supply it. As a repository of authoritative cataloging of all known coin types it can serve as a reference tool for all who need to catalogue specimens in their collections or excavations. Just as no Librarian need ever catalogue a book from scratch, thanks to the existence of electronic library catalogues, and downloadable catalogue records, so once Online Greek Coinage exists no one need ever catalogue a coin from scratch again. But with the utility and possibility of an Online Typology established, discussion turned to the practicalities of building Online Greek Coinage. The basis for the creation of typologies for coinages will inevitably be twofold. Where existing reliable reference works exist and their authors are willing to collaborate, these existing reference systems can be adapted to the need of the Typology project. Where no such reference work exists, new research must be commissioned. Online Greek Coinage may equally beneft from the traditional workfow of scholarly study in the feld of numismatics. Authors preparing the scientifc publication of a mint, for instance, may add their catalogues of types, while still working towards the publication of a traditional article or monograph.

Il Museo di Classe costituisce di fatto il nucleo pi antico delle raccolte del Museo Nazionale di Ravenna, dove confu, nel 1895, anche la collezione numismatica Classense. Tuttavia un numero consistente di monete, circa 2900, fu lasciato in deposito presso la Biblioteca, che possiede altres un ricco patrimonio librario di carattere numismatico, in particolare spicca la presenza del fondo appartenuto a Tommaso Bertel, noto diplomatico e attivo studioso della monetazione bizantina. La collezione numismatica include principalmente monete romane ed emissioni delle zecche medievali italiane, mentre le numerose monete moderne, italiane e di altri Paesi europei, non sono successive allepoca della rivoluzione francese, poich il monastero di Classe fu soppresso nel 1798. La ricerca darchivio, costantemente afancata al lavoro sul materiale numismatico, ha consentito sinora di evidenziare che nellOttocento molte altre monete e medaglie furono aggiunte alla collezione originaria: si tratta sia di nuovi acquisti sia di donazioni private ( esemplare il caso della donazione di medaglie pontifcie da parte di Pio IX, nel 1857), ma vi sono anche monete provenienti, ad esempio, dagli scavi ferroviari di Ravenna.

Il presente progetto si propone quindi di studiare, catalogare e valorizzare questo notevole patrimonio numismatico della citt di Ravenna, ed nato nel 2012 da un rapporto di collaborazione scientifca fra lIstituzione Biblioteca Classense e il Dipartimento di Beni Culturali dellUniversit di Bologna, con sede a Ravenna. Segnaliamo che il progetto cofnanziato dalla Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Ravenna, che ha sempre generosamente sostenuto questa iniziativa. Le monete, in primis, saranno catalogate in banca dati secondo la descrizione della scheda ministeriale per la numismatica (NU). Grazie allautorizzazione concessa dallIstituto dei Beni Artistici, Culturali e Naturali della Regione Emilia-Romagna (IBC), il catalogo, ora in fase di aggiornamento, verr messo a disposizione sulla Banca dati on line dell IBC, Patrimonio culturale dellEmilia- Romagna, disponibile al sito. In una seconda fase del lavoro, prevista la realizzazione di una mostra e di un catalogo a stampa della collezione.

Andrea Gariboldi Exhibitions The other side of the medal: how Germany saw the First World War British Museum. 9 May-23 November 2014 This display examines a selection of medals made by artists who lived and worked in Germany between 1914 and 1919. There will be a programme of gallery talks about this display as well as a lunchtime lecture. Challenging and at times deliberately provocative, many of the medals were intended to infuence popular opinion against Germanys enemies. Others provide a more universal criticism about the futility of war and waste of human life. Initial enthusiasm for the First World War quickly descended into horror at its scale and brutality. Refecting upon this, numerous artists revived the medieval Dance of Death motif to present an almost apocalyptic view of the confict. On these medals, Death stalks the battlefeld, sea and sky, hacking down soldiers, sinking ships or manipulating giant Zeppelin airships. The fgure becomes an active malevolent presence and indiscriminate force of destruction. Medal artists also embraced Expressionism to explore the psychological efects of war, distorting reality to convey mood and emotion. Vulnerable stick-like fgures become dominated by giant war machines in scenes that strip humanity of its individualism. German medallists International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 16 International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 17 were also keen to consider the collateral efects of war, depicting refugees displaced by invasion or people starving as a result of food shortages. This showed the totality of the First World War in a way that eluded most contemporary medals made in Allied countries. Due to their use of pro-German propaganda, wartime Britain regarded these medals with outrage. Despite this, the British Museum was highly proactive in acquiring them, realising their signifcance as historical documents. A century on, this display of medals from the collection ofers a fresh perspective to our understanding of life and death during the First World War. Cyprus Banknotes. Environment-History-Folk Art. Their iconography through the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation Collections May 2014 - June 2015 On Friday, 16 May 2014, the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation opened the periodical exhibition Cyprus Banknotes. Environment-History-Folk Art. Their iconography through the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation Collections. The exhibition is organised by the Museum of the History of Cypriot Coinage and the Bank of Cyprus Historical Archive. The exhibition presents a selection of landmarks from 1914, which marked the frst issue of a Cypriot banknote by the British, to 1955. It goes on to explore more extensively the iconography of the series of banknotes of the Republic of Cyprus issued from 1961 to 1997, pivoting around the environment, History and Folk Art of Cyprus. The aim is to open up routes connecting the iconography of banknotes of the Republic of Cyprus to items from the Collections of the Cultural Foundation, namely the Ethnographic Collection, the Numismatic Collection, the Map Collection, the Collection of Manuscripts and Rare Books, and the Collection of Engravings, Old Photographs and Watercolours. This year marks the 100 th anniversary of the 1914 issue of the frst British colonial banknote of Cyprus. In terms of their themes, British banknotes feature portraits of En- glish reigning kings as well as emblems, such as the coat of arms depict- ing the two lions of King Richard the Lionheart, who conquered Cyprus during the Third Cru- sade in 1191. Even though a map of Cyprus does appear for the frst time on banknotes of Queen Elis- abeth II, Cypri- ot themes are generally absent from the design of the frst banknotes issued by the British during the reigns of George V (1910-1936), George VI (1936-1952) and Elisa- beth II (1952 onwards). Four stamps issued in 1938 during the reign of George VI were used in 1942 in the form of emergency currency and for stamping documents. These stamps, worth , 1, 3, and 4 piastres, depict archaeological sites and monuments of Cyprus. The series of banknotes of the Republic of Cyprus issued from 1961 to 1997 draw their themes from the islands rich history and art, as well as from its natural environment. The texts accompanying the representations on the banknotes are intended to bring out the islands historical and artistic background, the wealth of its fauna and fora, unique on several occasions, as well as the mineral riches of our homeland. The banknotes of the Republic of Cyprus were in circulation until the euro banknotes were introduced in 2008. The exhibition texts are in Greek and in English and it is also accompanied by a catalogue under the same title, again in Greek and in English.

En esta nueva ordenacin, las colecciones numismticas se exhiben con dos criterios diferentes. Por un lado, el rea monogrfca La moneda, algo ms que dinero propone un recorrido temtico, enfocado a mostrar la singularidad de la moneda como la forma de dinero ms reconocible y perdurable a lo largo del tiempo. A travs de escogidos ejemplos, se explican distintos aspectos conceptuales, simblicos y prcticos vinculados a la moneda, desde sus diversos usos o el proceso de fabricacin, hasta los elementos formales que la convierten en medio de expresin del poder que la acua, fuente para la Historia y la Arqueologa, objeto de prestigio a imitar o inspiracin para el Arte. La exposicin muestra tambin otros objetos y materiales que entran dentro del mbito numismtico, como el dinero tradicional, los sistemas ponderales, las cajas de cambistas o el papel moneda, presentando las circunstancias histricas y sociales en las que se inscriben. Para terminar, una serie de vitrinas y recursos museogrfcos se centran en la Numismtica como disciplina cientfca, sealando cmo abordar el estudio de las monedas y cmo extraer de ellas toda la informacin que aportan. Por otra parte, las piezas numismticas se integran en el amplio itinerario cronolgico del Museo que recorre la Historia de Espaa, as como en las reas dedicadas a Egipto y Grecia. En coordinacin con cada uno de los departamentos responsables, se tom la decisin de refejar no slo los sistemas monetarios de cada momento, sino tambin de utilizar las monedas, medallas, sellos y matrices como los documentos arqueolgicos que son, insertndolos dentro de su contexto histrico y de uso. Con la misma intencin, las piezas ms conocidas de la coleccin el cuaternin de Augusto, la gran dobla de Pedro I, el centn de Felipe IV- han encontrado su sitio en la poca a la que pertenecen, como parte esencial del Patrimonio Cultural que representan.

Ross Collection From February 25, 2014 Main Exhibition Gallery of Firestone Library. Princeton University. In celebration of the two-hundredth anniversary of Latin Americas wars of independence, the Princeton University Library has mounted a dramatic display of medals and orders that illustrate the recognitions awarded to soldiers and civilians in the form of wearable insignia. The exhibition features hundreds of Latin American decorations, ranging from a plain silver medal awarded to an ofcer of the Buenos Aires armed forces that freed Montevideo from Spanish colonial rule in 1814, to Guatemalas highest award given to foreign presidents, the Collar of the Order of the Quetzal with its Mayan motifs, to a gilt example of the Cuban Order of Che Guevara, awarded for assistance to Latin Americas James Mudie, Historical and Critcal Account of a Grand Series of Natonal Medals, Londres, 1820 Sala La fabricacin de moneda.

Unlike the United States, which has generally avoided the award and wearing of medals as a vestige of European royal practice, the Spanish-, Portuguese-, and French- speaking nations of the New World have embraced such displays as tangible expressions of appreciation for the eforts of their soldiers and citizens. Miguel Angel Centeno, Professor of Sociology and International Afairs and Chair of Princetons Department of Sociology, writes in his introduction to the exhibition catalogue, These medals and orders allow us a unique perspective on the development of Latin American states and the qualities they have chosen to represent and reward. On Sunday, April 13, at 3 p.m., Professor Centeno gave a public lecture on the ideals exemplifed by the pieces in the exhibition. The lecture in McCormick Hall 101 was preceded by a curatorial tour of the exhibition at 1:30 p.m. and followed by a reception in the Main Gallery. Additional curatorial tours took place on Friday, February 28, and Thursday, May 29, at 3 p.m. The exhibition is based on the collection assembled by Robert L. Ross, a retired investment banker who worked throughout his career to improve living standards in Latin America as the best way to promote democratic rule and civil society. Ross has donated his medals to the Princeton University Numismatic Collection for study, research, and teaching purposes in support of the Universitys Program in Latin American Studies. This gift has made Princetons holdings the worlds most comprehensive collection of Latin American orders and medals. From a Thankful Nation traces the development of Latin American medals from their origins in the emblems of medieval crusading knights and the Spanish, Portuguese, and French royal and imperial orders through the revolutionary battles and the building of republics throughout the region. The use of medals as part of the governing strategies of dictatorial caudillos and adventuring flibusters is illustrated by such pieces as the pearl-adorned example of the Grand Cross badge of the Juan Pablo Duarte Order of the Dominican Republic that the dictator Rafael Trujillo, as grand master of the order, awarded to himself. While tracing the awards to common soldiers and laborers, the exhibition is most eye-catching with the display of no fewer than ten examples of Collars, the highest grade of an order (usually reserved for heads of state), as well as seventy Grand Cross sets, most replete with brightly colored silk sashes enameled gilt badges, and breast stars. The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalogue written by Ross and Princetons Curator of Numismatics, Alan Stahl. In 736 pages of text and with 969 color photographs, it sets all of the ofcial medals of each country in their historical context. The catalogue is for sale from the Library for $125; inquiries should be directed to loliveir@princeton.edu. The exhibition is also documented in a fully illustrated website: http://rbsc. princeton.edu/thankful-nation/. From a Thankful Nation runs from February 25 through August 3 and is open to the public without charge on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Further information is available from Princetons Curator of Numismatics, Alan Stahl, astahl@princeton.edu, (609) 258-9127.

April 2015 Die neue Wechselausstellung des Mnzkabinetts Winterthur prsentiert rund 60 Medaillen aus einer bedeutenden Schweizer Privatsammlung und aus dem eigenen Fundus. Zu sehen sind Werke der besten Medailleure der italienischen Renaissance wie Pisanello, Fiorentino, Matteo de Pasti, Sperandio, Lysippus oder Giovanni Bold. Die Kultur der Renaissance in Italien ist in unserer Wahrnehmung bis heu- te durch starke Bilder beeinfusst; sie gilt als Epoche des Umbruchs und einer Neubesin- nung im Geiste des Humanismus. Zwei Elemente gelten als prgend: Die Herausbildung des Menschen als Individuum und der folgenreiche Rckgrif auf Werte, Figuren und sthetik der Antike als Traditionsanker der Kultur. Auf der italienischen Halbinsel mit ihrer Mi- schung aus Reichtum und einer vielgestaltigen politischen Landschaft gab es zahlreiche Frstenhfe, die in der Spannung zwischen Macht und Kunst, krie- gerischer Grausam- keit und verfeiner- ter hfscher Kultur lebten. Die Stdte entwickelten eine enorme politische wie wirtschaftliche Dyna- mik. In diesem Umfeld ent- stand eine neue Kunst- form, die Medaille. Als portables Kleinkunst- werk, das in der Hand liegt, in kleiner Aufage hergestellt wird und dauerhaft ist, erfllte die Medaille den Wunsch nach kleinen Momenten der Ewigkeit auf hervorragende Weise. In den Darstellungen begegnete das Flchtige dem Unsterblichen. Die Medaille versprach fama (Ruhm) und memoria (Gedenken). Als Objekte, die nicht dem Warentausch dienten, waren Medaillen die perfekte Gabe: Sie wurden im Freundes- und Familienkreis verteilt, Gsten gewidmet und auch gesammelt. In Bauten wurden Medaillen als Grundsteingaben fr die Ewigkeit deponiert. Medaillen waren auf Grund ihrer Grsse auch besonders fr Historias en miniatura. Nuestras primeras monedas 16 July 12 October Museu de Prehistria de Valncia The temporary exhibition Historias en miniatura. Nues- tras primeras monedas (Stories in miniature. Our frst coins) was inaugurated in Valencia on 16 July in the Mu- seu de Prehistria de Valncia. The exhibition includes a selection of Greek, Punic, Hispano-Carthaginian, Iberian, Celtiberian and Roman Provincial coins minted in the Iberian Peninsu- la. It shows the public the latest numismatic acquisitions by the Mu- seum, including some coins purchased from the former collection of the Hispanic Society of America. The collection is pre- sented through an edu- cational assembly in- tended for a wide au- dience. An interactive question and answer game challenges the visitor to discover the most important secrets of these coins. Show- cases with short texts, drawings and ques- tions invite to refect on various subjects of the ancient coinages of the Iberian Peninsula. We invite you to down- load the catalogue of the exhibition and to play an amazing online quiz game on ancient Iberian coins.

Mai 2014 - 5. Oktober 2014 Der Bildhauer, Kupferstecher und Medailleur Hubertus von Pilgrim, Jahrgang 1931, ist von humanistisch- literarischer Bildung geprgt, sie ist fr seine Persnlichkeit und fr seine Kunst konstitutiv. Er fand in Persnlichkeiten der Geschichte und des Geistes Gesprchspartner und eine knstlerische Herausforderung. So entstand auf Medaillen wie in der Plastik eine eindrucksvolle Portrtgalerie, begleitet von einer intensiven geistigen Auseinandersetzung mit Leben und Werk. Zur Medaille ist Hubertus von Pilgrim erst spt gekommen. Erst 1984 hat er, der sich selbst einmal als Hauer und Stecher bezeichnete, durch einen Auftrag zu dieser kleinen Sonderform des Reliefs gefunden. Seitdem reizt ihn das Wechselspiel zwischen Miniatur und Monument, wie er es selbst genannt hat, und so entstanden auch raumgreifende Monumente auf der Grundlage von Medaillen wie der Ludwig-Erhard- Brunnen in Bad Godesberg. Ebenso reizt den Knstler das Wechselspiel von Bild und Schrift in der Form einer prgnanten, in eine kalligraphische Form gebrachten sprachlichen Aussage. Die Ausstellung zeigt berhmte und andere Kpfe, darunter eine neu entstandene monumentale Reliefwand mit Portrts und Zitaten von Schriftstellern. Weitere Arbeiten runden die Ausstellung ab, so Kupferstiche, die chinesische Dichtung ins Bild setzen, plastische Werke mit der Darstellung von greren Menschengruppen, und Medaillen, die Zitate und Sprichwrter in eine adquate reliefplastische Form bringen.

November 2014) Zurck aus Wien Die goldene Winterthurer Ju- bilumsmedaille von 1864, Mnzkabinett der Stadt Winterthur (bis 30. November) Zwei der bedeutendsten Schwei- zer Knstler des 19. Jahr- hunderts auf dem Gebiet der Graveurskunst und des Steinschnitts waren Winterthurer. Johann Aberli (17741851) und sein Sohn, Fried- rich Aberli (1800 1872), arbeiteten als Medailleure eng zusammen und waren herausragende Siegel- stecher und Steinschnei- der. Im Zusammenhang mit der Ausstellung HOME GROWN des Muse- ums Oskar Reinhart er- gab sich fr das Mnz- kabinett Winterthur zum ersten Mal die Gele- genheit einer Retro- spektive, die das ganze Oeuvre der beiden Aberli mit ingesamt 30 Me- daillen, mehre- ren Mnzen und gegen 1200 Sie- gelstempel in Halb- edelsteinen und Metall umfasst. Die Ausstellung ist ein Bei- trag des Mnzkabinetts zum Jubilum Winter- thur750. Sie gibt Ein- blick in die Entstehung der Medaillen vom Entwurf bis zur Ausfhrung, zeichnet die Biographie der beiden Knstler im Zeitkontext nach und zeigt eine Auswahl aus der grssten Werkgruppe, den Siegeln. Das Werk der beiden Aberli besteht ausschliesslich aus Auftragsarbeiten. Der Stil der Medaillen wurde beeinfusst durch ihre reiche Erfahrung mit Siegeln und geschnittenen Steinen. Vater und Sohn Aberli bildeten ihre besondere Fhigkeit, das kleine Rund der Medaille mit feinsten Elementen elegant zu nutzen, bei der Gravur von Halbedelsteinen fr Siegelringe hchster Qualitt aus. Eine zweite Ausstellung im Mnzkabinett ist ein weiterer Beitrag zum Jubilum Winterthur750. 1864 feierte Winterthur mit grossem Aufwand das 600-Jahr-Jubilum der Verleihung des Stadtrechts durch Rudolf von Habsburg im Jahr 1264. Die Stadt hatte das Bedrfnis, mit dem Blick in die Vergangenheit eine usserst dynamische Gegenwart in die Grndungsgeschichte des Gemeinwesens einzubetten. Zur Erinnerung wurde eine Medaille geprgt. Ihr Schpfer war Friedrich Aberli. Nur ein Exemplar der Medaille wurde in Gold hergestellt. Es diente als Geschenk fr den Nachfahren Rudolfs von Habsburg, Kaiser Franz Joseph I. von Habsburg-sterreich. Heute wird diese einzigartige Medaille im Kunsthistorischen Museum Wien aufbewahrt. Zum Jubilum Winterthur750 kehrt dieses Stck wieder nach Winterthur zurck. Fr das Geschenk aus Winterthur revanchierte sich der Kaiser 1864 mit einem opulenten Gegengeschenk, einem Buch mit Ansichten aus gypten. Das Prachtswerk ist ein Zeugnis fr die Orientbegeisterung der Zeit. Es ist mit einem kostbaren Einband versehen und wurde im selben Jahr in Winterthur und im Bundeshaus in Bern stolz ausgestellt. Das Buch, das von den Winterthurer Bibliotheken gehtet wird, ist ebenfalls im Mnzkabinett zu sehen.

CEN. Bruxelles. The Journal of Archaeological Numismatics (JAN) is a new periodical published by the Centre Europen dEtudes Nu- mismatiques (CEN) in Bruxelles. Its aims is to bring together archaeology and numismat- ics, two disciplines that are too often viewed as very dif- ferent despite their obvious links. The journal is a tool which aims to be a forum allowing archaeologists, numisma- tists and specialists in other auxiliary disciplines aware of these problems to come together to compare their data systematically. Bring- ing together information un- der the same roof will enable readers - archaeologists, numismatists, ceramicists, economists and historians - to appreciate the impor- tance of interpretation, for all relevant information can be included in the same piece of work.

The third group of objects in our online catalogue is the Dupont collection of 1.385 bas-reliefs, acquired by the King Baudouin Foundation and deposited in the Coin Cabinet. These are metal plaquettes, sometimes of considerable size, and date between 1870 and 1930. They represent the artwork of 137 artists and medal manufacturers. A fourth group that is available online covers our siege coins. These are made of silver, copper, but also lead, tin and even cardboard. They are an important witness of the numerous wars and sieges in the Netherlands between the 16 th and the early 19 th century. 360 objects can be consulted in the database. The fifth online dataset is the Lefbure collection, a series of more than 8.800 decorations and medals, all made during the First World War. More than 5.000 decorations have already been digitalized. The aim is to make the whole collection accessible by 2017. The digitization of our collections continues every day. A large number of objects is in process of being digitalised and/or published in our database, such as the coins of Lige from the 10 th century until 1792, a large collection of late Roman nummi from Alexandria, Egypt, Roman Republican and Roman Julio-Claudian coins. To research our database, it is important to know what keywords to use in the different fields. If you want to consult the religious medals on the French page, you have to insert the keywords mdailles religieuses in the field type dobjet. The same applies to the siege coins, where you insert the keywords monnaie obsidionale and the Belgian medals, with the keyword mdaille. That way, you will only search in the specified type of objects, and not the whole catalogue.

This book is the frst comprehensive study of the monetary history of one of the major coin- producing states of the Hellenistic and Roman Aegean. It analyzes the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman coinages of the Cycladic island of Paros. It presents a die study of all known silver and bronze issues, and argues that Paros and its neighbor Naxos minted in the Hellenistic Period not on the Rhodian standard as has sometimes been thought, but on their own distinct standard: the island standard. All coin types are fully described, and die varieties are illustrated in 27 plates. S.

Sulla base delle evidenze raccolte, sembra infatti che i gruppi umani che occupavano questo territorio, prevalentemente Indigeni di etnia sicana, ma anche genti di altra provenienza e, dal IV secolo a.C., soprattutto nuclei di origine mercenariale, non emisero moneta, se non episodicamente, e tardarono ad acquisire una vera e propria cultura monetaria. Nonostante, a partire dallultimo venticinquennio del V secolo a. C., le monete si difusero in modo sempre pi ampio in questo territorio, infatti pare che tali comunit non compresero mai appieno loriginaria struttura di questo strumento di scambio, espressione propria della cultura greca, e rimasero legate al consolidato uso del metallo a peso nelle transazioni, continuando a considerare la moneta alla stregua di un oggetto o di un pezzo di metallo.

The frst Supplement was published in 1998 and covered much new material that had appeared for the Julio- Claudian period between the date of the frst publication of RPC I in 1992 and 1997. The second reprinting - in 2006 - of RPC I was the occasion to publish also a second Supplement to RPC. This new Supplement, Supplement 3, includes new material from 2005 to 2013, and covers the Julio-Claudian period (RPC I), the Flavian period (RPC II) as well as the coinages of Gordian I to Gordian III struck in the province of Asia (RPC VII, 1). The material has been ar- ranged in three sequential parts, the frst covering RPC I, the second covering RPC II and the third RPC VII, 1. The decision to publish the second Supplement on-line rather than as a book was taken for three reasons: frst of all, it was easier; second it improved access for schol- ars, collectors, museum curators and other users; and thirdly, an electronic version was easier to search. The idea was well received, so the third Supplement is pub- lished the same way. Of course, we all know the difculty of searching trough a Supplement, needless to say 3 Supplements!

The majority of these coins were donated to the Museum by the late Paul Balog. The Israel Mu- seum is proud to continue Balogs legacy by making his rich coin collection available to the public. The adoption of the Sylloge format, organized by indi- vidual mints, is best suited to the needs of scholars of political and monetary his- tory. The Egyptian series is by far the strongest in Ba- logs collection, and one of the largest of its kind. Ap- propriately, the Mamlk mints of Egypt were chosen to be the subject of the frst volume of the series. The curators of the Sylloge are Stefan Heidemann, Hamburg University and Haim Gitler, Archaeology and Numismatic Curator of Israel Museum.

To commemorate the event, the city commissioned a lavish festival book, entitled the Pompa Introitus Ferdinandi (1641), which contains learned commen- taries by Jan Gaspar Gevaerts, a city ofcial and Latinist, as well as folio engravings by Theodoor van Thulden af- ter Rubenss stages. More than a simple description of the event, Gevaerts volume ofers a rich com- pilation of references to ancient writers and repro- ductions of ancient coins. While most literature on the subject has focused on Rubenss nine mon- umental arches and his twelve preparatory oil sketches for the designs, this volume will examine the entry and its accom- panying festival book as a whole. A group of highly distinguished specialists from diferent disciplines will dis- cuss the entry and Gevaerts book from a myriad of view- points, including art, architecture, music, theater, history, politics, classical knowledge, and economic and intellectual networks. It is the frst time that the entry will be examined from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. The book draws on a wide variety of primary sources, including Rubenss preparatory oil sketches, Gevaerts festival book, pamphlets describing the entry, and political songs from the period. Julio J. RAMN SNCHEZ, El tresor de Sant Joan dAlacant, Alicante: MARQ - Museo Arqueolgico de Alicante, 2013, 151 pp. ISBN 978-84-15327-36-3. En este libro se estudia el tesoro hallado el ao 1963 en una casa de Sant Joan dAlacant, compuesto por 501 monedas de oro y plata acuadas entre los aos 1708 y 1823, siendo las monedas emitidas en esta ltima fecha las que datan su ocultacin. Se recogen las circunstancias del hallazgo, el recorrido que sigui hasta el MARQ-Museo Arqueolgico de Alicante y los trmites realizados por las administraciones implica- das. Los datos recopila- dos permiten identifcar a su propietario, Antonio Quereda Chpuli, y es- bozar su contexto socio- econmico: el ao 1784 trabajaba como criado y el 1803 como jornalero, lo que coincide con la conclusin extrada del anlisis numismtico del conjunto, que muestra determinadas singulari- dades que indican que su propietario debi trabajar como jornalero. La ocultacin se relacio- na con la inestabilidad generada en la comarca de lAlacant tras la intervencin del ejrcito francs cono- cido como los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis, que junto a los realistas espaoles repuso a Fernando VII como monarca absoluto y produjo el fnal del Trienio Liberal. En este clima Paolo EVANGELISTI, Francesc Eiximenis. Il Dodicesimo Libro del Cristiano; capp. 139-152 e 193-197, EUT Edizioni Universit di Trieste 2013, pp. 244. ISBN 978-88- 8303-524-1. The book ofers for the frst time in Italian translation the thoughts in old Catalan of the mid-14 th century Catalan Franciscan friar. The status of money, considered as an institution of the community, is focused upon by an expert on voluntary pov- erty: Francesc Eiximenis, a Franciscan friar. The analysis on the nature, character and function of money produces some relevant results, especially from a political viewpoint. Who exercises the sovereignty, control of the value and circulation of money? Which kinds of relations are estab- lished between princeps/ruler, community and money? Maiestas, supremacy are princely features, princely char- acters or are they prerogatives of money that is instituted, created for change and justice in the polis? Which juridical apparatus, which political and institutional form can operate to preserve the peculiar value of money: its stability? These questions touch on many as- pects of what will become the economic thinking during the Early modern period and also the dogmatic thought about money, starting from the texts written by Copernic, Bodin and Locke; but it is clear that money, not conceived as a mere coin, assumes a more important role: it becomes the object by which it is possible to think about the same con- cept of power and sovereignty. Besides these topics, where institutional and political ex- periences of Italian cities are observed with deep interest, another notable matter comes to light summarized in one key-question written by the Fri- ar himself: How is it possible to use money to achieve a large, difused and communitarian wealth? Eiximenis deals with all these issues, placing them within the European de- bate on these subjects. The Franciscan doesnt use Latin for this work: he writes in Catalan vernacular. A language that is read and written by people living in the territories of the Crown extending from Valencia to Palermo, from Barcelona to Sardinia, with important settlements on the eastern and southern Mediterranean coasts. The arguments discussed in these chapters are also remarkable because they were inserted in the Twelfth Book of Christian, a work of civic and political education addressed to the rulers of realms and cities that were forming one of the most important political and economic entities fourishing in Europe between the 13 th
and 15 th centuries. Anna C. KNAAP and Michael C. J. PUTNAM, Eds., Art, Music and Spectacle in the Age of Rubens.

The diary of Leonard Wyon 1853-1867, London: British Numismatic Society, 2014. ISBN 978 1 907427 32 9. The diary that he kept from 1853 to 1867 throws light on many of Wyons most important works: ofcial commissions, including the famous bun penny of Queen Victoria, coins destined for India, Australia and Canada, campaign medals awarded for service in the various mid nineteenth-century military and naval actions in which Britain was engaged, and the prize medal for the 1862 International Exhibition. Other medals were commissioned by the Queen herself, as well as by a broad range of learned societies, academic institutions, commercial concerns and private individuals. In this way Wyon came into direct personal contact with such notable fgures of his time as Prince Albert and Henry Cole, the architect Joseph Paxton and the painter Daniel Maclise. Wyons diary also chronicles the more personal aspects of his daily life and domestic arrangements, revealing the ways in which he and his extensive family occupied their leisure hours and documenting such activities as his visits to exhibitions and his opinions on the works of art he saw, his shopping excursions in London, his holidays in Britain and abroad, and most importantly in Wyons view the religious services he attended and the philanthropic ventures that, as an Evangelical Christian, he saw it as his duty to support.

EUT Edizioni Universit di Trieste, 2013, 171 p., ill. ISBN 9788883035203. After a frst revival of the medallist Luciano Mercante (1902- 1982) on the occasion of the exhibition Novecento in Medaglia (20 th Century in Medals) (Padova 2005), the Civic Museums of that city now propose an anthology of the sculp- tor-medallists work, which this volume accompanies. The monograph constitutes a critical and philological point of reference, illustrating Mer- cantes entire artistic career. It emerges, that after a frst period during which he tried his hand at portrait sculpture according to the typical forms of the 1930s-40s, he then opted for artistic medals and plaques. The iconographical subjects were original and the purpose of his works was in- novative, created only in a few cases as commissions, more often as an expression of choice and personal thoughts.

Personalia British Art Medal Society honours Andrew Burnett A medal produced for BAMS commemorates the invaluable contribution made by Dr Andrew Burnett to the British Museum as Keeper of Coins and Medals (1992-2002) and Deputy Director (2002-2013). Andrew began his career at the Museum in 1974 and over the years has gained an international reputation for his work on Roman coins and his many numismatic publications. He was formerly President of the International Numismatic Commission (1997-2003) and of the Roman Society (2008-2012), and is now President of the Royal Numismatic Society. He was appointed a CBE by the Queen in the New Years Honours of 2012 and an Honorary Professor of University College London in 2013. The medal, cast in bronze and measuring 84mm. in diameter, is by young British artist Abigail Burt. Its reverse depicts the British Museums Enlightenment Gallery, in acknowledgment of Andrews leading role in its creation. An ancient coin hoard spills from a shelf to form a tree of knowledge, in which appear three coins with a special meaning for Andrew: two early Roman Republican coins and a Roman provincial coin representative of his current major research project. A column and pediment allude to the British Museum and the classical tradition, whilst the Latin edge inscription is an adaptation by Andrew of a line from Virgil: not happy is he who has come to know the rural gods but happy is he who has come to know Roman coins.

This year, the IAPN held the ceremony on January 19 th , 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. The IAPN honoured Ronachai Krisadaolarn and Vasilijs Mihailovs for their ground breaking work on Thailand Siamese Coins from Funan to the Fifth Reign. Their book has already become the standard reference in the feld of Thai coinage. The book is not only exceptionally well done, but also flls an important gap in this feld. The last major reference on the subject was written some 80 years ago by Reginald Le May, The Coinage of Siam, Siam Society, 1932. This new publication takes Thai coinage to another level of scholary research. Krisadaolarn and Mihailovs work began with lectures given by Ronachai Krisadaolarn at the National Museum of Thailand in Bangkok in the 1980s and 1990s. With over 2000 illustrations in the text and another 1000 on an attached CD, this is the frst ever book in English about Thai coins and the several types of money used by the various ethnic populations in this area. It covers the period from the earliest types of money, both monetiform and in other forms such as shells and various types of ingots used in what is now Thailand. It also includes the introduction of the baht currency system, a system based on divisions of eight (the octuple system), both in the form of pot duang Vasilijs Mihailovs (left); IAPN member and Thai coinage expert Jan Olav Aamlid (center); Ronachai Krisadaolarn (right) at the award ceremony in Bangkok. Mihailovs and Krisadaolarn are displaying their IAPN Book Prize Medals and fat coins, and the beginnings of the present day decimal coinage. It describes the development of Thai money as a continuous economic-historical development with excerpts from a variety of sources, including the Sukhothai inscriptions, the royal chronicles of Ayutthaya, the records of individual Dutch, French and Portuguese travelers and unpublished documents from the Royal Archives. A unique feature of this publication and the enclosed DVD are high resolution photographs of over 1,000 specimens of the coins and other forms of money including photographs from the National Museum and leading private collections that have circulated in Siam and its tributary states up to the Fifth Reign. This work includes an extensive study of the metallic composition of most specimens conducted either by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) tests and/or Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) tests to determine the exact chemical composition of the coins. The book also discusses the diagnostic features of genuine coins along with those of known counterfeits and how to detect them. The acknowledgements cite many major collections, museums and institutions that mmade their collections available: the Bank of Thailand Museum, the National Museum of Thailand and the Royal Thai Mint Museum to name just a few.

Quittant le Luxembourg et des amis fdles Roman Probst et Raymond Weiller il sinstalle Londres de 1958 1962 et travaille chez Sea- by. Il rejoindra ensuite la banque Leu et, en 1977, fonde successivement deux maisons de vente, en partenariat, Spink-Taisei, puis Hess-Divo, quil abandonne fn 2001 pour prendre sa retraite. Il quitte alors galement la prsidence de lAssociation Internationale des Numis- mates Professionnels, la tte de laquelle il avait t lu en 1997, aprs en avoir t le secrtaire et lditeur de son Bulletin durant prs de 20 ans. Paralllement ses activi- ts professionnelles, il me- nait de front une activit de chercheur, publiant sans relche, monographies et articles, dont il serait trop long de donner la liste, depuis Die Taler der Schweiz en 1966 jusqu une Numismatique de Thann quil na mal- heureusement pas vu paratre. Aprs 2001, vivant entre Pozzo (Tessin) et Paris, mari en secondes noces avec Franoise Page, qui partageait sa passion, Jean-Paul a eu plus de temps pour travailler au Cabinet des mdailles, dont il a publi le Catalogue International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 30 International Numismatic e-Newletter 17 | July 2014 | 31 Georges Le Rider (27/1/1928 - 3/7/2014) The numismatic community and the International Nu- mismatic Council mourn the pass- ing of the great scholar Georges Le Rider in Givors (Rhne) on July 3 rd . He was one of the most outstanding scholars of ancient Greek numismatics of our time, Pre- sident of the INC (1973-1979) and Honorary Member since 1986. He was also the kindest and most generous of colleagues. An obituary will be published in Compte Rendu 61 (2014). Carmen Arnold-Biucchi (President of the INC) des monnaies suisses (RSN 2007). Son livre sur les Mdailles de Louis XV, crit en collaboration avec son pouse, donne galement une large part aux collections du Cabinet. Nous avions plaisir nous retrouver au Grand Colbert, mais je voudrais voquer le djeuner chez Clmentine quil avait organis en mon honneur pour ma retraite en novembre 2013. Il tait dj afaibli, mais ce tmoignage destime et damiti quil avait souhait mofrir est le dernier souvenir que je garde de lui, celui dun homme passionn, curieux de tout, aimable, dont le sourire et lrudition nous manquent. Michel Amandry Michel Prieur (1955-2014) La disparition prmature de Michel Prieur laisse un grand vide dans le paysage numismatique franais et international. Prsident de la socit cgb.fr, dont lactivit dbordante ne lui valait pas que des amitis, il tait fru de tout, mais je ne voudrais voquer ici que sa passion pour les ttradrachmes syro-phniciens. Cest comme cela que nous nous sommes connus et nous avons en 1987 co-sign un article Nouvel apport ltude des ttradrachmes svriens de Laodice paru dans la RBN. La possibilit de travailler sur la collection du Cabinet des mdailles, que je lui avais fait connatre, a men son ouvrage de rfrence, A type corpus of the Syro- Phoenician tetradrachms and their fractions from 57 BC to AD 253 (CNG, Lancaster et Londres, 2000). La base de donnes impressionnante quil nourrissait constamment tait la disposition des chercheurs et jai une dette immense envers lui, car, sans cet outil, je naurais pas pu raliser dtude de coins des ttradrachmes de Trajan et dHadrien frapps en Cilicie et Antioche pour le Roman Provincial Coinage III ( paratre, 2015). Michel pestait volontiers contre la lenteur des scientifques publier leur matriel et son grand regret est de navoir jamais pu avoir accs au trsor de Mampsis, dcouvert en 1966, fort de 10321 pices, dont 8275 ttradrachmes, pour la plupart svriens. Mais force est de constater quil avait raison, car prs de 50 ans aprs, cette publication na toujours pas vu le jour ! La mise en ligne par cgb.fr de cette base sera un bel hommage sa mmoire.
