Channel: American Numismatic Society
Date: 2024-03-11

Lucia Carbone, ANS Andrew M. Burnett Associate Curator of Roman Numismatics, will discuss her new two-volume publication Local Coinages in a Roman World—now at the printer! The volumes catalog the Richard B. Witschonke collection, showcasing 3,727 coins that hold great historical and numismatic value and provide a critical prologue to the study of Roman provincial coinage. Carbone will focus on the coinage issued in the Eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, and will discuss Syrian posthumous Philippi, Thracian, Macedonian and Athenian tetradrachms (including unique overstrikes), Asian, Cilician, and Cretan cistophori. She will also address the enigmatic “Fleet Coinage” and the coinages issued by Antony and Cleopatra in the East.
