"Coins and Identity"
The Friends of Numismatics invites submissions for papers for the 2009
American Philological Association/Archaeological Institute of America
annual meetings, January 8-11, 2009, in Philadelphia, PA, on the
topic of coins and identity.

What did a coin mean to the person arranging its creation? What did it mean
to a person using the coin? What did it mean to a person hoarding or
collecting the coin? Papers should focus on coins of the Greek and Roman
worlds, in order to place them within the contexts of coin types and
iconography, their use of congruence in types or metrology, or their place
in collections of ancient coins or hoards.

Please submit an abstract of a maximum of 250 words to
Karen Manning
Dept of Ancient and Byzantine Art and Numismatics
Harvard University Art Museums
32 Quincy St
Cambridge, MA 02138
Phone 617-495-3393
Fax 617-495-5506

The abstracts will be evaluated anonymously by at least two reviewers.
Since the Friends of Numismatics sponsors a joint panel of the APA and AIA,
submitters must be members in good standing of only one of these
organizations.
