Course Content (Syllabus)
Coins comprise an essential tool for archaeologists and historians in interpreting the past. Officially produced by various authorities in large quantities, they have been the main form of money in many societies for more than twenty-five centuries. The images and inscriptions on their surfaces are particularly enlightening to the history, ideology, religion and art of the societies that issued and handled them. The metals used for their manufacture, their weight and size as well as their provenance, provide a wealth of information on the study of economies about which there is few or no written evidence. The course focuses on the evolution of coinage and its role in ancient Macedonia. It examines various issues on coin production, iconography and circulation in Macedonia from the Archaic to the Hellenistic and Republican period. Furthermore, it aims at familiarising the students with the methodology and tools of Numismatics –the study of coins and coin-formed objects– as well as with the function of coins as archaeological artefacts and important tool for dating archaeological sites and strata.
