Summer School on Ancient Greek and Roman Numismatics

The Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation, a leading establishment for the study of Greek history (ancient, medieval, and modern) at an international level, organises annual ten-day intensive Summer Schools on Ancient Greek and Roman Numismatics. The Summer Schools on Ancient Greek and Roman Numismatics aim at those who have little or no background in the discipline of numismatics by offering a series of introductory courses, visits to major numismatic collections in Athens, as well as guided visits to archaeological sites in Athens and Attica. The courses provide a chronological survey of ancient Greek and Roman coinage (from the pre-monetary period down to Roman times), combined with lectures on numismatic methodology, as well as other specialised topics. The lecturers are researchers at the hosting institution (Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation), and experts in Greek and Roman numismatics from universities in Greece and abroad, while each year a distinguished visiting scholar is invited to develop a special topic. The Summer School on Ancient Greek and Roman Numismatics is addressed to undergraduates, postgraduate students, and PhD candidates in History, Archaeology, and Art History, to historians and archaeologists, but also to individuals with a special interest in numismatics. The number of participants is limited. The participants will be selected by a Scientific Committee following a thorough assessment of the application and the CV of the candidates. Courses are taught in English. All participants will receive a certificate of participation.
