CLAS 321 Numismatic Workshop
In this class, students will work on Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and other ancient coins in the University's numismatic collections. On average, about 1 hour per week will be spent in formal instruction and about 2 hours per week in hands-on research. Tasks will include the physical description and measurement of coins, consultation of reference tools, both paper and on-line, entry of data into an electronic database, and research into the historical context of selected coins. Final reports will consist of the full description of a defined group of coins, with accompanying electronic data, and an oral and written summary of the work accomplished. Projects will be assigned on the basis of student knowledge and interest.
