Newman Graduate Summer Seminar in Numismatics June 6 through July 29, 2011 For over half a century, The American Numismatic Society has offered select graduate students and junior faculty the opportu- nity to work hands-on with one of the world’s preeminent numismatic collections. With over three-quarters of a million objects, the collection is particularly strong in Greek, Roman, Islamic, and Far Eastern coinages, as well as Medallic Art. The rigorous eight-week course, taught by ANS staff, guest lecturers, and a Visiting Scholar, introduces students to the methods, theories, and history of the discipline. In addition to the lecture program, students will select a numismatic research topic and, utilizing ANS resources, write a paper during the Seminar. The Seminar is intended to provide students of History, Art History, Textual Studies, and Archeology who have little or no numismatic background with a working knowledge of a body of evidence that is often overlooked and poorly understood. Successful applicants are typically doctoral candidates or junior faculty in a related discipline, but MA candidates are admitted as well. This year’s Visiting Scholar will be Dr. David Wigg-Wolf, Researcher at the Römisch-Germanische Kommission of the German Archeological Institute. Dr. Wigg-Wolf is well known for his research and publications on the Iron Age and Roman coinages of Northern Europe. Applications are due no later than February 11, 2011. A limited number of stipends of up to $4000 are available to US citizens, and non-US citizens studying at US institutions under J-1 visas. For application forms and further information, please see the Summer Seminar page of our website: www.numismatics.org/Seminar or contact the Seminar Co-Director, Richard Witschonke, at [email protected] Dumbarton Oaks, Washington DC, USA Dumbarton Oaks fourth summer program on Byzantine numismatics and sigillography July 5–29, 2011 The program will be under the direction of Dr. Cécile Morrisson, Advisor for Byzantine Numismatics, Dr Eric McGeer, Advisor for Byzantine Sigillography and Dr. Vivien Prigent (CNRS). Admission requirements Applicants must be a doctoral student or junior faculty member in some area of Byzantine Studies. Candidates should have a reading knowledge of French and German and have completed two years of college level Classical Greek (or its equivalent). Course offerings in numismatics and sigillography Several seminar meetings and workshops will cover the basics of the two disciplines, reading, dating and cataloging of seals and coins and the use of coins and seals as evidence for Byzantine literary, political, economic and art history. In separate workshop sessions students will be instructed how to read Byzantine coins, date them and write a catalog entry. Students will present to the group a pre-determined research topic or a group of coins or seals which they will have transcribed and dated by their own efforts. Special topics, such as digital imagery, construction of maps, statistical treatment and databases will also be examined. Accommodation and expenses Successful candidates will receive free housing and breakfast, in addition to lunch on weekdays. They are, however, res- ponsible for their own transportation costs. Application procedure Applicants must send a letter by January 15, 2011, to Margaret Mullett, Director of Byzantine Studies at Dumbarton Oaks (1703 32nd St., NW, Washington, DC 20007), describing their academic background and listing specific reasons for wishing to be included in the summer program. All applicants should include a curriculum vitae; doctoral candidates should arrange for the sending of a transcript of their graduate school record. Two letters of recommendation should be sent separately, at least one of them from a faculty member who has instructed the candidate in an area of Byzantine studies. Selection criteria will include a demonstrated need for the seminar and the candidates’ present and future research projects. For further information, write Margaret Mullett [email protected] or Cécile Morrisson [email protected]. See also http://www.doaks.org (Byzantine Studies).

Fast genau 20 Jahre hat Wolfgang Hahn die Geschicke des Instituts bestimmt, über mehrere neue Universitätsgesetze hinweg und durch andere Reformen hindurch, die die Möglichkeiten numismatischer Studien in Wien manchmal ernsthaft in Frage stellten.

  • No. 218 James E. Mcclellan III, Old Regime France and Its Jetons
    H-France Review Vol. 20 (December 2020), No. 218 James E. McClellan III, Old Regime France and its Jetons: Pointillist History and Numismatics. New York: American Numismatic Society, 2020. xiii + 268 pp. $100.00 U.S. (hb). ISBN 978- 089722-362-1. Review by Jeffrey S. Ravel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Every Monday morning at eleven o’clock for most of the eighteenth century, the members of the Comédie-Française acting troupe were supposed to assemble to deliberate on their artistic and financial affairs. The actors and actresses, many of whom had little enthusiasm for administration (not unlike academics today), needed extra motivation, which the Comédie provided in the form of jetons d’assemblée. These were tokens worth three livres up to 1757 and six livres thereafter. In one six-year period, from 1755 to 1761, the company spent an average of 5,870 livres per year to bribe its members to attend the weekly assembly.[1] I suspect that most Old Regime specialists reading this review will have a similar passing acquaintance with the usage of jetons in various institutional settings. Jean le Rond d’Alembert, for example, famously developed a reputation as a jetonnier, or a mercenary who only showed up at sessions of the Académie française to collect his attendance tokens. One of the great merits of the new book by James E. McLellan III, however, is to make clear the surprising ubiquity of jetons in Bourbon France. From the halls of Versailles to the assemblies of provincial estates to the meetings of royal academies and trade guilds, jetons were everywhere.

  • Black Currency of Middle Ages and Case for Complementary Currency
    Journal of Risk and Financial Management Article Black Currency of Middle Ages and Case for Complementary Currency Pezhwak Kokabian Department of Economics, Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA 91711, USA; [email protected] Received: 16 March 2020; Accepted: 2 June 2020; Published: 3 June 2020 Abstract: Monetary historians argue that two types of currencies were circulating in the middle ages of Europe. The first was the standard historical form of money made up of gold and silver coins, and the second was a set of small pieces of copper and other metallic substances used mainly in towns and townships for local trade as currency. Jetton and tokens are monetized objects that are not official currencies; they were of lower quality of the inferior metallic object, which were used for day-to-day transaction needs. The drive for local monetary decentralization is pointed to build up fiscal autonomy and responsible local monetary institutions. This paper reasons that the monetary regime of the Renaissance was a real and genuine trimetallic currency regime. Keywords: the second currency; complementary currency; middle ages currency; counter-cyclicality; barter 1. Introduction There are several narratives of the historical origins of currency. The majority of economists make a factual error when they equate the origin of money with the history and origins of coinage (Innes 1913), whether we acknowledge that economic history has been eliminated from the curriculums of the majority of western economic departments programs. While the history of currency and coinage may overlap in some periods in the history of humankind, even then, it is a historical fact that money predates coin minting by more than 3000 years.
