Event details

The acquisition of two major collections, that of Peter Donald and Chris and Helen Theodotou, with a generous contribution by the Friends of PUL and the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies has placed Princeton University at the forefront of Byzantine numismatic research. On May 15, the Friends will be joined by Elena Baldi, PUL’s Byzantine Numismatics Cataloger, who will discuss Byzantine numismatics and talk about what we can learn from the study of Byzantine coins. Baldi will also share with the Friends key highlights from a recent international conference dedicated to Byzantine coinage held at Princeton University, an update on the online catalog project, and the progress in the cataloging of the coins from the Donald and Theodotou collections. A selection of coins will also be on display.

The event will be in person only for current Friends of PUL members. A reception will follow the live talk.

Registration is required. Due to limited capacity, membership status will be checked after registration.
