Can't believe that we missed #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay! A few days late, here's a little owl who's over 2 thousand years old on a #Greek #coin made in Athens and now @ROMtoronto. #numismatics #Classicstwitter #Museums
More #Greek #coins! #museums #numismatics #ClassicsTwitter
How much is this teeny-tiny ancient Greek coin worth? Ben Akrigg (Associate Professor, @UofT) talks about how the Greek monetary system worked during the Late Archaic/Early Classical Period, around two and a half thousand years ago.
Wish we had one of these in @ROMtoronto's collection! This #Greek #coin from 5th century BCE Athens @metmuseum is a dekadrachm, worth 10 drachmas. We have some tetradrachms (worth 4 drachmas), but nothing this big. #numismatics #Classicstwitter #museums
Can you spot Helios, the sun god, driving his 4-horsed chariot on this #Greek #coin from Athens? Look for the sun rays and horse heads. It was a symbol of the Athenian magistrates who minted the coin in 119/118 BCE. Happy #solstice2024! #museums #numismatics #ClassicsTwitter
The amount of detail on this 2nd century BCE #Greek #coin of the Seleucid ruler Alexander I is amazing! Just look at the feathers on this striding regal eagle. All so clear, even before cleaning. #Classicstwitter #numismatics #museums
Et pourtant, elle tourne... Hypnotisé😵💫 par le décadrachme athénien rotatif💫 au musée #numismatics d'#Athènes

Happy #InternationalMuseumDay! To celebrate this year’s theme, “Museums for Education and Research,” we’d like to share @ROMkomma, a joint project with @UofT. How do we determine the coin types of ancient Greek coins? Kate Cooper (Assistant Prof. @UofT Scarborough) shows us.
This #coin of Seleukid king Antiochos III shows Apollo sitting on the 'omphalos' from the sanctuary at Delphi. In #Greek #Myth this was the stone that the Titan Kronos was tricked into swallowing believing it was his son the baby Zeus! #ClassicsTwitter #numismatics #museums
Are you a UK based student or do you know one who would like to learn more about coins and museum practice? The Bristish Numismatic Society offers funded placements. We're currently advertising one at The Hunterian, Glasgow. Applications close 6th May. britnumsoc.org/the-society/fu…
Thanks to @marina_coins and @nicklegalleries and the Calgary Numismatic Society for a warm welcome and an excellent symposium about all things money! events.ucalgary.ca/nickle-galleri… #numismatics #Museums #Greek #coins #ClassicsTwitter
Looking forward to talking about #Greek #coins and the ROMkomma project at the @nicklegalleries symposium in Calgary this weekend, thanks to @marina_coins! events.ucalgary.ca/nickle-galleri… #numismatics #ClassicsTwitter #Museums
Want to see some 'space age' technology (literally!!) that ROM used back in the 1970s to display coins? More detail in this talk x.com/ROMkomma/statu… and a blog post coming soon... #Greek #coins #numismatics #ClassicsTwitter #Museums #Conservation
What a beautiful #horse! We've been looking at the Seleucid #Greek bronze #coins @ROMtoronto and found this nice example made by Antiochos III about 198 BC. #numismatics #museums #ClassicsTwitter
To celebrate the #IdesOfMarch here are my favourite #Roman #coins... @ROMtoronto's coin of Julius Caesar minted in early 44BC and @FitzMuseum_UK coin of Brutus celebrating the assassination of Caesar in March of that year! #museums #numismatics #ClassicsTwitter
To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay here's a #coin with Tyche, the female #Greek personification of Luck, who looked after the fortunes of the city. She wears a crown representing the turrets and fortifications on the city walls. #museum #numismatics #ClassicsTwitter
The talk about #Greek #coins and #museums and the ROMkomma project that I gave @AIAtoronto is now available online here aiatoronto.ca/video-lectures. Thanks to @AIAtoronto and @ArchCentreUofT for the invitation! #Classictwitter #numismatics
The coolest visual wall @BoCMuseum i could play all day! #numismatics @UCalgaryLibrary
A brief glimpse of how to read an Athenian #Greek #coin... Thanks to @ROMtoronto social media team! #Classicstwitter #museums #numismatics #archaeology @UofTClassics @UTSCHCS
