Ancient coin legends: composition, design, lexicography, and framing potential
Munich, Residenz (Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities)
26–28 June 2025
hybrid
Registration deadline: 15 June 2025
The conference shall shed light on the communicative dynamics of ancient coins legends – in their interdependency with imagery and material qualities of the coins – and place them in an interdisciplinary field of media studies, philological & historical approaches, numismatics, archaeology (material aspects) and iconography/design analysis. We consider coin legends to be a promising, yet so far never comprehensively explored starting point for new research questions regarding lexical, semantic, aesthetic and socio-cultural aspects.
By discussing the manifold dimensions of ancient coin legends in the wider Mediterranean region, we will not only cope with the multimodal character of coins in dynamic communication processes, but also allow particularly for an interdisciplinary exchange and new perspectives on ancient coin production and reception.
