2005 November: Numismatics Event
On November 7, 2005, the UARK Classics Department, the UARK Classics Club (Beta Pi Chapter of Eta Sigma Phi), and the Walton College of Business Honors Program presented an event entitled: CRESCIT AMOR NUMMI: The use and Abuse of Coinage in Ancient Greece and Rome. The lecture was preceded by a demonstration of the striking of coins in the ancient world. The Gallery Mint, from Eureka Springs, Arkansas, drew attention with its expert (modified) representation of coin-making and gave away free samples of ancient coins made of pewter. The lecture, conducted by Dr. Eric Kondratieff of Temple University was fascinating and was replete with stunning examples of ancient coins and coin-making diagrams. After the lecture, another demonstration was offered at Ella's, where refreshments were served, and the public was able to speak with our guests [Photos]
