From Solidus to Stavraton: Coinage and Money in the Byzantine World, Princeton University and Zoom, April 26–28, 2024
To celebrate the acquisition of the collections of Peter Donald and Chris and Helen Theodotou Princeton University Library is organizing the conference "From Solidus to Stavraton: Coinage and Money in the Byzantine World."
During the first two days, a total of 22 academics will present their updated research to colleagues, scholars, students, and members of the general public.
The last day will be dedicated to a workshop that will aim at bringing the scholars together and finalize the Linked-Open-Data database of Byzantine coinage. This platform, established with the Nomisma ontology, is an international collaborative project, created to provide stable digital representations of numismatic concepts according to the principles of Linked Open Data, while maintaining formalized RDF Ontologies. It will become a vital tool for consultation by scholars, numismatists and general public around the world. Furthermore, the tool will be open to institutions from different countries, enabling them to contribute their evidence to the database.
