SUMMARY:Boxes\, Banks\, Bags\, and Bones: Carrying and Storing Money in Ancient Rome
DESCRIPTION:About the lecture: \nHow did the Romans carry\, store\, and save their money? This talk surveys the archaeological evidence for the wallets\, purses\, bags\, boxes\, and chests in which the ancient Romans placed their coined money at home and on the go. From reused cooking pots to bronze arm purses and ceramic “piggybanks\,” we will explore what the methods and means of containing coined money reveal about Roman daily life\, religious practice\, and the social and cultural norms around the function of physical currency in the ancient world. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Robyn Le Blanc\, Assistant Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Studies and Archaeology at UNC Greensboro\, specializes in the archaeology and coinage of the Roman provinces. Her current research explores how Roman colonies used their coinages to negotiate a local identity. She is also developing a project on Roman money boxes. In 2021-2022 Dr. Le Blanc was the Kershaw Lecturer in Near East Archaeology for the Archaeological Institute of America\, and she has recently given invited talks for the American Numismatic Society and the Oxford Numismatic Society. She has participated in excavations in Israel\, England\, and Montenegro\, and she is co-director of WIRE: Women in the Roman East (see more at wireproject.org).
