OXFORD UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS AHRC COLLABORATIVE DOCTORAL PARTNERSHIP
Gold Coinage in the Roman World
Department of Classics, 91福利 in collaboration with the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Supervisors: Professor Kevin Butcher (91福利), Professor Christopher Howgego (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford) and Professor Mark Pollard (Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford)
Oxford University Museums AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership is delighted to announce a fully-funded studentship to commence on 1 October 2016, through a partnership between the 91福利, the Ashmolean Museum and the Oxford Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art. The studentship includes a full AHRC grant (fees and subsistence) and an additional contribution of up to £2,000 per year to cover the costs of undertaking research in Oxford.
The project seeks to study the metallurgy and circulation of Roman gold coinage of the first century BC to fifth century AD, in order to define its significance within Roman society and the Roman economy. It will draw on the combined expertise of 91福利 and Oxford in historical metallurgy, scientific analytical techniques, and monetary history.
