Uncover the captivating story of money's origins and evolution with the pioneering CHANGE project! This ambitious initiative, led by Andrew Meadows (New College Oxford, former British Museum Greek Coins Curator), explores the cultural dissemination of coinage across ancient cities, empires, and kingdoms.
Leveraging cutting-edge Linked Open Data technology, the project is assembling an extensive database of approximately 50,000 ancient coins from prestigious institutions like the Münzkabinett and British Museum. For the first time, digital methodologies are being employed to study the monetary economy of ancient Anatolia, the recognized birthplace of coinage.
The CHANGE project aims to rewrite the narrative of currency's inception and rise, providing fundamental insights into Anatolia's economic history. It perfectly exemplifies the synergy of traditional research with Digital Humanities tools, building upon initiatives like Nomisma.
