New project explores the origins of money

November 18, 2020

The CHANGE Project is led by Professor Andrew Meadows, a Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History at New College and former Curator of Greek Coins at the British Museum. 'Anatolia is where coinage begins as a monetary medium in the world, and this project will explore those origins and how it developed over time,' says Professor Meadows. We hope to generate a new account of the beginning of coinage and its rise as a monetary medium.' 'This will allow a parallel exploration of monetary behaviour across objects and text,' says Professor Meadows. Professor Meadows hopes the model used in CHANGE will be replicated more widely.
