Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Annette Haug (Kiel University), Dr. Ulrike Peter (BBAW), and Prof. Dr. Bernhard Weisser (Coin Cabinet, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin), the project encompasses four core objectives:
1) Publishing Greek coins from the Numismatic Collection, Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz: This work highlights the object-historical dimension of numismatic iconography. With 114,845 items, the collection ranks among the most significant worldwide.
2) Developing an Image Thesaurus: The Thesaurus Iconographicus Nummorum Graecorum is based on Linked Open Data, employs persistent identifiers and standardized exchange formats, and enables context-sensitive analysis of ancient visual language.
3) Creating digital infrastructure and AI tools: These tools integrate the various communicative and contextual aspects of coins and facilitate their analysis.
4) In-depth analysis of selected topics: The collection will be examined in relation to key visual and cultural-historical questions.
