The coin issues from the historical territory of Thrace are known for their great diversity. The conference planned to discuss the current state of numismatic research on Thrace and to examine the opportunities offered by a cooperative assemblage of coins in the digital age. The occasion of the conference was to introduce the project CNT – Corpus Nummorum Thracorum – to the specialists for the numismatics of Thrace and especially its new portal www.corpus-nummorum.eu, which is collecting all Thracian coins worldwide and putting them into context.
Prior to the Conference 'Thrace - local coinage and regional identity: Numismatic research in the digital age' a meeting of the curators of Greek coins took place in the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften to report on the status quo of digitization of the several institutions and to discuss options of collaboration in the future.
Abstracts of the talks and program of the conference now online! Conference in Berlin, April 15th to 17th 2015. The coin issues from the historical territory of Thrace are known for their great diversity. In 2013 we began a research project on these various coinages. In our conference we plan to discuss the current state of numismatic research on Thrace and examine the opportunities offered by a cooperative compilation of coins in the digital age. The Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Berlin Coin Cabinet thus cordially invite you to Berlin.

Antike Münzen stellen bis heute das umfangreichste Quellenmaterial dar, das uns jene Epoche überliefert hat. Sie waren seit jeher ein Informationsmedium par excellence, insbesondere in der Antike, als andere Nachrichtenträger weniger verbreitet waren. In der Epoche der Renaissance wurden Münzen nicht nur bevorzugtes Sammelobjekt, sondern spielten eine wichtige Rolle bei der Wiederentdeckung der antiken Kultur. Die Viten der römischen Kaiser und ihre Bildnisse fanden besondere Aufmerksamkeit.
