	COLLECTIONS:THE SOCIETY'S COLLECTION OF SOME 807,601 COINS AND RELATED OBJECTS IS ONE OF AMERICA'S TREASURES. IT ABOUNDS IN BOTH LARGE STUDY COLLECTIONS AND GREAT RARITIES, AND IS PARTICULARLY STRONG IN ANCIENT GREEK, ROMAN, ISLAMIC, FAR EASTERN, U.S., AND COLONIAL COINAGES, AS WELL AS MEDALLIC ART. IN MAKING THIS UNSURPASSED RESOURCE AVAILABLE FOR BROAD STUDY IN 2016, A GREAT DEAL OF CURATORIAL ENERGY WAS AGAIN DIRECTED TOWARD OUR WEB-BASED PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT OF OUR EXISTING HIGHLY ACCLAIMED DIGITAL TOOLS:-PELLA: COINAGE OF THE KINGS OF MACEDONIA (PELLA) (HTTP://NUMISMATICS.ORG/PELLA/)-ONLINE COINS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (OCRE)(HTTP://NUMISMATICS.ORG/OCRE/)-COINAGE OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC ONLINE (CRRO) (HTTP://NUMISMATICS.ORG/CRRO/)-COIN HOARDS OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC (CHRR) (HTTP://NUMISMATICS.ORG/CHRR/)-ART OF DEVASTATION(AOD)(HTTP://NUMISMATICS.ORG/AOD/)-NOMISMA (HTTP://NOMISMA.ORG/)-INVENTORY OF GREEK COIN HOARDS ONLINE (IGCH)(HTTP://COINHOARDS.ORG/)AS MOST OF THESE DIGITAL PROJECTS REQUIRE HIGH QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHY AND PRECISION CATALOGUING OF THOUSANDS OF OBJECTS IN THE ANS COLLECTION, CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION WAS FOCUSED ON AGAIN RE-CATALOGUING AND PHOTOGRAPHING COLLECTION OBJECTS.OVER THE PAST YEAR, TWO IMPORTANT GROUPS WERE DONATED TO US, ONE OF VISIGOTHIC REGAL COINS AND ONE OF EARLY COINS OF THE KINGDOM OF CASTILE AND LE N. FOR BOTH OF THESE DONATIONS, A GREAT DEAL OF TIME WAS SPENT PREPARING LISTS WITH CORRECT ATTRIBUTIONS TO HELP THE PROCESS OF HAVING THEM APPRAISED FOR DONATION, THEN CREATING NEW ACCESSION RECORDS FOR THE COINS AFTER THEY WERE DONATED. THE PROCESS CONTINUES, WITH MORE VISIGOTHIC AND CASTILIAN COINS EITHER NEWLY DONATED OR IN THE PROCESS OF PREPARATION FOR DONATION. LOANS FOR EXHIBITS. IN MAKING THIS UNSURPASSED RESOURCE AVAILABLE FOR BROAD STUDY, ANS LENDS ITEMS TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS AROUND THE WORLD.CURRENTLY, AROUND 431 OBJECTS ARE OUT ON LOAN TO 15 PERMANENT AND 6 TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS. IN EARLY APRIL, FOUR COINS FROM THE SOCIETY WERE LENT TO THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO FOR THE EXHIBIT "A PORTRAIT OF ANTINOUS IN TWO PARTS." THIS EXHIBIT BRINGS TOGETHER A BROKEN PORTRAIT OF AN EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL GREEK YOUTH, WHO WAS A FAVORITE OF THE ROMAN EMPEROR HADRIAN. OUR COINS DEMONSTRATE ICONOGRAPHIC FEATURES THAT WERE LIKELY INSPIRED BY SCULPTURES OF ANTINOUS. IN APRIL, THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART UNVEILED A SPECTACULAR NEW EXHIBIT "PERGAMON AND THE HELLENISTIC KINGDOMS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD". THIS EXHIBITION BRINGS TOGETHER SOME 264 ARTWORKS FROM THE HELLENISTIC PERIOD-TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. THE ANS HAS LENT TO THIS SHOW A REMARKABLE SILVER DECADRACHM OF POROS AND TWO SILVER TETRADRACHMS STRUCK IN BABYLON.ANOTHER INTERESTING EXHIBIT, "COURT AND COSMOS: THE GREAT AGE OF THE SELJUQS," ALSO OPENED IN APRIL AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART. THIS WAS THE FIRST MAJOR EXHIBITION TO PRESENT THE ART OF THE SELJUQS, A TURKIC DYNASTY THAT IN A SHORT TIME CONQUERED A VAST TERRITORY STRETCHING ACROSS PRESENT-DAY TURKMENISTAN, IRAN, IRAQ, SYRIA, AND TURKEY. THE EXHIBIT FEATURED 13 COINS FROM THE ANS, INCLUDING GOLD DINARS OF THE 11TH CENTURY, AS WELL AS COPPER COINS THAT SHOW ARTISTIC BORROWING FROM EARLIER GREEK, ROMAN, AND BYZANTINE COINS. A SPECIAL EXHIBITION "ROMAN MYTH AND MYTH-MAKING," FEATURING OVER 60 COINS FROM THE ANS COLLECTION, WAS OPENED IN SEPTEMBER AT THE JUNDT ART MUSEUM OF GONZAGA UNIVERSITY, IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON. THIS SHOW EXPLORES HOW THE ROMANS CHOSE TO INTERPRET THEIR MYTHICAL-RELIGIOUS PAST THROUGH ICONOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION ON EVERYDAY OBJECTS. ANS COINS IN THIS EXHIBIT SHOW ROMAN GODS AND ALLEGORICAL PERSONIFICATIONS OF IMPERIAL VIRTUES. AN EXCITING NEW EXHIBITION, "TIME AND COSMOS IN GRECO-ROMAN ANTIQUITY" OPENED ON OCTOBER 19 AT THE INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD OF NEW YORK UNIVERSITY. THE EXHIBIT EXPLORES THE WAYS TIME WAS CONCEIVED IN THE GRECO-ROMAN WORLD. ANS ITEMS INCLUDE OVER 40 COINS AND GEMSTONES, WHICH ILLUSTRATE CELESTIAL PHENOMENA, ASTRONOMICAL DEITIES AND ZODIACAL SYMBOLISM.

THE SEMINAR IS FULLY ENDOWED AND IS DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS OF HISTORY, ART HISTORY, TEXTUAL STUDIES, AND ARCHAEOLOGY, WITH LIMITED OR NO NUMISMATIC BACKGROUND, WITH THE AIM OF FAMILIARIZING THEM WITH A BODY OF EVIDENCE THAT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED AND POORLY UNDERSTOOD. OVER THE YEARS, THE SEMINAR HAS GRADUATED MORE THAN 600 PARTICIPANTS, MANY OF WHOM NOW OCCUPY KEY ACADEMIC AND CURATORIAL POSITIONS AT MUSEUMS AND PRIVATE AND STATE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL AS AT UNIVERSITIES IN ENGLAND, FRANCE, ITALY, GREECE, AND TURKEY.

SINCE THE FOUND OF THE ANS NEARLY 160 YEARS AGO, THE INSTITUTION HAS ACTIVELY SOUGHT THE BEST MEANS POSSIBLE FOR SECURING AND ORGANIZING THE COLLECTION PHYSICALLY, BUT ALSO MAKING THE CONTENTS OF THE COLLECTION ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE THROUGH PUBLICATIONS AND MORE RECENTLY DIGITAL CATALOGUING EFFORTS. THE ANS IS CURRENTLY THE LEADING NUMISMATIC INSTITUTION IN THE WORLD FOR DEVELOPING COMPREHENSIVE ONLINE RESEARCH TOOLS THAT HIGHLIGHT THE COLLECTION HOLDINGS.
