Value of Old Coins Described by Curator
Mrs. Agnes Baldwin Brett, curator of the American Numismatics Society, spoke to the Classical Club in Barnard Hall April 16. She argued numismatics reveals ancient art, myth, politics, and economy, noting 1400 cities minted coins between 500 B.C. and 700 A.D. Her lecture, illustrated with slides, covered cultural life reflected by coins rather than minting tech. Faculty members attended and tea followed in the College Parlor.
