About Us

With its 162 pieces, the collection of coins from antiquity at the University of Stuttgart, Institute of History, Department for Ancient History is rather small. Nevertheless, part of it (56 coins, mostly from the Roman imperial period and late antiquity) is in constant use as teaching material concerning the basics of numismatics. The other section of 106 coins was purchased as part of a scholarly project between 1994 and 1996, comprising pieces from the Pontic region under the Hellenistic king Mithridates VI. Eupator (reigned 120-63 BC).
