Join Hunterian Director Steph Scholten as he presents his vision for the future of The Hunterian. Steph will also introduce Friends to the new exhibition Byzantium: A Golden Era of Coinage. This fascinating exhibition looks at the coinage of the Byzantine Empire, which dominated the eastern Mediterranean. Centred on the capital of Constantinople, it was a beacon of Roman power, Greek influence and Christian worship, which spanned the ancient and medieval worlds. A succession of emperors and empresses directed civil, military and religious affairs within ever shifting borders. Coins bearing their images were struck at mints across the Empire, reflecting dramatic periods of history and a golden era of coinage from an extraordinary civilisation.
