Antike Rollenbilder. Wertvorstellungen in Münzbildern at the Museum of the University of Tübingen

“Antike Rollenbilder. Wertvorstellungen in Münzbildern” at the Museum
of the University of Tübingen MUT is the first public display
exploring ancient gender roles and their reception in Greek and Roman
coin imagery. The exhibition contextualizes the coins with a variety
of archaeological objects such as gems, drinking-cups, and oil-lamps
depicting scenes that mirror the gender roles presented on coins.
Together, the objects tell a fascinating story about daily life and
visual experiences in the Greco-Roman world.

The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color exhibition catalogue
(Antike Rollenbilder. Wertvorstellungen in Münzbildern, edited by
Stefan Krmnicek, Habelt Verlag: Bonn, 2018. 176 pages and 100 color
photographs). The catalogue is for sale from Habelt Verlag. Inquiries
should be directed to info@habelt.de

“Antike Rollenbilder. Wertvorstellungen in Münzbildern” runs from
November 30, 2018 through February 8, 2019 at the Museum of the
University of Tübingen MUT and is open to the public from Wednesday to
Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The formal opening is on November 29,
2018.
