  • Preparing to launch

    The Centre for Coins, Culture and Religious History has not yet been launched. But work is well underway on the establishment of this new centre for research and education.

    We have many of the key elements in place, most importantly an impressive collection of coins, icons, manuscripts and religious objects.

    We have an outline of the mission for CCCRH and its core activities.

    We have an Executive Director and at least one research associate, and are currently inviting other colleagues with interests in the areas we address to join us.

    We are about to have discussions with key institutional partners here in Brisbane to determine the most appropriate physical and organisational location for the Centre.

    We anticipate good progress being made during the next few weeks, and hope to have an official launch for the Centre by mid-2017.

    In the meantime, we appreciate your interest and encouragement as we develop this new project.

    Executive Director

    OCRE | Online Coins of the Roman Empire

    Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE), a joint project of the American Numismatic Society and the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, is a revolutionary new tool designed to help in the identification, cataloging, and research of the rich and varied coinage of the Roman Empire. The project records every published type of Roman Imperial Coinage from Augustus in 31 BC, until the death of Zeno in AD 491. This is an easy to use digital corpus, with downloadable catalog entries, incorporating over 43,000 types of coins.
