The Department of Coins and Medals holds occasional informal seminars on numismatic subjects, given by members of the department and visiting scholars. Visitors are welcome to attend, but please contact the organisers via Jonathan Jarrett (jaj20@cam.ac.uk), in advance to let us know that you are coming. The programme is subject to change at short notice, and it is best to confirm that a seminar is going ahead as planned.
Seminars take place in the department at 3.30 pm (prompt!) on Fridays.
