Showcase Lecture: Myths and monsters on ancient coins

22 Feb 2013

Free drop-in event for adults on Tuesday, 5 March (3-4pm, with tea and coffee until 4.30pm) at The Manchester Museum.

Enjoy a light-hearted romp through Greek mythology as depicted on Greek and Roman coins, starting with the tragic lovers Hero and Leander, moving on to the three Graces, Pan, Skylla and Charybdis, and the little-known and rather vile Hekate, and finishing with the exploits of Perseus and the 12 labours of Herakles. Never a dull moment!

With Keith Sugden, Curator of Numismatics, The Manchester Museum.
