the @WarwickClassNet has a new blog where teachers can share examples of innovative teaching! The inaugural blog, by Sian Squire (Shrewsbury College) and Nina Rinke (Worcester Sixth Form College) is of course numismatic themed! Enjoy! warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/class…

So it’s LEGO Classicism Day 2025. Our @ClassicsWarwick students have been building the Colosseum since before Christmas proving Rome wasn’t built in a day… #ILCD25 @BrickClassicist @profmcscott @warwickengages

A cameo made of glass paste showing a laureate Augustus, the dotted border strongly suggests the model was a coin. britishmuseum.org/collection…. Glass pastes were a cheaper way to produce products similar to gems, making them more available to a broader population.
ALT Cameo of deep blue glass paste, engraved with a laureate head of Augustus in profile; the rim is milled like that of a coin.

really great discussion between with @WarwickClassNet and @rohit_harip from Design Studies @uniofwarwick about 3D scanning and printing #coins for educational (and other) use! Plans to be hatched. ;-)

this #Roman #token @laBnF once belonged to Froehner (R. 881). It carries the legend SODALES DE SVO on one side and a lovely image of Victory on a globe on the other. Sodales was a term that referred to a companion or a member of a college. #numismatics coins.warwick.ac.uk/token-sp…
