Classical literature tells us the story of soldiers coming back from Alexander’s conquest of the Achaemenid Empire carrying a fortune in gold and gems. Examination of coin production and analyses of its metal can teach us more about where the gold of Alexander came from and where it travelled after the conquest.

As a Lunch Table event, members of the Cluster are invited to join Frédérique for lunch in Hall at 12.30. The talk, beginning at 1.15 in the Levett Room, is catered with tea/coffee and cakes (all welcome).
