ANS Long Table 257 on Concordia in Roman Coinage Was Scheduled for December 19, 2025
The American Numismatic Society (ANS) announced Long Table 257, a talk on Concordia on Roman coinage, scheduled for December 19, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET. The speakers listed are Elisabeth Günther of the University of Heidelberg and Sven Günther of Northeast Normal University.
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): We rewrote the headline, summary and body to match the source, an ANS event announcement. We removed claims not in the source (including a shift from seated to standing figures, increased output during the third-century crisis, differences between eastern and western mints, and market and investor implications), corrected the speaker's name to Elisabeth, and stated that the source is an announcement of a talk scheduled for December 19, 2025. The previous headline was "Concordia Across Roman Coinage: How Imperial Propaganda Evolved Through Goddess Iconography."
This article is based on an event announcement posted on the website of the American Numismatic Society (ANS). It describes the scheduled talk and its summary as announced, not the content or conclusions of the talk itself.
The American Numismatic Society (ANS) announced Long Table 257, "The Many Faces of Concordia on Roman Coinage," scheduled for December 19, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET.
The Talk as Announced
According to the announcement, Concordia is a frequent subject on both republican and imperial coinage. Her representation, however, is not standardized and differs widely, and the contexts in which she appears are very diverse.
The paper will examine the iconographic development of Concordia, as well as attempts to relate specific representations to their historical contexts.
The Speakers and Their Argument
The speakers are Elisabeth Günther of the Institute for Classical Archaeology and Byzantine Archaeology, University of Heidelberg, and Sven Günther of the Institute for the History of Ancient Civilizations, Northeast Normal University.
They argue that Concordia on Roman coins was designed to build many possible visual and conceptual connections. In their view, this mirrors her meaning: to produce concord and unity in times when this seemed necessary.
