Charikleia Papageorgiadou-Banis

Charikleia Papageorgiadou, archaeologist and numismatist, is Research Director at the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), Section of Greek and Roman Antiquity (KERA) of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (NHRF) in Athens and Coordinator of the Programme “Economy and Society: The formation of the Greek world during hellenistic and roman times”.

She is approaching, through her studies, the coinage in the ancient societies as an economic phenomenon, either in the form of the numismatic circulation or, studying the evolution of the monetary economy, especially during roman times, in the Mediterranean basin and the Balkans.

In this frame she is conducting a study on the numismatic circulation in the Eastern Mediterranean from the Archaic to the Hellenistic times and she is preparing a study on Roman Republican Coin Hoards in Greece.

In addition, she studies themes from the roman numismatic iconography in order to highlight the integration and the response of the local societies to the roman policy and reality.

She has published monographs on the coinage of KEA (ΜΕΛΕΤΗΜΑΤΑ 24, 1997), on the numismatic iconography of the roman colonies in Greece (ΜΕΛΕΤΗΜΑΤΑ 39, 2004) and on the Zarifis donation in the Numismatic Museum, Athens (2006).
