Dr Amelia Dowler

Amelia has joined the faculty from the British Museum where she was the Curator of Greek and Roman Provincial Coins. She oversaw the documentation phase of the Change project while at the BM and will continue project work in Oxford by completing a monograph on bronze coinage. The book will examine the introduction of bronze coinage across the Greek world with a focus on the rapidly expanding use of bronze alongside silver and gold in Hellenistic Asia Minor. Amelia’s work examines the development of fiduciary currency using die studies, metrology, and metal analysis to assess production methods, volume, and coin circulation patterns. Her book will cover the rise of token coinages in the Greek world and how they interacted with precious metal coinages.
