François de Callataÿ

François de Callataÿ is an expert in ancient Greek numismatics broadly speaking, with a high focus on methodology, who has devoted a substantial amount of his work to Thracian coinages. He is currently involved in several digital projects. One is already available: Fontes Inediti Numismaticae Antiquae (FINA wiki: https://fina.oeaw.ac.at/wiki/index.php/FINA_Wiki). Hosted by the Austrian Academy of Sciences, it integrates 4,000 letters and many other unprinted documents produced by the Republic of Medals till 1800. The website allows a lot of queries through dozens of filters producing automatic statistics and maps. Two other projects launched in the frame of the ERC Silver (advanced grant: PI Francis Albarède/ person in charge of the dbases: Caroline Carrier) are in their initial phases: a database for all the die-studies produced so far for Greek and Roman coinages; and another for all the Greek cases of overstruck coins.
