Travels with the Naxos Masterpiece - Trailer
from Ancient Coin Collection · host Tim
In our first season, Annabel Schooling interviews Dr Tim Wright about his book Travels with the Naxos Masterpiece, published by Spink in 2025. We learn that this is an 'object biography', telling a big story through a small object: a 17g silver coin minted around 460 BC in the Greek city of Naxos, Sicily. Through the lenses of art, history, provenance, economics and crime, Tim sheds light on the broader subject of Greek Numismatics (the collection and study of ancient coins).Enjoyed this episode?
