Coinage and History in the Seventh Century Near East Seventh Century Syria Numismatic Round Table Saturday May26^th and Sunday May 27^th 2007 Call for papers The 12^th in this series of small informal conferences will be held at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts Birmingham, home of the United Kingdom's most important public collection of Byzantine coins. The aim is to bring together historians, numismatists and archaeologists with an interest in the coinage of the 7^th century near east. The conference will include a number of papers of around 45 minutes duration, but there will also be plenty of time for discussion, for informal short presentations and for hands-on sessions with actual coins. Topics discussed at the last conference (held at Cambridge in 2005) included early Byzantine credit systems, images of falconry on Arab-Byzantine coins and recently discovered hoards. If you are interested in giving a paper or a short presentation or just in attending the conference, please contact me on a.goodwin2@btopenworld.com. I will also be happy to discuss any ideas that you may have for possible papers. Please pass this notice on to any colleagues who may be interested. Tony Goodwin
