Seminar
March 9, 2024 / 10:00
Pera Museum is offering a seminar on Late Roman and Byzantine Coins for graduate students as part of Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection. The seminar, which adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the science of numismatics, aims to provide theoretical and practical skills for young researchers working on the archaeology, history, art, and culture of the Late Roman and Early Byzantine periods.
The intensive one-day program consists of a seminar and a workshop. In the first part of the program, Associate Professor Dr. Aliye Erol will give a theoretical seminar on Late Roman and Byzantine coins. In the second part, there will be an applied numismatics workshop by studying the coins from the Pierre Willemart Coin Collection donated to the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation.
The seminar will be held face-to-face at the Istanbul Research Institute. The language of the program is Turkish. The program is free, and attendees outside Istanbul must pay for their accommodation and transportation.
Temporary Exhibition
As the measurement of discovery became the substance of myths, weighing and measuring, beyond being mere physical actions, became an important means of self-expression to those captivated by the universe and what lay beyond the boundaries of knowledge.

The wind blows, rubbing against my legs made of layers of metal and wires, swaying the leaves of grass that have shot up from the cracks in the tarmac, and going off to the windows that look like the eyes of dead children in the wrecked buildings that seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.
“The portrait tells us that there is an inner and an outer dimension of the human condition; it provides—or should provide—information about both the physical and psychological character of an individual.”
Is Istanbul a single city? Will Istanbul too, be one day one day divided into different sections, and numbered like the arrondisements of Paris? These are tough questions indeed!
