The Mount Holyoke College Art Museum's latest exhibition, "Heads and
Tails: Portraits and Propaganda on Classical Coins," will open this
Thursday, March 2nd. The Opening will feature a lecture by William E.
Metcalf, curator of coins and metals and adjunct Professor of Classics at
Yale University.

This exhibition focuses on the 900+ coins Mount Holyoke College has
recently acquired. Bettina Bergmas's Art 310 class on the historical,
political, and aesthetic roles of coinage from Classical Greece to the
fall of the Roman Empire has been responsible for much of the cataloguing
and preparation for this exhibition. "Heads and Tails" offers a unique
opportunity for students to engage in primary research using original
coins.
