On Wednesday, April 15, 7:00-8:30 pm in Eaton Humanities 1B50 and on Zoom, Professor Yvona Trnka-Amrhein (Department of Classics, CU Boulder) will deliver the lecture “On Roman & Fatimid Hermopolis Magna: From Urban Splendor to Building Yard.” This event is co-sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America (Boulder chapter) and the CU Museum of Natural History. Register for the Zoom link. A description follows: ‘Located in Middle Egypt between Memphis and Thebes, Hermopolis Magna/Khemenu was an important cult center of the Egyptian god of wisdom, Thoth, called Hermes by the Greeks. This talk presents the initial results of the American-Egyptian City of the Baboon Project which allow a recalibration and deeper understanding of the Roman period city-center and its dismantling in the Fatimid period.’

On Wednesday, April 22, 4:30-6:00 pm in the CU Art Museum, the CU Boulder Classics Dept. holds the opening reception celebrating the brand new exhibit of Greek and Roman coins at the CU Art Museum! “Expressions of Identity in Ancient Greek Coins” features coins in the collections of the CUAM and CU Classics friend John Nebel and builds on the work done by students in a class on Greek coins taught by Professor Beth Dusinberre in fall 2025. In addition to the spectacular new display of Greek coins, CU’s Roman coins from the Wilton Jaffee collection are displayed anew — joined by a coin of Mr. Nebel’s minted by Brutus and celebrating the Ides of March. Refreshments will be served.
