Money as Marker: Materialities of Exchange and Networks of the Past
Tue, 28th April
Location: Nalanda (Learning Centre)
Lecture by Dr. Shailendra Bhandare
Special Lecture organised as part of Networks of the Past: A Study Gallery of India and the Ancient World
This talk explores how coins can tell us far more than their face value. Drawing on numismatic data from the 1st to the 12th centuries CE, Dr Shailendra Bhandare will trace the networks of exchange that shaped the Indian Ocean world, moving beyond textual sources to examine the physical materiality of coins as markers of economic and cultural connection.
