Kommentare/ Inhalte: Webinar: Islamic Coins as Source for Political, Urban, Legal, and Economic History Islamic coins are the most prolific epigraphic sources in the Middle East for pre-1500 history. Nevertheless their potential for understanding urban or regional history is often neglected, even in comparison to other material sources, such as ceramics, pottery, and manuscripts, which us ally get much more attention. This course is designed to introduce historians and archaeologists to the main issues of working with Islamic coins and coins finds. The requirements for this webinar are: • Attendance – Regular attendance, active participation, and preparations of weekly readings is expected of all attendees. • Readings – All participants will have read and prepared all readings for that week before the Tuesday class meeting. Reading load averages 2-3 articles or book chapters per week. These will be sent to each of you via Wetransfer before the semester begins. • Presentations – You will give a 15-minute Power Point presentation on a case study of your choice (during the class we cover that general topic). Please clear the subject of your presentation with me, though, before the end of the first week of classes.
