Dr. Michel Amandry is the Director of the Cabinet des Mˇdailles at the Biblioth¸que Nationale in Paris, France, and was awarded the 2004 Huntington Medal Medal for his exemplary work in the field of ancient numismatics.
Dr. Amandry was born in 1949 in Greece. From an early age he was exposed through his late father, Pierre Amandry, one of France's best-known archaeologists, to the study of antiquity. After his baccalaurˇat in Strasbourg, Alsace, he studied at the university, where he received his degree in Classics. For his doctorate he chose a numismatic topic with the coinage of the duovirs at Corinth. He has spent his academic career as curator at the coin cabinet of the Biblioth¸que Nationale in Paris, which he has been leading as Director since 1991. In addition, he has held various teaching appointments in Paris. As Editor of the Revue Numismatique and many other publications, he is involved in many other numismatic organizations and societies. In his research he has been instrumental in bringing the so-called Roman Provincial coinage to the attention of numismatists and historians. With Andrew Burnett, he embarked on a ten-volume cataloguing project of all coinages of the Roman provinces, one of the most ambitious numismatics projects undertaken in recent decades. Other areas of important work are the coinages of Cyprus, coin hoards from France, and a many general overviews. |
