Planchet Podcast
The podcast of the American Numismatic Society
This episode’s guest is numismatist and author Cathy Lorber, whose monumental new work, Coins of the Ptolemaic Empire, Part II, Ptolemy V through Cleopatra VII is now available to order. Lorber holds a BA in Classical Greek from UCLA. She spent nearly 40 years as a cataloguer in commercial numismatics, from the early 1970s until her retirement in 2009. In this episode, we talk about how she became a cataloguer, her introduction to the Ptolemies, and the balancing act of conducting a colossal research project situated at the confluence of analogue and digital tools and methods.
