The ANS and Oxford University launches Bactrian Indo-Greek Rulers (BIGR)

Although it has been announced informally on Twitter, our official press release was issued during the INC conference in mid-September to coincide with a paper presented by Simon Glenn and Gunnar Dumke in the digital futures of Hellenistic coinages session. This typology includes 531 types and many additional subtypes, linked to more than 4,000 total specimens from three major collections. The photographic coverage of the parent types is nearly complete, and these typologies have already been integrated into the Hellenistic Royal Coinages umbrella site, backing Bactrian and Indo-Greek coinages available through the same interfaces as Seleucid, Ptolemaic, etc.
