Description

Two thousand years ago, long before high-resolution images and HDTVs, Romans emperors learned to disseminate their political message through coins. Roman coins, wrote numismatist Michael Grant, "served a propaganda purpose far greater than has any other national coinage before or since."


Stan Hudson (DMin, Fuller Theological Seminary) is a biblical numismatist and pastor of the Moscow Seventh-day Adventist Church in Idaho and Pullman Community Worship in Washington. He was the main numismatist consultant for the Faces of Power exhibit, and many coins from his personal collection were on display for this exhibit in the Lynn H. Wood Archaeological Museum.
