    Ilse and Leo Mildenberg Memorial Lecture with N. Keith Rutter, professor emeritus, University of Edinburgh

    This lecture will explore relationships among the three peoples of western Sicily — Elymians, Phoenicians, and Greeks — in the 5th century BC, not in terms of traditional accounts of their eternal enmities from the ancient historians, but through their coinages, which seem to suggest an openness in relations.

    Free admission. Open to the public.

    To honor the memory of renowned numismatist and scholar Leo Mildenberg (1912–2001) and his years of friendship with Harvard University, a fund was established by his friends and colleagues and endowed in 2005 by his wife, Ilse Mildenberg-Seehausen.
