Marguerite Spoerri Butcher
Marguerite’s research interests cover a wide range of subjects, pertaining more specifically but not exclusively to Roman coinage, both imperial and provincial. Having a background in both classical and prehistoric archaeology, she developed an interest in questions relating to coin finds and coin circulation, particularly from Switzerland, Greece and North Africa. She is working as a consultant for the École Suisse d’archéologie en Grèce on the coin finds from Eretria (Euboea) and is interested in the coinage of Juba II of Mauretania (25 BC – AD 24). Marguerite’s PhD, dedicated to the coinage issued in the province of Asia during the reign of Gordian III (238-244), was published in 2006 as volume 7.1 of the Roman Provincial Coinage series. Recently she has converted its catalogue into digital format to make it available through Roman Provincial Coinage Online and has taken the lead in coordinating two further volumes of the Roman Provincial Coinage series, vols. 7.2 (238-244) and 8 (244-249).
