Franziska Schmidt-Dick

Franziska Schmidt-Dick (born July 5, 1944 in Villach ) is an Austrian numismatist .

Life

From 1966 to 1973 Schmidt-Dick studied Classical Archeology , Numismatics and Ancient History in Vienna , attending additional courses in Egyptology and Indology . The doctorate to Dr. phil. she received it on July 10, 1973. From January 1, 1974 to July 31, 2004, she was a member of the Numismatic Commission of the Austrian Academy of Sciences . During her studies she did restoration work in the anthropological department of the Natural History Museum in Vienna and auxiliary work in Sweden .

Research priorities

Schmidt-Dick's main task at the Numismatic Commission was the publication of a number of coin collections as part of the Thesaurus Nummorum Romanorum et Byzantinorum (TNRB) project as well as the processing of ancient coins as part of the project The Fund Coins of the Roman Age in Austria (FMRÖ). Another outstanding thematic focus is the systematic analysis of the imperial Roman rever typology .

Methods / approaches

In addition to carefully examining the coin as a source, Schmidt-Dick endeavored to see and present it in the context of emissions, based on the ideas of the Viennese structure . In addition, based on a detailed consideration of the basic types with all their variants, she investigates the possibilities of communication of the coin as a medium, whereby the smallness of the object in the picture and legend requires a brief and abbreviated presentation.
