    (Special Collections & Archives, University of Waterloo Libraries, 2024-08-01) Gallipoli, Anthony
    Since 2022, undergraduate and graduate students studying Classics have been working with the Edgar William Pyke coin collection. Students have used the collection to inform their papers, to help Special Collections & Archives create more robust descriptions, and as research sources for their graduate work. Anthony Gallipoli (MA '24) recently competed his MA in Classics with an examination of the symbolism of the five animals depicted on the Roman Republican legionary standards. Below he gives insight into some of those animals that appear on coins in the collection.
