On the occasion of May 18, International Museum Day, the book was promoted OHRID FORTRESS – Coins of the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire and their provinces (211 BC-238 AD) By the author Danica Razmovska Bacevska.
The promotion was held at the Hristo Uzunov Memorial House at 12:00, with the presence of colleagues, numismatics enthusiasts, and family members.
The host was the director, MA Goran Patchev, with a reference to the International Museum Day as a holiday of museums and a discussion about the universal idea of museums without borders as a topic of interest for this year’s celebration, i.e. the networking of museums that cooperate for the purpose of enriching and modernizing museum narratives and inclusiveness. In this sense, the cooperation in the museum networks of ICOM, the Balkan Museum Network (BMN) and the Network of European Fortified Cities (Forte Cultura) was mentioned.
The promoter, Jordanka Matova, spoke about the work and the author, and the author herself gave a detailed presentation of the content of the publication, which is undoubtedly of great importance for world numismatics.
The circulation of coins in the Ohrid Fortress from the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD confirms the fact of Lychnidos, as a regional center in the ancient period. The diversity and richness of the exhibited numismatic material from Lychnidos is a result of its geographical position and the mineral wealth in ancient Macedonia, which led to a strong monetary production that was the basis for the internal and external stock exchange in the trade of that time in these Ohrid Region.
