Ancient Coins of the Graeco-Roman World

xii Nickle Numismatic Papers
We wish also to thank those people who helped with the organi-
zation of the Nickle Conference: Drs. M. B. Walbank and J. W.
Humphrey of the Department of Classics, Dr. K. Loose and Mrs. M.
Aldridge of Continuing Education, Mr. Tom Preston of the Nickle Arts
Museum, and Dr. H. G. Coward, Director of the Calgary Institute for
the Humanities. Thanks for help in various ways are due to Dr. W.
E. Metcalf, Professor W. C. Forrest, Dr. S. M. Burstein, and Pro-
fessor M. F. McGregor; Mrs. Vi Lake helped with the typing of some
papers, and Mr. Philip Amos assisted in reading the manuscript. The
contributors will doubtless join us in giving special thanks to Mrs.
Gerry Dyer, who not only did all the secretarial work before and
after the conference but also prepared the camera-ready, final ver-
sion of the entire volume. The editors particularly thank Professor
John W. Humphrey for help with the manuscript. We are also grate-
ful to the University of Calgary for a subvention to aid in the pub-
lication of these papers.
In conclusion, it is with great sadness that we record the loss of
Drs. Colin M. Kraay and Otto Mrirkholm, two of the most renowned
scholars in the field of ancient numismatics. Few, if any, of those
who contributed to this volume will say that they have not benefited
from his written work, from his helpful criticism, from simply having
known him.
