The Numismatic Collection of the Ancient History Department consists of nearly 1,000 coins, spanning from the 6th century BC to the early 7th century AD. Since 2015, a permanent loan from the Episcopal Cathedral and Diocesan Museum of Mainz (Bischöfliches Dom- und Diözesanmuseum Mainz) has enhanced the coin collection with 220 Greek and Roman pieces, as well as two Roman glass paste intaglios.
