Sadly, since his death in 1986, Clement\u2019s catalog has remained in an incomplete and unpublished state.\u00a0 This open access repository of coins and the evidence of their archaeological context is here presented as a celebration of Clement\u2019s work, while the full corpus of numismatic material is being prepared for publication.<\/p>\n<p>To see each of the coins with their associated information, select a menu option from the &#8220;Browse the Collection&#8221;

These materials have been recovered and documented over multiple decades of excavation by teams from UCLA, the Ohio State University, and the University of Chicago. In particular, the Clement Catalog was examined and updated by Dr. R. Ross Holloway and Dr. Liane Houghtalin. It has most recently been examined and edited by Dr. Michael Ierardi.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"588\" data-end=\"918\">The actual coins have been treated by professional conservators to reverse the effects of corrosion to the copper alloys, commonly known as &#8220;bronze disease,&#8221; and are now stored in a cool, dry location in the storage rooms of the Isthmia Museum and\u00a0 MSU Excavations at Isthmia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4j4pj-fbcbb7a7429840ce82dafe4d8a32781f\">\n.flex_column.av-4j4pj-fbcbb7a7429840ce82dafe4d8a32781f{\npadding:0 20px 0 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4j4pj-fbcbb7a7429840ce82dafe4d8a32781f av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_three_fifth  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mcf50911-aa949188fa9916a57b0455481c076cb6\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mcf50911-aa949188fa9916a57b0455481c076cb6 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mcf50911-aa949188fa9916a57b0455481c076cb6 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mcf50911-aa949188fa9916a57b0455481c076cb6 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-19  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-640 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-640 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IC_71-0866-300x300.jpeg\" alt='' title='IC_71-0866'  height=\"300\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IC_71-0866-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IC_71-0866-80x80.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IC_71-0866-36x36.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IC_71-0866-180x180.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IC_71-0866.jpeg 404w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-3i3r-4d8bfff67969bee8cd2629d76c115759 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_two_fifth  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mb8h9h9s-3bbae1ddfa3eadc790d1a7149c1a8d67\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mb8h9h9s-3bbae1ddfa3eadc790d1a7149c1a8d67 .avia_textblock{\ntext-align:right;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mb8h9h9s-3bbae1ddfa3eadc790d1a7149c1a8d67 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 class=\"\" style=\"text-align: right;\" data-start=\"2133\" data-end=\"2162\">How the Coins are Digitized<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\" data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1272\">Each coin is photographed individually using a high-resolution digital camera mounted on a copy stand. The setup includes directional lighting to highlight inscriptions, relief details, and surface textures. Both the obverse (&#8220;heads&#8221;) and reverse (&#8220;tails&#8221;) of each coin are photographed at the same focal length and within the same frame, so that the resulting images can be most easily presented at the same size and scale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\" data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1272\">The resulting digital file, is stored in TIFF format on primary and back up hard drives.\u00a0 This digital image is then masked to separate the coin from its background visually, and adjusted for clarity and lighting. Then it is saved again as a JPEG file in order to improve the speed of display over the internet. Care is taken to ensure the that name of the digital file matches the number of the coin in the excavation catalog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\" data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1272\">Student researchers and interns then transcribe the associated notes\u2014originally recorded by excavation directors and trench supervisors\u2014into a spreadsheet format.

The work reconstructed the history of the mint in Chalcidice and catalogued the coins found in the excavations, with a long section on the chronology of the city; Clement returned to the topic in a later paper. His other major contribution is his volume in the <em>Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum<\/em> (CVA), done with his student Pamela Packard, on the Greek vases in Los Angeles. His philological publications were fewer but include his graceful and accurate translation of part of Plutarch&#8217;s table-talk. His first academic position, at William and Mary, was wiped out by the Great Depression. Clement recalled that, after his personal discovery of Greece in the 1930s, he resented every minute that he did not spend there. And indeed his major legacy to knowledge will probably be the reports of the excavation he organized and directed at Isthmia. The most spectacular find here was a large mosaic in the Roman bath. In his preparation of this catalog of Isthmian coins, he returned to the field of his first publication; thus his scholarly career came full circle. His heavy smoking contributed to emphysema, which partly disabled him in later years and prevented his seeing to the planned volumes of reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"110\" data-end=\"381\">Clement worked loyally at UCLA, presiding over the local department during part of its transformation from a provincial teaching department into a center of national reputation. He was an awe-inspiring but stimulating teacher, and an exacting friend and colleague. An inimitable Southern elegance was paired with dignified manners and a passion for precision in language and scholarship. The latter quality made him especially suitable for the task as editor of publications of the ASCS in Princeton, a position where he exerted lasting influence: he supervised the journal Hesperia and such great works as the Athenian Tribute Lists by Merritt, Wade-Gery, and McGregor. Clement was a figure out of Wagner, tall, gaunt, with a lined face and Roman nose. The most generous of hosts, he delighted in holding court, with a party of the young, at a lavish dinner under the trees at his favorite French restaurant in his beloved Athens.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"110\" data-end=\"381\">&#8212;<em>Adapted from Wohl, Birgitta and Chambers, Mortimer: Database of Classical Scholars<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><div class='av-extra-border-element border-extra-arrow-down'><div class='av-extra-border-outer'><div class='av-extra-border-inner'><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ma4ki5r5-737fd24bd20b8845b7fdb5b2f8b0f570\">\n.avia-section.av-ma4ki5r5-737fd24bd20b8845b7fdb5b2f8b0f570 .av-extra-border-element .av-extra-border-inner{\nbackground-color:#658e9c;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='methodology'  class='avia-section av-ma4ki5r5-737fd24bd20b8845b7fdb5b2f8b0f570 footer_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-31  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll av-arrow-down-section container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-31'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-ntl3-3d3260a5e06ceab3c1f1286d265dd385 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-32  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ma4khwvj-447c11615a9886a515939fdd780d0f7b\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-ma4khwvj-447c11615a9886a515939fdd780d0f7b .avia_textblock{\ntext-align:right;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ma4khwvj-447c11615a9886a515939fdd780d0f7b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-start=\"2133\" data-end=\"2162\">Image Use and Permissions<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2423\">All images in the Isthmia Coin Collection are shared under a Creative Commons Attribution &#8211; NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0).<br data-start=\"2307\" data-end=\"2310\" \/>This means you can use the images as long as you give proper credit and don\u2019t use them for commercial purposes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: left;\" data-start=\"2425\" data-end=\"2589\">If you would like a higher-quality version of an image, please <strong data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2541\">click the button below to send a request to the archive team<\/strong> or email <a rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2545\" data-end=\"2588\">freyjona@msu.edu for assistance.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-ma5n165v-33d5a2196ad28d4095f329a100e824bf-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-34  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ma5n165v-33d5a2196ad28d4095f329a100e824bf\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-ma5n165v-33d5a2196ad28d4095f329a100e824bf{\nmargin:20px 0 0 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href='https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/access-form\/'  class='avia-button av-ma5n165v-33d5a2196ad28d4095f329a100e824bf av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-small avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Visit the Access Form Page\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Visit the Access Form Page<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-31","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31"}],"version-history":[{"count":77,"href":"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":700,"href":"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/31\/revisions\/700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/msuisthmia.org\/archive\/clementcatalog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
