The Australian Centre for Ancient Numismatic Studies (ACANS) was established at Macquarie University in 1999, as the result of an important endowment from Mr and Mrs W.L. Gale. The Centre has been placed within the Division of the Humanities. It has a board, as defined by the Centre’s constitution, of six members. The director (from 2000) is Dr Kenneth Sheedy. Each year ACANS appoints one senior research fellow and two junior fellows. It also annually appoints the Gale Distinguished Lecturer in Numismatics.
