  Transfers of precious metals and their consequences (17th-20th centuries)

  After the first Round Table, in Paris at the École normale supérieure in January 2012, "Moneys and Economies during 19^th Century, from Europe to Asia", a second Round Table will be organized in the framework of the program DAMIN, in cooperation with the Casa de Velázquez and the LabEx TransferS (École normale supérieure, Paris). Precious metals were often transferred from a region, or a country, to another: looting of conquered regions (such as Roman Spain, Gaul or Egypt), invasions (Vandals, Huns invading the Roman Empire, Crusaders arriving at Constantinople), and, of course arrival of gold and silver from Americas after 1492. Each time, the new metal disturbed the monetary systems, sometimes improving, sometimes troubling the currencies and economies. The period considered is focused on the 19^th century, the question of the depreciation of silver and the transfers of metals from America or Europe to Asia, India, China, etc.
