Resumen
FERNANDEZ CAMPOS, Mariana. Duos Attracting? A Roman Coin Collection in Cuba. UH [online]. 2016, n.282, pp. 179-192. ISSN 0253-9276.
Attraction and repulsion are not so distant alternatives, and that fact became manifest in the human culture since the Antiquity. The current essay reveals how love and violence, nowadays subjects of great interest, were fighting and seducing themselves since the ancient Rome. Through a case study, the numismatic collection Dihigo, pertaining to the Classic Archaeology Museum founded in 1919 at the University of Havana, draws and then blurs the opposing boundaries that finally are face of the same coin.
