Sir George Francis Hill (1867 1948), was perhaps best known as a
numismatist, although his scholarly interests and accomplishments
included a range of time periods and subjects. A classicist by
training, Hill built his career at the British Museum's department
of coins and medals. In his forty-three years there he produced
volumes on coins of antiquity; Greek history and art; coins,
heraldry, and iconography of medieval and Renaissance Italy; and
treasure troves. In 1931 Hill became the Museum's director and
principal librarian, the first archaeologist to hold this post. His
four-volume History of Cyprus (1940 52) ranged from Cyprus's
earliest years to the twentieth century, and became the standard
text on the subject. It is a valuable resource for scholars of the
country, of antiquity and of the Mediterranean world.
