INTRODUCTION 97

a similar piece of Azilises. Attention is directed to the superb silver
coins of Azilises, nearly all of which, came from the Bleazby Collec-
tion, The rarer silver types of this king are known from coins which
are either unique, or at the most not more than two or three in
number. All the silver types are shown here. The issues of Azes
are excellently represented; there is the rare coin of Spalirises as the
king's brother; and the gold piece bearing the name of Athama, a coin
which is unique of its kind.

As regards the Parthian series, there is a new and unpublished
type of the satrap Kharahostes, and the coin which may contain the
name of Soter Megas. This was published in my paper * Two Coins
of Soter Megas', J.R* A.S., July, 1913. The Cabinet includes one or
two specimens of the piece which I have attributed to Gondophares
and Aspavarma. Apart from these coins there is nothing particu-
larly noteworthy, but the Collection is thoroughly representative.
