PREFACE
In the Prefatory Note to Volume I. it was explained that this Catalogue owes
its existence to a suggestion ma,de by Mr. James Stevenson, that suggestion being
accompanied by a munificent offer to bear the whole expense of printing and
publication. Unfortunately Mr. Stevenson was not destined to see the conclusion
of the enterprise thus initiated. But the friendly welcome accorded to the first
two volumes gave him real gratification, and it was characteristic of him that he
took special pleasure in that portion of the scheme under which copies of the work
were presented to nearly three hundred libraries at home and abroad. Those who
knew him will, I trust, feel that the completed Catalogue provides an appropriate
memorial of his genuine interest in learning, his enlightened public spirit, and his
deep attachment to the city of his birth.
The loss of Mr. Stevenson is not the only serious blow that the undertaking
has encountered since the appearance of the second volume. In December, 1902,
Professor Young's long tenure of office as Keeper of the Hunterian Museum was
closed by death. One of his cherished wishes had been to secure from a wider
circle a proper appreciation of the treasures under his care, and the zeal he showed
in promoting Mr. Stevenson's project was but the natural outcome of the spirit in
which he regarded his whole duty. Dr. Young's place as a Trustee was filled
by Mr. Robert Gourlay, LL.D., who, along with Mr. James J. MacLehose, has earned
the cordial thanks of all to whom the book in any way appeals. Mr. MacLehose
Avas one of the original Trustees, and on him has devolved from the outset the
chief responsibility for the business management of the Fund. In this as well
as in other matters his help has been invaluable.
It will be found that the present volume is considerably larger than either
of its predecessors. At the same time, the ground which it traverses has been
much less fully explored. In some series, such as the currencies of the Arsacidae
and the Ptolemies and the native coinages of Spain and Gaul, the new material
available was too scanty to admit of any attempt at an independent contribution
towards the settlement of far-reaching difficulties of classification. In other cases,
b
ii PREFACE
however, I have ventured to depart more or less widely from the traditional
arrangement, in the hope that the innovations introduced may be generally
accepted as improvements. In dealing with the money of the Seleucid Kings, for
instance, (and, indeed, wherever suitable opportunity offered) I have endeavoured to
gather the bronze coins into homogeneous groups by combining the evidence
of Aveights, monograms, and types. The Alexandrian issues, again, are catalogued
upon a principle which is not, perhaps, strictly scientific, but which may be left
to justify itself by the fresh light it throws on the history of a mint of first-
rate importance.
In preparing the volume for the press, I have incidentally been led to enter
on the consideration of some interesting questions. Certain of these — the chronology
of the money of Tigranes I., the portrait of Antiochus Tlieos, the coinage
of Hierax, the issues of Antioch under the early empire, the era of Rhosus,
and the significance of the numeral letters on imperial pieces of Syria — have
already been discussed elsewhere. Others are now touched on more briefly in
the footnotes. Among the latter it may be convenient to indicate specifically
the dates on the coins of Apamea, the supposed use of the Actian Era at Tripolis,
the legends that occur at Gaza, the well-known crux connected with the money
of Agrippa II., and the employment of a ' die-test ' as an aid in classifying the coins
of Gyrene and of Carthage. I am exceedingly sorry that the exigencies of space
have compelled me to reduce to the narrowest possible limits the Appendix showing
the corresjDondence with Combe's Bescrlptio, and also to refrain from supplementing
the Introduction to Volume I. by the reproduction of additional letters and papers
dealing with Hunter's unlucky purchase of the Peralta Collection.
Acknowledgment has once again to be made of many obligations. The references
in the footnotes will show the published works that have proved most useful. But
it ouirht to be recorded that M. Th. Reinach allowed me to consult the new edition
of his Jewish Coins while it was still in manuscript, and that Dr. J. N. Svoronos
generously put the proof-sheets of his Ptolemaic Corpus at my disposal. On several
special points I had the advantage of Dr. Imhoof-Blumer's most valuable advice.
At The Hague, at the Fitzwilliam Museum, and also (on three several occasions) at the
Bodleian Library, every facility was granted me for making a personal examination
of particular series, while casts came from the public museums at Berlin, Paris,
Vienna, Athens, St. Petersburg, Copenhagen, Gotha, Turin, and elsewhere, as well as
from the private cabinets of several collectors at home and abroad. After all, how-
ever, it is to the British Museum that my chief debt is due. With unwearied
patience Mr. Head and his colleagues allowed me to scrutinize the contents of the
PREFACE iii
trays for nearly every district included in Volume III. Casts for close comparison
were ungrudgingly supplied, and neither counsel nor suggestion was ever asked in
vain. Even the laborious task of reading the proofs was willingly performed by
Mr. Wroth and Mr. Hill. In spite of their vigilance, and of my own efforts, many
blemishes must remain. Still, the work is finished and, with all its imperfections, it
represents twelve years of strenuous leisure. If these years have brought difficulties
to be surmounted, they have also brought kindness in abundant measure. My deepest
regret is that some of those to whom I owe most have already passed where no Avord
of thanks from me can reach them. Of Mr. Stevenson and Dr. Young I have
spoken in the Prefaces to earlier volumes. And they are not alone. In particular,
I shall always preserve a grateful recollection of the stimulating encouragement
constantly received from the late Professor Robert Adamson.
GEORGE MACDONALD.

SIGNS AND ABBREVIATIONS
In printing the inscriptions the following conventions have been observed : —
(1) Square brackets indicate that the place of the letters they enclose is oiF the coin.
E.g. AGHNAICriN]
(2) Short strokes on the level of the line indicate an uncertain number of illegible
letters. E.g. Fl E
(3) Dots on the level of the line indicate a dejinlte number of illegible letters, each
letter being represented by one dot. E.g. TAPAN . . . . N
(4) A dot placed beneath a letter indicates that, while the letter is certain, it is
impossible to decide between two or more forms of it. E.g. AAEiANAPOZ
In references for illustrations 'B.M.G.' means in each case the appropriate volume of the
British Museum Series of Coin Catalogues.

KINGS OF ARMENIA
TIGRANES 1.
Circa 97—56 B.C.
The early Itistory of the Armenian monarchy is obscure. It touched the limit of its
greatness under Tigranes I., who in 83 B.C. succeeded in making himself master
of Syria. He joined his father -in law Milhradates in Ms struggle against Rome,
and became involved in his ruin. His coinage, which is often included in the
Seleucid series, appears to have begun after he made Antioch his capital. It falls
naturally into three periods.*
Circa 83—78 B.C.
No dates have been observed on the coins of this period. The liev. type of Nos. 1 S.
represents a famous sadptured group by Eulychides of Sicyon, levown to us by
many other copies, notably a marble statue in the Vatican.-f

Selciiciis, ivho liud been appointed satrap of Babylon by the regent Antipater in
321 B.C., loas driven ont by Antigonus five years later. With the aid of Ptolemy
he regained his authority by the victory of Gaza in 312 B.C., at which date the
' Selciicid Era' loas aficrwardu rechoned as beginning. As satrap he had struck
money in the names of Alexander and of Philip III. In 305 B.C. he assumed the
title /Sao-iAcu's, and hcijim to place his oimi jiame on his coins. The battle of Ipsus
gave him control of Syria (301 B.C.), and subsequent campaigns added considerably
to the extent of his dominions. While he introduced types of his own in all metals
{e.g. Nos. 1 S. and Nos. 29 H.), he continued to employ contemporaneously the types
of Alexander the Great.* His earlier money was issued at Babylon, but before the
close of his reign there must have been various mints in operation.

j4.s one might expect fro)ii the length of Ids reign and the number of possihie mints,
the bronze coinage of Scleitcus exhibits great variety of types. The material here
available is not sufficient to justify any attempt at a scientific classification. Under
the earlier Seleucid Icings it is not uncommon to find series consisting of three
denominations, each of the tioo higher being, roughly, double the weight of the (ue
belo'W, and idl having the same types.'^ With a few exceptions, the whole of the
following belong to one denomination.

* No doubt, as is sho-wn by the monograms on later pieces, the x"'^"-"'"*. SixaXitov, and Terpa-
Xa\Koi' : see Imhoof-Blumer, Monn. grecq., p. 429. But, where series are incomplete, and there
are no marks of value, it is impossible to distinguish the diifereut denominations with certainty.
In such cases (and they constitute the great majority) no attempt has been made in this Cata-
logue to distinguish the bronze coins by the names of the denominations they may have belonged
to" The variation among those with marks of value proves clearly that weight is a very un-
reliable guide.

The attribution of this piece to Hierax rests solely on iconographio grounds. But the
suggestion seems to have, at least, some probability. The presence of a border of dots on
both sides of the com differentiates it from other pieces 1 have elsewhere attributed to
the reign of Hierax. (J.H.S., xxiii., pp. 114 f.)

* Nor can any approximation to certainty be attained until the whole of the earlier Selencid
bronze coins are made the subject of a much more full and thorough investigation than they have
yet received. The main reason in favour of assigning Nos. 49 ff. to Antiochns III. is that they
do not certainly belong to any other king, and that witliout them his bronze coinage would seem
unduly meagre.

ANTIOCHUS IV. (BPIPHANES)
Circa 175—164 B.C.
Antioclms IV. was the brother of Seleucus. Taken to Borne as a hostage after the
battle of Mtttjncsia, he remained there nearly fourteen years. On his way bnclc
to Syria he spent some time in Athens.* He was still in Greece when news of his
brother's deatlt reached him. Hastening eastwards, he had his nephew (loho had
succeeded him as a hostage to Home) set aside, and secured the crown for himself.
Throughout his reign he remained, on good terms with the Unmans. Evidence
of the divine honours accorded him in his lifetime is borne by his coins, not
merely through the inscription (Nos. 21 ff.), but also through the appearance
of stars on the diadem (Nos. 4, etc.), and through the idealization of the head
(Nos. 5, etc.).

First Ri'igu [circa 146—140 B.C.)
Dciiwfrins II., son of De.nelrius I., landed in G'dicia in 147 B.C., to make good Jiis
claim to the crown. The type of the Rev., as well as the letters on the Obv.,
of Nos. 1 and 2 show that they loere struck at Mnlliis. Alexander Bala, who
had alienated his Egyptian ally, -was defeated and slain hy Deinetrivs and Ptolemy
in 146 B.C., when Ptolemy was also mortally wounded. Demetrius had great difficulty
in maintaining his position owing to internal and external troubles. In 140 B.C. he
was made prisoner by the Parthians under Mithradates I.

The proper classification of the numerous bronze series of Demetrius II. is a matter
cf difficidtij. Where there is no date, it is not easy to decide to which of his tiDO
reigns any one set shoidd he assigned, although the portrait often furnishes an
indication. Xos. 6 — 15 are all of somewhat similar fabric, and all have the
central hole. It is doubtful whether No. 6 is connected loith the others. But
Nos. 7 — 9 and Nos. 10 — 14 are clearly a higher and lower denomination of one
series.'* Of this scries there loere at least two different issues, one being dated.
The higher denomination of the dated issue is not represented here.

evidence furnished by the Rev. type {D.N.V., in., p. 248). Another point of connection is the
curious form £ [=200] in dates. This is regularly used on the tetradrachms of Demetrius III.
(e.g. supra, p. 113, No. 1), and also on those of Tigranes's third period {e.g. B.M.C, PI. xxvii. 5).

The occurrence of the elate 25 on coins both of Trajan and of Hadrian
{Nos. 2 f., Nos. 6 f.) shoivs that this city used an era beginning in 92 a.d.
Possibly it was in that year that it received the title of ' Flavia,' which
would thus be bestowed in honour of Domitian.

Second Century B.C.
Antioch, Apamea, Laodicea ad Mare, and Seleucia Pieria — all founded hy
Seleucus Nikator, and named after members of the family— formed a group
of four cities that were at one time hound to each other hy specially close
ties ; they were called the ' sisier ' cities* The coins for this group were pro-
haUy minted, not at Antioch, as has usually been supposed, but at Seleucia
Pieria. \ These pieces, u^ich are dated according to the Seleucid
Era, were issued in three denominations.

ANTIOCH
First Century B.C.
Antioch had been a mint during tlie days of the Seleucid monarchy* Subsequently
the city itself issued bronze coins, usually in two or three denominations. As a
ride, each issue extends over a series of years, and is followed by a period during
lohich the mint appears to have been idle. The types of the highest, which is also
the commonest denomination, varied but little. In the case of the lower deno-
minations changes were not infrequent. At first the dates are reclconed accord-
ing to the Seleucid Era. The earliest of the following must have been contemporary
with the latest silver issues of the Seleucid Icings : see supra, p. 100.

Tho reign of Hadrian is remarhahle for the revival of the pseudo-autonomous eoinage.
The great outburst of activity which marhs the year 128 — 129 a.d. leas d.oid)iless
occasioned by the visit of the Emperor Hadrian, who spent part of that year in
Aiitioch. Though no new types were designed, nearly all the old ones leere revived,
there being at least three different issues. The title Mr^rpoTroAis is also employed
again on the coins, after being long in abeyance.

Bronze
During the reign of Elagahaltis a marked change comes over the bronze coinage, as
the result of the establishnent at Antiocli of a "-coloniu.' Greater variety of types is
introduced, and the size of the pieces is largely increased, the denominations being
two in number. The larger denomination is generally distinguished, not merely by
its size, but also by the presence of a ram on the lieo. In spite of the use of the
letters A€ cind SC> ii u'ould apjpear that the right of bronze coinage leas noiv
transferred to the city.\

APAMEA
First Century B.C.*
Bronze
Apamea, on the Orontes, named after the wife of Seleucus I., ivas a town of great
importance under the Seleucid kings, and one of the royal mints (see p. 67). During
the first century B.C. bronze coins were issued, at fairly regular intervals, usually in
tvw or three deitomi7iations. At first these are dated according to the Seleucid Era.
The other combinations of letters are doubtless magistrates' names. From a com-
parison of these it loould appear that the magistrate who signs on the coins held
office for two or three successive years. On the other hand, different signatures are
sometimes found in the course of one and the same year.'\

The dates on the followiru/ are difficult, hit the simplest solution seems to he
to regard those on Nos. 28 and 29, and on Nos. 32 and 33, _ as abbreviated
Seleiicid dates* This r/ives a chronological arrangement that is in entire con-
formitii with the naturcd sequence of types. In each of the three series there
' arc two denominations. In the second, the Emperor displaces Athena as the
obverse type of the larger denomination, the goddess being transferred
to the reverse of the 'smcdler one. In the third the Tyche of the
city is treated much as Pcdlas loas in the second.

drra 300—2.39 B.C.
Tlie incovporaiion of Ai-(iihis in the Empire of Alexander led to the adoption
of tlie Euhoic-Attic standard for silrcr. At first the silver currency appears
to have consisted eut/rch/ of Alexandrine tetradrachms and drachms {see
Vol. I., pp. 313 and 324, Nos. 166 f£. and 263 f.). It is possible that
Antiochiis I. and some of his snccasors may have strnclc tetradrachms at
this mint.* The following belong to the early Seleiicid period.

The era of Aradiis dates from 259 B.C., in loliicli year the city apparently secured
its autonomy. It is p>robable that Alexaiidriiic types were still used for the larger
denominations of silrer. At first the coins were undated.

This city loas a joint settlement from Aradus, Sidon and Tyre. It was a royal
mint under the Seleucid Kings, and also under the Ptolemies.* At one period it
dated its coins from the Era in use at Sidon (111 B.c.-f) ; but during the
greater part of its history it employed the Seleucid Era.

have been deprived of its titles (see Nos. 66 f.), and doubtless of some of its

* The Ebv. type recalls that employed on some of the 'municipal ' coinage of Antiochns
IV. (see su;pra, p. 50, Noa. 58 £F.) ; but the style is rather better.
t We should thus have a parallel for C€ ABI AHNX2N, and also for the puzzling
ANTIOXEI2N TflN EN nXOAEMAIAI. De Sauloy's explanation of C€
as a date {Num. de la Terre-Sainte, p. 212) would throw these coins as late as the reign of
M. Aurelius. a supposition which their style absolutely forbids. I hare examined the two
similar specimens in the B.M. The reading on these is leas clear than on the Hunter coin.

SIMON MACCABAEUS
143—135 B.C.
There are no early Jewish coins. The people had been carried into captivity hefore
the invention of coining reached Palestine. On their return they doubtless made use
of the money of the Phoenician cities. The first coins struclc at Jerusalem were
shekels and half- shekels of the following types. They are dated, not from the
granting of autonomy by Demetrius II. (143 B.C.), but from the granting of complete
autonomy by Antiochus VII. in 138 B.C., lohen Simon loas expressly accorded the
privilege of striking money with his own dies.'\ This coinage lasted for five years,
and came to an end in 134 B.C., when Jerusalem surrendered to Antiochus.

followed hia change of view in regard to the thorniest of all questions of Jewish numis-
matics. His historical and general arguments seem to me very strong ; but I confess that
the style and fabric of the coins still remain a difficulty.

104—103 B.C.
After the victory of Antiochus [wJw himself striiclc bronze coins at Jerusalem circa
132 B.C.*), tlie Jews again became dependent on their neighbours for a silver
currency, notably, after 126 B.C., on the Tyrians. Simon had been assassinated
in 135 B.C. Under his successor, John Hyrcanus (135 — 104 B.C.), small bronze
pieces, for local circulation, began to be minted. They were issued in the name
of the ruling prince as high-priest, and of the ' commonioealth ' f of the Jews.

Herod, son of Antipater, had, through the support of the Romans, acquired great
power and influence in Judaea. When the troubles with Antigonus became acute
(40 B.C.), he loas recognised as 'King.' With the aid of Sosius, he captured Jerusalem
from Antigonus in 37 B.C., and jiermanently established himself as ruler. As a
vassal of Borne he struck only bronze. It is notable that the inscriptions on the
coins of^ this dynasty are exclusively Greek, indicating the advance of Hellenic
influence. At flrst the types conform to the Second Commandment.

ipon his coins is reckoned as commencing. In 53 a.d. he exchanged Chalcis for a
vjider dominion. In 54-55 a.d. the limits of this latter loere extended by Nero, and
Vespasian made further additions. His second era comrnoices in 60 A.D., about

* The application of this principle clears away many of the difficulties that have hitherto
surrounded the dates on the coins of Agrippa II. Under Titus the head of Vespasian
disappeared from the highest denomination (Madden, op. cit., p. 153, No. 4), and under
Domitian the head of Titus was similarly displaced both on the highest and on the intermediate
one {Ihid., p. 156, No. 5, and p. 159, Nos. 20 f.). Under Claudius and Nero the First Era is
used. In the earliest issue under Vespasian (74 A. v.) a fitful attempt was made to introduce
the Second Era, both systems being employed in that year. The First Bra alone was used
in 75 and in 77 a.d. But in 78 a.d. it was definitely superseded by the Second Era, and was
not used again, except possibly on Madden p. 159, Nos. 19 — 21, which may thus belong either
to 83 a.d. or to 95 a.d.
t It is worth noting that the name of Vespasian is always in the dative on this series,
those of his sons in the nominative.
J Tlie use of L for ET on certain coins of this year, associated with the spelling
ArPITTOY and with a more lumpy fabric, may indicate a diflerence of mint.

ROMAN PROCURATORS OF JUDAEA
Bkonze
After the banishment of Archelaus in 6 A.D., Judaea was reduced to the status of a
proviuctal territory by the Iioiiiaiis, and administered by procurators. It was
incorporated in the h'ngdovi of Agrippa I. in 41 a.d. ; but on his death, in 44 A.D.,
it became a territory once more, and so continued until the First Bevolt. The bronze
coins struch by the procurators for local circulation conformed strictly to Pharisaic
orthodoxy. They are dated according to the regnal years of the emperors.

SECOND REVOLT AGAINST ROME
Under Hadrian the Jews once more revolted, and for three years (132 — 135 A.D.)
maintained a fierce struggle. The leader during the first year ivas a certain
Eleazar, whose name occurs on No. 5. Later it was Simon Barcochba, whose name
appears on Nos. 2—4 ayid Nos. 6 — 9. The occurrence of the name ' Jerusalem,'
as on Nos. 1 and 10, may indicate that the insurgents loere in possession
of the ruins of the city for a time, lohile the Obv. type of No. 1
perhaps holds up as an ideal the rebuilding^ of the Temple.* It
is signifi.ccmt that the lohole of the silver coinage is restruch.f

t Of the specimens hero catalogued, all, except possibly the tetradrachm, show very-
obvious traces of the process. No. 3 is probably, and No. 4 is certainly, restruck on a
drachm of Caesarea in Cappadooia. The latter retains on the Obv. a clear outline of the
head of Trajan, as well as the letters AIANC€Br€PM, and on the Eev. YrTATS" ■
It should be added that tbe way in which the edges of the silver coins of this epoch are
hammered is characteristic. Another remarkable point is the accuracy with which the
dies are adjusted towards one another. It is this (along with the inscr.) that justifies
the description of the bunch of grapes on Nos. 3 £f. as "inverted."

B. UNDER THE ROMANS
It was under Trajan that the Bonians first laid a firm hold on Mesopotamia.^ His
conquest was folioioed immediately by a revolt, after the sujipression of which the
Icings of Edessa icere friendly allies of the liomans until 163 A.D., lohen there brohe
out serious disturbances, one of the results of which seems to have been the accession
of Wdel and the achiowledgment of Parthian suzerainty. The duty of subjugating
the revolted districts, and carrying on the Parthian war, loas entrusted to L. Verus.
Verus restored Maiinus VIII., who had been driven out by Wdel.

KINGS OF PAETHIA*
The Parthian Kingdom oviginated in the great revolt against the Seleucid Icing,
Antiochus II. (circa 250 B.C.). The leaders were Arsaces, afterwards reckoned as
the founder of the royal dynasty, and his brother, Tiridates I., the latter of whom
reigned from 248 to 210 B.C. The difficulties that surround the classification of
the long series of coins issued by the Parthian monarchs are well hioion.f The
arrangement here followed is that adopted in' the B.M.G. The standard used
for silver is the Euboic-Attic, often debased.
EARLY KING
Coins nice the following hare been conjecturally assigned to Phriapatius
(191—176 B.C.) and Phraates I. (176—171 B.C.).

helmet, bound with diadem, earring,

[Of. B.M.C., Pl. I. 9.]
(No. 1 is pierced.)
* A considerable number of the coins here catalogued do not belong to the oiiginal Hunter
Collection (see supra, p. 42, footnote). Those presented by Mr. Campbell in 1895 are specifically
enumerated at the beginning of each reign.
t While these sheets are passing through the press, an important addition to the literature
of the subject has appeared: Bitter Alexander von Petrowicz's Arsaciden-Munzen (Vienna,
1904), a catalogue of his own fine collection.

PTOLEMY I. (SOTER)
Circa 311—285 e.g.
No coins appear to have been struck in Egypt until after its conquest hij Alexander
the Great. On his death Ptolemy secured the satrapy of what was undoubtedly the
wealthiest and most secure portion of his kingdom. At first he acted nominally as
governor for Philip III. (Aridaeas) and Alexander IV. O.i the death of the latter
(311 B.C.) he recognized no new master, but he did not formally assume the title
BaCTtXcus until after that step had been taken by Antigonus (306 B.C.). Nos. 1
and 2 probably fall within the interregnum (311 — 305 B.C.), No. 2 having been
struck in Cyprus before its capture by Demetrius.

Ills elder sister, Arsinoe II., a woman of strong character, who speedily acquired
immense influence in home and foreign politics. She died circa 271 B.C., and was
accorded dirine honours immediately therecfter.* If the nunjeral letters on the

still holding that Nos. 4.5 ff. are dated by regnal years, he puts forward the view that the series
to which No. 42 belongs IS dated by the era of Tyre, and that one system of numeration was in
use throughout, Q on No. 42 being equivalent to Q

PTOLEMY IV. (PHILOPATOR)
Circa 221—204 B.C.
Ptolemy IV. did not inherit his father's force of cliuracter. He left the government
mainly in the hands of Snsihlos and Agathocles, ivhile lie ijave himself up to
voluptuous living. The prestige of a great victory won over Antiochus III. at
Baphia, combined with the firm basis on which Ms predecessors had organized the
government, prevented the kingdom from suffering so seriously as it might have done,
although at one period Ptolemy had to face a most formidable revolt. No. 1 may
belong to the early part of his reign before his mother, Berenice, loho had great
influence over him, was deprived of her power and driven to her death by Sosibios.*

PTOLEMY V. (BPIPHANES)
Circa 204—181 B.C.
Ptolemy V. was a mere child ivhen his father died. The reins of government were
held in turn by the leader of the faction that happened to be uppermost. Shortly
after his accession Coele-Syria was conquered and annexed by Antiochus III., whose
daughter Cleopatra subsequently became the loife of Ptolemy. The seeds of decay
S01D71 under his father came to fruition under tlpipihanes. His reign was notable for
the wealcening of Egyptian power and influence abroad {all foreign possessions were
lost except Cyprus and Gyrene), and for the darlcening of the shadow of Borne
over the throne of the Ptolemies. Nos. 1 — 3 form a continuation of the series
represented by Ptolemy IV., No. 28 (q.v.).

Etilneus and Ms colleague Leiiaeua deteriiiliieil to assert the claims of Eijij^Jt tu
Coele-Si/ria. This led to a quarrel with Antiochus IV. Ptolemy, who took the
goi-ernment into his oimi hands circa 170 B.C., yielded to the influence of his uncle,
ivho regarded himself as de facto riiler of Egypt, coimterinarldng coins loith the
Selencid symbol (cf. Nos. 9, 12, 13), and even striking an Egyptian currency in
his own name (see supra, pp. 48 f., Nos. 51 S.). The Egyptians declined to
acquiesce, and setup the younger brother of Philometor as Icing. A reconciliation
followed between the brothers, who appealed to Bome for aid against the common
foe. Antiochus abandoned his projects against Egypt at the bidding of the Roman
Senate, and the two Ptolemies arrived at an agreemeni as to the division of poiocr.
The double eagle on the follonnng groupi possibly commemorates the union.*

PTOLEMY VIII. (EUERGETES II., PHYSCON)
Circa 145—116 B.C.
The legitimate heir teas Ptolemy VII. (Eupator), the young son of Philometor.
He loas, however, murdered soou after his father's death by his uncle, loho at
the time of the troubles with Antiochus IV. had been i^roclaimed Icing of the
Egyptians, and loho had ever since claimed some share in the government. The
grounds for attributing Nos. 1 — 4 to this reign are very scant;/.

The feign of Euergetes II. as sole king was full of troubles, due to Ms misgovem-
ment. At one period Tie had to take refuge in Cyprus (130 B.C.). The attribution
of Nos. 6 — 14 is rendered certain by the dates, tvhich repn'esent regnal years reckoned
from circa 170 B.C. No other Ptolemij reigned sufficiently long to make them
admissible. All bear Cijpriaa mint-marks. Nos. 15 — 17 appear also to have
been struck during this reign;* they are remarkable for the absence of any
central hole. Nos. 19 — 24 bear the title of Euergetes ; they are
of flat fabric, with lov] relief. f

Ptolemy Physcon left heJiind /r/ni two sons, directing Ms widow Cleopatra to choose
which of them shoidd be hing. She espoused the cause of the younger, hut was
unable to do more than secure for him the Icingdom of Cyprus. In 107 B.C.,
however, the younger succeeded in winning the crown of Egypt, and relegating the
elder to Cyprus. A long struggle followed, and it was not till 88 B.C.
that Soter II. finally reasserted himself.

t The absence of L is a real difficulty. In view of Ecgling's discovery as to the significance
of 7T •'^"'1 M (.^'^^ nit-pru, p. 399), the suggestion that it may be a value-mark should not be
lost fcight of, especially in view of the fact that | occurs on a still smaller denomination in
later reigns. (See B.M.C., Nos. ]89, 344, 354, 896 f., 907 ff.)
+ That is, on the assumption that the regnal years of Augustus were reckoned, as Poole
supposes, from August, 30 B.C. This view has been generally accepted (Pick, Z.f.N., xiv., pp.
30O fE., and Kaestner, De Aeris, pp. 83 ff.), and Dattari's arguments in favour of 27 B.C. do not
seem convincing (Riu. Ifal. di Nuia., 1900, pp. 275 ff.).

The issues of billon during this reign were very limited. Bronze, on the other lunid,
was struck in great ahiindaace. The history of the mint falls natvridly into three
periods, distinguished mainly by the form of the Obv. inscr.*
First Period {Years 1 — 9).
During this period the Obv. iascr. is continuous, and the Emperor's name is
vnamtnictrd. ivhile the form Z is invariably employed. Two parallel groups are
distinguishable. On the first of these (which begins in the Year 2), the sign L
is never used, and the numbers are written in full. All the coins
of this group are of one denomination.

the material. But it is entirely confirmed by the lists in the B.ilf.C, and in Dattari's Cataloqo.
One or two apparent exceptions are probably to be accounted for by misreadin^'s, or by t^e
occasional survival of Obv. dies from one period to another. <= < j

ANTONINUS PIUS
Billon
Under Antoninus Pius a marleed deterioration in style is noticeable. There is also
much more variation in regard to the obverse type. There being no obvious system
of grouping, such as was adopted under the preceding emperors, the coins of this
reign are arranged chronologically. During the first two or three years the
Emperor always appears hare-headed.

The bronze coins, loliich are very mimerous, reflect some of the changes that occur on
the billon; but the correspondence is far less close than it had been under Trajan
and Hadrian. A notable feature is the appearance of groups of related types in
particular years, such as the astronomical types of the Year 8, and the types con-
nected loith HeraMes in the Years 4, 6, 6 and 10. t The arrangement here followed
is chronological, but each of the five denominations is grouped by itself. The largest
denomination (Nos. 447 — 492) was by far the commonest. The style is generally
poor, but there are a few exceptions, such as No. 447.

PHILIPPUS SENIOR
Billon
The hillon coins of Ph'dippus Senior fall into four groups, distingnished from each
other by the variations in the Ohv. type. The first group covers the Years 1 — 3.
During this period the inscr., which does not vary, is frequently broken. Some of
the coins are of good style.

AUBELIAN
Billon
Aurelian hastened to assert his right, and was speedily victorious. To judge from
Nos. 1006 and 1013, he had recovered Alexandria hefore the end of August,
271 A.D.* A successful campaign in the east followed, and it is doubtless this
that is commemorated on Nos. 1018 and 1025 infra. His coins as sole ruler,
precisely lilce those striicl; in association with Vaballathus, fall into tieo parallel
series, differentiated hy the form of the Ohv. inscr. At first the two series icere
struck contemporaneously. f But the issue of Series I. seems to have ceased after
the Year 5. Within the series successive groups can, as usual, be distinguished.

THE NOMES OF EGYPT

The following coins were not a local issue in the proper sense of the loord. The
close resemblance between the Obverses of all coins of one date indicates that they
were struclc at the same mint. Comparison of contemporary pieces shows that this
was Alexandria. The issues usually coincide vjith specially abundant Alexandrian
issues.* Doubtless their purpose was primarily commemorative.f The coins afe
accordingly arranged here under the Emperors, local classification being
regarded as subordinate.

HADRIAN
Hailrutn on several occasions issued Nome-coins of the same denomination as No. 2.
But by far his largest issue is that represented hy Nos. 3 fi., which included two
denominations, and which belonged entirely to the Year 11. The normal {hut not
rnvariuhle) relation between the types of these denominations is exemplified by
Nos. 16 f.; the Bev. type of the lower is usually an animal or other object,
which appears on the Beo. type of the higher as an adjunct of a
standing figure, being, as a ride, held in his hand.

Throughout the greater part of its monetary history the city employed a complicated

* j^° ^^^ °^^^'^ ™"^^ °* Gyrene there is no rule as to the manner in -which the Obv and
Rev. dies have been adjusted to one another duriup the process of strikino- This is usual on
all early Greek and Roman coins, and indicates that the upper die -was movable, as sho-wn on
the well-known denarius of Carisius : see Bahrfeldt, Antike Miinzteclmik, p. 9 Some time in
the course ot the fourth century, however, hinged dies appear to have been introduced at
tyrene. Almost all the coins struck subsequent to circa 32] e.g. show absolute regularity in
the relative position of the dies, which are adjusted thus : /J\./|V. (There are also not a few
instances of /|n^ .) The gold coins now to be described vary. Mr. Hill has kindly examined
for me the corresponding specimens in the B.M. His results agree with my own. Gold
pieces signed APISTArORA, KYA 105(0), OE(Y«|)EIAEY§), lASilN and
lASONOS appear to be invariably irregular, while those signed HOAIANOEYS d
XAI(PIOZ) are as invariably regular. The natural inference is that the change from
movable to hinged dies took place in the course of this period, and that the group of magistrates
first enumerated are, therefore, earlier than the two last named. It would be interesting if
this inference could be confirmed by wider observation.

Carthage loas singularly slow to adopt the practice of minting money. It was only
in the course of her second great invasion of Sicily that her rulers became fidly alive
to the convenience of coins. The dies for her earliest pieces were cut by Greek artists,
and irere modelled on the coinage of Syracuse (Nos. 2 and 4 — 10). Those modelled
on the tetradrachms of Alexander the Great [Nos. 11 — 15) mitst belong to the period
immediately preceding the evacuation of 310 B.C.

* See p. 568, footnote. On Nos. 1 — 48 the relative adjustment of the dies is entirely
capricious. There is not a single instance of ^ T^. It is, of course, impossible to say
■whether loose dies -were ever used at Carthage or not. If they were, tben Nos. 24f. and
probably some of the bronze pieces just described were struck there. What is certain is
that at a comparatively early period hinged dies were introduced, and that tliey continued to
be employed down to 146 B.C. In the case of Nos. 49 — 110 the dies are, without exception,
most accurately adjusted "{^ ^. Mr. Hill has again examined for me the corresponding
trays in the B.M., which contain a much larger number of examples. He tells me that the
conclusions here stated are fully borne out by the B.M. evidence. Out of 26 electrum pieces
all are regular save one, a coin similar to Miiller, ii., p. 86, No. 76, where the dies have been
placed 1^ ^. All the silver is regular, except a curious group = Miiller, ii., p. 87, No. 87,
every one of five specimens of which is irregular — a peculiarity which seems to me to suggest
that they are non-Carthaginian in their origin (cf. infra, p. .597, footnote to Nos. Ill £f.).
All the potin coins are regular, and so are all the bronze pieces except the groups correspond-
ing to Nos. Ill — 129, regarding which see footnote ad loc.

Circa 241—146 B.C.
The acquisition of the Spanish mines ushered in a period of great monetary activity
at Carthage. Electrum {not gold)* silver and bronze coins were issued abundantly.
Tou-ards the end of the period the electrum contained hut little gold, lohile potin
apparently toolc the place of silver.-\
Electeum
llie electrum coins here described belong to different periods, and apparently to
different standards also. Nos. 56 f. are certainly the oldest, Nos. 54 f. are
probably the latest. No. 53 resembles Nos. 75 f., and is not far removed
in time from No. 59, lohile No. 54 is contemporary with No. 87.

independent confirmation of Spano's attribution seems very strong. Possibly Nos. 27 — 34

character, conform in standard to the ordinary Boman currency. Chronologi-
cally they cover four distinct periods, extending from the Treaty of 226 B.C.
to the reorganization that followed the fall of Numantia, in 13.3 B.C., with a
temporary revival during the war with Sertorius (80 — 72 B.C.). There is much
similarity of types, especially within the same districts. The Iberian inscr. on
the Bev. gives the name of the tribe on whose behalf the issue appears to be
made. The districts are here arranged geographically, the numbering of the coins
being continuous for each ; within these, the coins are classified chronologically, -f
and also by denominations, irrespective of the tribal names and probable mints,
although these latter particidars are always indicated as far as possible. I

[Plate xcvi. 3.]
* See Zobel, op. cit., i., pp. 145 ff.
t I have adhered in the main to Zobel's chronological arrangement. But it ought to be
noted that the evidence supplied by the forms of the letters (on which he mainly relies) is not
always consistent with the conclusions suggested by style and weight.
J Here again I have followed Zobel, even where his attributions have a large element
of conjecture. The necessary cautions will be found in Hiibner (Monumenta Linguae Ibericac,
Berlin, 1893), who also accepts Zobel's scheme as a whole. For transliterations of Iberian
legends, Eee infra, Index to Remarkable I.nsoriptions.

VOLUME I.
Pape xxviii. The date of Sir W. Hamilton's letter is ' 1781,' not ' 1741.'
Pages 3 ff. The following pieces catalogaed among the ' Aes Grave ' are false, — p. 3, No. 2 ; p. 5, No. 11 ; p. 7, No. 1 ; p. 15,
Nos. 2, 4, and 6. Dr. E. J. Haeberlin, who has personally examined the whole, informs me that p. 5, No. 11 is
from the same moulds as Garrucci, PI. xvii., No. 1.
Page 13, No. 1. For 'Head of ram' read 'Head of horse.'
Page 151, Nos. 6 f., note. For 'Etruria' reaA 'Apulia.'
,, No. 8. The attribution to Paestum appears certain.
Page 212, No. 46. Omit 'Semis,' and /or '7' read ' cornnoopiae ' (Bahrfeldt, Romiseh-Sicilischs Miimen, p. 75).
,, No. 1. The reproduction of the insor. is not quite accurate ; its eccentric form is probably due not to blundering,
but to the double striking.
Page 225, No. 44, footnote. A similar piece in the Loebbeoke Collection suggests that the Punic inscr. was ' Ras Melkart.'
Page 257, Homans in Sicily, No. 2. The head on Kev. is not Herakles, but Medusa : see the Berlin example figured by
Bahrfeldt, op. cit., PI. iv. 70.
Page 258, No. 6. For '[El]' read '[ET]'; see Bahrfeldt, op. cit., p. 100.
Page 314, footnote. For 'the Seleucid era' read 'an uncertain era,' and delete what follows.
Page 359, No. 19. A coin from the same die (in Vienna) corrects ' NE ' into ' A[ICN€r2].'
Page 453, No. 1, note, and page 456, Thessali, No. 1, note, for ' Flaminius' read ' Flamininus.'
Page 454, No. 2. As is shown by a coin now at Athens, the inscr. should be completed '<I>AA[r2PI ASTIiN],' and the
coin, therefore, belongs to Phaloreia. See' Num. Chron., 1890, p. 187.
* Although this list is too long, I cannot hope that it is complete. I have to acknowledge obligations in connection
therewith, not only to the published works quoted and to Dr. Haeberlin, but also to reviews by Prof. Dressel, Dr. K. Regling,
and M. Th. Eeinaoh, and to private letters from Mr. Earle Fox, Dr. H. Gaebler, Dr. B. V. Head, Dr. Imhoof-Blumer, Hr. A.
Loebbecke, Prof. B. Pick, and the late Dr. J. P. Six.

Page 125, Bura, No. 1. The inscr. is probably BOYP6A TCON, as on Z.f.N., xxiv., PI. ii. 7.
Page 180, Nos. 14 ff., note. For 'No. 13' read 'No. 14.'
Page 200, No. 3. The full inscr. is '$feYE©[<],' and the coin is Gaulish of Northern Italy.* It is the double of the
piece described by Sambon, Les monnaies antiques de Vltalie^ p. 67, No. 104, PI. i.
,, No. 4, note. For ' No. 3' read 'No. 4.'
Page 214, No. 1. This coin is merely a worn Athenian triobol, similar to those described on p. 53.
Page 216, No. 2, note. For '2 B.C.' read '1 A.D.,'and alter the folloicing dates accordingly.
Page 228, Polemo II., note. The phrase 'descendants of Mitliradates ' is inaccurate. Polemo "1. .married the daughter of
Pharnaces, but they had no issue.
Page 244, note. For ' o^^scure' read ' fairly well hinwn.'
