The explanation of the second head causes difficulties. The busts (n. 249) are so little fine that a difference in the heads on obverse and reverse can probably be noticed but there is no basis for a provision. At the headshots (n. 250), Traianus - a rare case in Abdera - is quite truthful on the vs. faithful, and the head of the Rs. undoubtedly that of an old man, v. Sallet Beri. Cat. 117. 142 suggested Hadrianus doubtfully, or rather a repetition of Traianus' head; Mionnet I, 368. 35 wants to recognize the “divus pater Traianus” in this. Against Hadrianus speaks, like v. Sallet himself noticed the beardlessness; against divus pater Traianus the wreath. For the repetition of Trajan's head speaks very much of the scripture that moves from the vs. to the Rs. continues and refers to a person; but the attempt has been made so clearly heads of different ages to show that Mionnet's suggestion is considered the best for the time being. must be recognized if one does not prefer to recognize Nerva in the old portrait. 248* Κ III 248** Κ23 Α Υ Τ Ο Κ Τ Ι Τ Ο Σ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ Head of Titus m.L.

Also the Coins do not make the loss smaller1). There- for teach her us documented the e c o n o m i c h Condition the City in different periods of ancient times know the layer and communicate with a geographical perspective and various individual notes the reasons for the rising and falling prosperity of the residents. Ainos was an important city in the century and a half from 500— 350 B.C. BC, and experienced during this time two periods of flowering, the first about from 478-440, the second from c. 412-370 v. Afterwards their importance declined longer, the more. The prosperity was based on transit trade to the black sea and became more through the relationship towards the hinterland than through the experience events the general Greek influenced history. The final reason of the decline forms the swamp the mouth of the Hebros and the change des big ones northern trade route, those from the development of shipping For the internal administration results from The coins have an office that changes every year, but its name and meaning remain obscure. — In the external P o l i t i c have the and the increasing danger of transport route overland arose. § ι- Location and breakfast history until Years c. 478 B.C. BC Ainos was by the sea like all Greek ian cities in the land of the Thracians. The City stood out in front of its sister cities due to their location in the estuary area of Hebros, today's Maritza, from this largest Thracian river, which is far from the northern slope of the Rho- dope coming the big ones within- flows through the country's plains to get into unregulated Run through swamps that to reach the sea. And this situation was their happiness and their ruin. The Hebros gave the city its natural legal security and trade, but also brought the fever. In the long run the second factor proved to be in his Consistency as the stronger one the security that had to be bypassed, and compared to trade, the other ways could and did find. Once was the ridge on which Northwest tip of Ainos was built, one Peninsula like the one running parallel to the south Thracian Chersonese; today extend Antiadasmine (cat. n. 279), or the Hermes coin head with dem Laurel wreath (Cat. n. 387) for Certainly political references to contemporaries They contain nothing, they don't tell us anything.

The reshuffle has taken place over long centuries, and we have no news of how far they are at the time of its founding and existence from Ainos in the classical period- had stepped. Only one thing is clear Lich: Whether sea or swamp, protected and difficult accessible was Ainos in North. Of course, also hindered in the sweeping, and this isolation by nature explains the city's lower participation to world events'). Like today Railway and roads the broad swamp bypass the Maritza estuary area and Enos was left unnoticed, as was the case in ancient times the via Egnatia, which in turn only the older Völkerstrasse from the east West follows'). If Ainos were alone on the Eastern traffic, which is not convenient in itself with the Thracian Chersonese and the Propontis had been instructed to 1) The Location give the Olds consistent (Herodotus 4. 90, Strabo 7. 52 and others, see Pauly- Wissowa s.v.

It is the river that gives her a second assigned role, and he brought the welfare stood. Ainos is - about Massalia am Rhodanos comparable - not only that natural export port for the inland country goods coming down the river are brought, but by nature given transshipment port on the Aegean Seas for goods from the north seas. A look at the map shows it. From the deep Gulf of Burgas on the Black Sea, on its southeastern end the ancient Greek city of Apollonia lay, the route leads via Adrianople Maritza descends straight towards Ainos. From Pontos by land to Hadrianopolis, if not the path further north- lich led to the Tonzos (j. Tuntza), thence to water down the Hebros the goods went to the Aegean and came from there.

I30 THRACIA its transit trade from Atlantic Ocean became big1) despite its difficult access from the land side, so to a more modest extent through this- the same means also Ainos. In line the transshipment ports, to Chalcis and Eretria, Corinth, Sybaris, Massalia is to face the city if you want to understand interpretation. But the comparison with Massalia teaches also the weaknesses of Ainos. It's missing her the excellent harbor, and all the be- The efforts of the Ainians do not have it so closed could create, like him for Massalia nature forever offered2). That's missing The city was also healthy from the beginning Climate Massalia, and ever longer ever made it worse and is making it worse Malaria, the fever air of the Hebros swamps applies. And finally transit trade found when shipping developed and Bosporos and Dardanelles no more had to shy away from the danger in her superior, superior competitors, while rend the long journey through the ocean around Spain for Massalia's crossing agricultural trade could not be dangerous. But that direct shipping to Pontos alone does not cause the decline of Ainos brought about, shows for August ') Strabo already had this consideration for Massalia 4. 177 employed. 2) Ainos lies on a low cape, just through a narrow strip of land with the mainland connected. In the north flows near Hebros over; over; in the west and south there was once open space sea, are now lagoons. Dumont a. a. O.P. 204 reported from a pier made of large stones, 300 feet long, 20 feet wide, from the Greek period comes from. It shows the effort the Ainians, to maintain the maritime status of their city. 3) Ovid Tristien I 10. He goes to Tempyra, something westward the mouth of the Hebros, from board, and tus' time the involuntary trip to the north country Ovid's and for Traian's time the new: founding of Traianopolis on the site of the old Doriskos3).

She certainly has dues paid, and if the city thanks to her Location away from the large east-west street also from the army masses Xerxes was spared, for the provisions magazine in Doriskos and the train itself there will be no shortage of contributions have4). Nevertheless, the Coins the next period - before 478 BC. Chr. has Ainos not minted — prove on- once again that of the Persian Regiment wasn't unbearable, yes that was underneath May the Great King live well. One ruined city would have not the good, created abundant coin, like Ainos it did around or soon after 478 BC. BC The good one reason on which the city bloom in the new one Freedom escapes folded, was prepared or cared for by Persian. 3) Neither the Persian suzerainty nor its beginning or End is for Ainos expressly attested. But the subjugation of the Thracian southern coast up to the Strymon through Megabazos also understands these city in itself (Herodotus 5. 2 and 5. 10). Regaining freedom falls between 478 B.C. BC (liberation of Sestos) and 465 BC. BC (Abandonment of the last Thracian place, Doriskos through Mascames). The earlier date is true- more apparent.

The facility of Doriskus (Herodotus 7.59) probably does not indicate this Inadequacy of the port of Ainos, rather only the absence of the πεδίον μέγα made it Army assembly point unsuitable. 9*

And also inside the city it looked cloudy. No little silver money served more for market transactions A small copper coin was used to help oneself this time of need. The drachma coinage is for Ainos an innovation. For at least fifty years, perhaps close to a hundred In years such pieces were not minted, and were before too the drachmas were exceptional pieces4). The reason the innovation is advancing of Macedonia. With the year 341 B.C. BC ends Silver coinage from Ainos forever5).

There is also agreement with that coin base of a neighboring area so large, that the immediate Leaning the Athenian coin to Athenian money would be rejected even if one about the trade policy concerns wanted to override.

But the fact, that here at the beginning drachmas the largest form coin and this one a little easier on average than the Ainian ones, show sufficiently clearly that Ainos of both cities the giving, Apollo nia is the receiving one. Not out concluded, admittedly without any proof, is that at that time the region of Ainos, the appendix Chersonesi, constitutionally somehow to the Chersonite principality belonged to the Miltiades, his relationships to the Thracian land through his marriage with a Thracian chief's daughter are still clear. 2) Ainos' imprint is simple, without big weight changes and on little Varieties limited.

The city is therefore not considered. 3) The slight weight loss of the small types of money in relation to the tetradrachm is due to chance based. That the state will profit from it wanted is unlikely; to it is the Difference too small.
AINOS 153 would these Weight reduction theirs full explanation in the general set the weight deterioration each money find1). One could assume that Ainos kept his silver currency unaffected flows from abroad from the beginning to designed to the end. However, it is more likely that through a law, not through the natural slow Weight reduction that Tetradraquinone on 15 g was reduced - with Consideration of the newly introduced at that time Variety of "Tetroboles" from 2 '/, g - and furthermore, this Tetrobole embossing like later the last dragon minting each time from abroad is calling. That Ainos only does this for the purpose of giving new or forgotten varieties, not to change the coin base saw the occasion, it owes it to the similarity its currency with the in Consideration coming states. The big role that played in the IV. Coinage period (c. 412-365 BC) the Play T e t r o b o l e n of 21/a g (in the III. are just a few forerunners, n. 291. 292, present), is for Ainos from itself difficult to explain. At one round look in the neighborhood they are missing understandable. "Tetrobolen" of 2l/s g and their halves, “dioboles” of iY 4 g in the first half of the 4th century in Ainos' near and far surroundings very popular types of money, actually a international Kurant small coin, the in its part the dissolution of the Greek political world illustrated.

If so the tetrobole embossing the mercantile influence of the East neighboring area is to be explained, as shown the last D rachme m embossing much- slightly to the west, to M a k e d o n i e n . Of course is the influence here not so obvious and certain.

Where can Ainos come from around 360 BC? BC be so strongly influenced? The Rival- the powers on Thrace's coast, Athens and Macedonia, come in before others question, and among them will be Macedonia to be chosen if one agrees attaches importance to mood. However, and that gives the conclusion the uncertainty, just assuming an al m a r c o adjustment of the aini beautiful Dragons that are permeable in themselves is possible. With the average weight of an al pezzo adjustment in Ainos (3.74 g) neither Athens money agrees with this time (drachmas over 4 g) still makedo- nien's money (drachmas 3.62 g). With that Average weight one al marco 3) The previous drachma coinage is 50, maybe even 100 years back, and was like also the first very insignificant; see Table II.
