N®. 3 a, door the same date, but it offers the head of Tiberius; which indicates sth" two medals were struck in the last year of Aognste’s reign and the first of that of Tiberius. These two medals serve to explain query the date S. (60). Augustus is dead, like Ion knows, at least of August of the year of Rome 767, 14 AD. Since at that time cou- was the year 60, marked on the medals of Pytbodoris, and that this star a “commonly used received in the East from start the years in autumn, Celtic year 60 avoil so started dan» the autumn of the year of Rome 766, i 3 of J.-C. Now, if from the year 76C we remove 60 years old me, we 5g years, we will find qoe the new era Bridge, to which relates the date in question, had to start in the year of Rome 707, 47 BC This year is, in fact, famous by the victory that Caesar won from Pbarnacc II at Zéla , and he is very credible that it was this event which gave link to the establishment of the new era in the Bridge. This era is not found elsewhere that on the medals of Queen Pytbodoris and on another of Polemon II, minted at Sarbanissa. See above , p. 455. N ft '. ao6.

Kings of the Bosphork. 479 KINGS OF THE BOSPHORUS. The classification of the Medals of the Kings of Bosphorus being suscep- tible today of improvement, by snite of the discoveries which have summer done, we thought it necessary to give here a new description little bit of writing near complete; however we return, at the top of each kingdom, an body of the work, as we have always days done, and we do the same in the course of the description, so that we can perceive more easily the movements of medals which were brought about by this new work. SAVROMATS I. (Get on the throne at the Bosphorus a short time later the death of Polemon and reigned at least until the year of Rome 763 we 764, 10 or 11 AD) (a) Gold medals awarded to Sauromate /", (a) This results from the dates on which the gold medals awarded bear to Sauromate I«r , and described here under the first seven issues. The first of these dates corresponds to the years of Rome j 55 and 756, a and 3 AD, and 1a last in the years of Rome 763 and 764, 10 and 1 1 of AD If we believe the medals, N**. 8 and g, which are corner modern, Sauromate I«f still reigned in the year of Rome 766 or 767, i3 on 14 of J,-C. However, it is hardly possible to extend further the reign of this prince, without tightening in limits too much narrow oe of his successor Sauromate II, of which there is a fairly large number of medals. In indeed, the latter, of which the medals do not bear point of dates , could not reign beyond the year of Rome 76g on 770, 16 oa *7 of since it is to these years that corresponds the first date of Rhescuporis II. It should be noted that the an- born from the Bosphorus era always correspond to two consecutive years cultures of Rome or the Christian era, since it is recognized which begin in the fall.

According to this, he it is no longer possible to doubt that the Queen Gépæpyris is the wife of Mithridates, and not that of Sanromate I". These observations support the opinion we have progress in the March issue of the Bulletin des Sciences i8?8, relative almost similar medal published in the Odessa newspaper, in February and March 1827; However, having seen to Paris an imprint of this very crude medal, we must add ter what we appeared of a larger diameter; what could give rise to the idea that there are counterfeits of the me- stone from the Theupoli Museum.

This distinction, let's maintain here , with this difference which we also report to Cotys III the medal of the year Si 7, by the reason that on this medal, as on those which precede it, the head of the king is young and hairless, while on those which have later dates it is old and bearded. The Cotys IV medals will not start so sb with the date 5*8. (c) The date 5iS corresponds to the years of Rome 981 and 98a, and to the years 983 and 984 that the date 5*7 belongs.

Figure seated on a seat , right , holding a of Severus Alexander must have arrived around the month of July of the year of Rome 988, and we have just seen that it is before the antomn of the jnth year that Ininthimeyns must have succeeded Rbescuporis V. It is therefore the head of Maximin , rather than that of Severus Alexander , that we see on the medals of Ininthimeyus marked with the date 53 1 ; it is, on the contrary, the head of Severus Alexander, rather than that of Maximin, which is on the reverse of Rhescoporis V. (“) This head offers a very remarkable singularity: we cannot recognize Gordian the Pious there, because of the bushy beard; this beard is not suitable for this prince, who only rode on the throne” and who was still very young. The head looks more like that of Commodus; but as it cannot be this prince, because of the time, we can only see a head of a divinity: it is perhaps to be Hercules, with the cane of the club.
