BRIDGE

. .*.

• • •

Under the name of Bridge (ô n<5vcoç) we designated, from the 1st century âvarif.J.-C, the kingdom of Mithridates, previously called Pontic Cappadocia; the 'different parts of it were successively incorporated into the Roman Empire between 64 âvaotfet^ 64 AD. The administrative boundaries having often varied, we corifoTpCJ- We adhere to the numismatic tradition which assigns the following boundaries to the Pont: î-*.'/ to the north, the Black Sea from the mouth of the Halys to that of the Apsarus "• (Tchorokh); to the east, the Paryadres and Scoedisès mountains; to the south and west, hills and the course of the Halys which separate the Pontus from Tauric Cappadocia, Galatia and of Paphlagonia. However, we will connect Little Armenia to the Bridge properly called (between the Scoedisès and the western Euphrates or Karasou), which was part of it in time of the fall of Mithridates Eupator.

Pontic Cappadocia appears vaguely in history at the beginning of the 6th century as vassal of the Medes; the attempt that Croesus made to seize it led to the fall of the Lydian monarchy. In the Persian Empire, it was first part of the great satrapy of Dascylium (3 rd of Herodotus), then of the satrapy of Cappa- doce, which was detached from it in the 5th century. The tribes of Paryadres (Chalybes, Tibarenes, Macrons, Mosynecs) formed a distinct satrapy, the 19th of Herodotus; the Little Armenia was part of the 13th. On the coast, the Greeks had, since the 6th century, founded numerous colonies, some independent (Amisus), others daughters and tribes Sinope species (Cotyora, Cerasus, Trapezus). In the fifth century, Athens showed several once his pavilion in these parts and Amisus received Athenian clergymen. In 400, the entire coastal region, occupied by the Greeks, the Paphlagonians and the barbarian tribes, had, in fact, thrown off the yoke of the Persians; but, around 375, the authority of the great King was restored by Datame and, from that time until the fall of the Achaeme monarchy, nide, Pontic Cappadocia remained faithful to Persia. The opinion of Strabo (XII, 1, 14), according to which the Persians would have divided Cappadocia into two provinces corresponding regarding the two future kingdoms of Pontus and Cappadocia, is not confirmed by the documents.

The last known satrap of Cappadocia, Mithrobouzanes, perished at Granicus (Arrian, I, 16, 3) \ Alexander appointed a Macedonian satrap, Sabictas, and proclaimed freedom

1. The Cappadocian contingent still appears at Arbeles (Arrian, III, 8, 5), but its leader, Ariaces, is not not called a satrap.

of Amisus. But Sabictas did not succeed in gaining recognition from the populations, and on behind the conqueror, a Persian nobleman from the family of Otanides, Ariarathe, founded in northern Cappadocia a sort of independent state whose capital appears to have been Gaziura. After Alexander's death, Ariarathes was defeated and killed by Perdiccas (322), and for twenty years subject Cappadocia was governed by Eumenes, Nicanor, Amigone or his lieutenants. At the time of the fall of Antigone (3oi), the son of one of his former minions, Mithridates the Persian, first created in the folds of Polgassys (Paphlagonia), then in té # bfcs6in of Iris, a new principality, which, thanks to of the troubles of the iii c .s^cl^',* developed rapidly and established itself as a kingdom. The kingdom of MithA&ij? embraced all of Pontic Cappadocia and a large part of the Paphlago/riê; &u 11th century, it overflowed into Galatia and Tauric Cappadocia and understood at the moment Greater Phrygia. Little Armenia, which had formed, at the in e et.au n e \fecle, a separate state under a dynast or satrap, was incorporated into Pontus by .MHfiridate Eupator; at that time it included the territory of Chalybes and dçsC\Fibarenes (Strabo, XII, 3, 28). The enormous enlargements of this king, who •'-^fcftleft half of Asia Minor and almost the entire perimeter of the Black Sea, ••. \ •“•led to conflict with Rome; the struggle ended after twenty-five years with the *•"* * destruction of the kingdom of Pontus: the descendants of Mithridates only kept the Cimmerian Bosphorus (63 BC).

The organization of the territories conquered on Mithridates underwent numerous reshuffles. ments, according to whether, in the councils of Rome, the systems of annexation, “protected cities” or vassal royalties. Pompey shared almost the entire Pontus and its annexes into eleven ancient or new tributary cities which he attached to the pro- vince of Bithynia (Strabo, XII, 3, 1'). The Galatian Dejotarus obtained with the royal title the coastal region from Halys (less the territory of Amisus), the Chalybes, the Tiba- Renes and Little Armenia \ Comana formed a small independent priestly principality pending. After the defeat of Pharnaces II (47), Caesar made various changes in Pontus. ments of people, but did not touch the distribution of territories; however, he released Amisus and took part of Lesser Armenia from Dejotarus 3 to " connect it to the kingdom of Cappadocia (Dion, XLI, 63; XLII, 48). Mark Antony, master of Asia Minor since 41, made more radical changes. The pos- sessions of Dejotarus (died in 41 or 40), were enlarged (notably of Cabira) and given as a kingdom, in 3g, to a son of Pharnaces, Darius (Appian, Civ., V, 75), then, at the latest in 36 (Dion, XLIX, 25), to Polemon of Laodicea, who obtained, in

II, 79; Philipp., II, 94; Bell, alex.y 67) and this title was confirmed to him by the Clodia law of 58.

besides, Little Armenia (Dion, XLIX, 33 and 44). The high priest of Comana, Lyco- Mede, also received the royal title and a great increase in territory. The cities Pompeian towns of Zela and Megalopolis were abolished and their territory divided between Lycomedes, the Galatian Ateporix (who for his part had the Caranitide) and the high priest of Zela, which became autonomous (Strabo, XII, 3, 17). The other Pontic cities, Amisus (Strabo, 1*., § 14), Amasia (§ 39), were also distributed to “kings”, i.e. probably say to the two Pontic kings and the king of Paphlagonia (Gangra), we do not we know in what proportions; Phazimon-Neapolis passed to Paphlagonia (§ 38).

After the battle of Actium (3rd BC), Augustus was content to free Amisus, to install his creatures in Comana and to take Little Armenia from Polemon to confer it to the Mede Artavasde, in compensation for the Atropatene that had been taken from him the Parthians (Dion, LIV, 9). On the death of Artavasde, in 20, Little Armenia was returned in Cappadocia (Dion, loc. cit.). Polemon kept the rest of his states, perhaps even with an increase, and was admitted, in 26, to the number of friends and allies of the people Roman (Dion, HIM, 25). He perished in 8 BC at the Bosphorus, which he had conquered as well as Colchis; his Asian states passed to his widow Pythodoris. They understand- were born, in the time of Strabo (19-20 AD), the entire coast, except the territory of Amisus (Strabo, XII, 3, § 29), Colchis (XI, 2, 18), the barbarian tribes of Paryadres and, outside, the whole region around Comana (except the holy city itself), it is- that is to say almost the entire territory of the former Pompeian cities of Diospolis (Cabira), Magnopolis (Eupatoria), Megalopolis (upper Halys) and Zela (XII, 3, 37). The chief town was Cabira, who received the name Ze6a

From the reign of Augustus, annexations to Roman territory began. In 19 AD, Strabo counts as provincial territory the ancient principality of Ate- porix (Carana, § 37) and Amasia (§ 39). These annexations date one from 3/2 BC (era of Sebastopolis-Heracleopolis and probably Sebastea), the other from 1 after AD (era of Amasia). Comana was incorporated, as its era proves, in 34 or 35 AD The annexed territories were attached to the imperial province of Galatia and formed the Galatic Bridge, capital of Amasia. The kingdom of Polemon or Pontus Polemoniacus was himself sequestered by Tiberius after the death of Pythodoris (23?), but in 38, Caligula returned it to his grandson, Polemon II (Dion, LIX, 12), in at the same time as Little Armenia to the brother of this prince, Cotys. Polémon obtained still in 59 a piece of Armenia (Tacitus, XIV, 26); shortly after he “gave in” to Nero his kingdom which was reduced to a province (Tacitus, Hist., 111.47; Suetonius, Nero, 18). The era of the Pontic cities proves that this event took place in 64/5. The Little One Armenia, given in 54 to Aristobulus of Chalcis (Tacitus, XIII, 7; Josephus, XX, 8, 4)^ was reduced to a province before 75 (CIL, III, 3o6).

The administrative distribution of the Pontic provinces still experienced various rema- denials which are very obscure. Until the end of the first century the same legate governed, less in general, Galatia, Cappadocia and the two Pontes; when, towards the end of Trajan's reign, Cappadocia was definitively separated from Galatia, the latter

1. Again in 96-99 Pomponius Bassus governs both Ancyra and Amasia (CIL. III, 3og; Eph. epig. V, 82), but in the inscription Eph. ep. V, i3^b, Galatia and Cappadocia are separated. Bellicius Sollers (CIL, III, 291) governs Galatia and the two Pontes, but not Cappadocia.

The first province obtained, if Ptolemy is to be believed, maritime Paphlagonia and the city of Amisus (abducted from Bithynia)'; all the rest was attributed to the province of Cappa- doce. We nevertheless continued to distinguish the Galactic Bridge for quite a long time, the polemonic Pont and a third division which appears for the first time in Ptolemy (under Marcus Aurelius), the Pontus Cappadocicus, comprising the entire coastal region from Hermonassa to Dioscurias. Perhaps, originally, each from these divisions it formed a distinct xotvrfv. Later, the two Bridges are reunited under the common name of Pontus mediterraneus (CIL, V, 8660, around 166) which suggests that the maritime cities had been detached from it. The cities of the interior form a single xotvov with the capital Neocaesarea (Cabira) *; Amasia and, thing curious, Sebastea nevertheless retains honoris causa the title of metropolis. The Little One Armenia formed a separate xotv6v, chaired by an Armenianarch\

Under Diocletian and his successors Pontus formed three provinces of the Pontic dioecesis. tica: i°Diospontus, soon Helenopontus, seven or eight cities, chief town of Amasia; 2 Bridge polemonic, five cities, capital Neocaesarea; 3° Little Armenia or Armenia I rt, five cities, capital Sebastea. This is the state of things described by Hierocles and which was further modified in 535 by Justinian (Nov. 28).

The monetary history of Le Pont can be divided into four periods:

I. Until around 25 o BC. The only mints are Amisus-Piraeus which first minted (fifth-fourth century) Persian centuries, then (mth century) drachmas and trioboles of Rhodian weight, and Trapezus, of which we have, in the 4th century, very rare pieces of silver, which are of strong Persian or weak Aeginetic standard. Around 33o Ariarathe mints a few Persian centuries at Gaziura.

II. Mithridates period (approximately 25o to 64 BC). The king reserves the strike silver (and gold), quite rare under the first reigns, very abundant under Mithri- Eupator date; the standard is Attic, the usual coin the tetradrachm. Among the cities, only Amisus retained for some time the right to coin money. Coinage in bronze is abandoned to the cities which use it widely; known workshops are: in Pontus proper, jEmilium (?), Amasia, Amisus, Cabira, Chabacta, Comana, Gaziura, Laodicea, Pharnacia, Taulara; in Paphlagonia, Abonotichus, Amastris, Pimolisa, Sinope; in Bithynia (?), Dia. All these municipal bronzes present a remarkable conformity in appearance, dimensions, weights and types, borrowed from the cults of Zeus, Pallas, Ares, Dionysus and Perseus.

1. We follow here the nomenclature of Ptolemy (V, 6, 1) according to which Abonotichus, Sinope, Amisus counts at Galatic, but the accuracy of this information has been questioned. Not alone- ment around 112 Sinope and Amisus depend on the governor of Bithynia (Pliny, Ep. ad. Traj. t 90, 92, 1 10), but it is still so, it seems, in 167 of Abonotichus (Lucian, Alex. 5y). See Ramsay, Historical geog., p. 68 and 195.

BRIDGE 5

III. Transitional era (64 BC to 64 AD). The Polémons retain the right to issue silver drachmas, of fairly low weight. Bronze coinage is maintains in the free city of Amisus; everywhere else it is interrupted.

IV. Imperial era (64 to 268 AD). Municipal bronze coinage, imperial effigies, reappears and becomes quite abundant from the Antonines onwards; the at- known links are Amasia, Amisus, Cerasus, Comana (Hierocaesarea), Neocaesarea, Nicopolis, Sebastea, Sebastopolis-Heracleopolis, Trapezus, Zela. Amisus even minted under Hadrian and Antoninus the Pious many silver coins. The mon- Municipal watershed nowhere goes beyond the reign of Gallienus.

The eras used in the Bridge are very varied. On the coins of Mithridates Eupator we find the Bithyno-Pontic era (October 297 BC); on that of Pythodoris an era whose origin is unknown. Amisus adopts Father of October 32 BC, origin of freedom. Everywhere else the origin of the era is that of in- corporation in the provincial territory: in Sebastopolis-Heracleopolis and probably in Sebastea, 2 BC; at Amasia 1 AD; at Comana 34 or 35 AD; in the cities of Polemoniacal Pontus (Cerasus, Neocaesarea, Trapezus, Zela) 64 AD

Neocore cities (which have a provincial temple dedicated to the emperor) are Ama- sie, Neocaesarea (twice neocore), Nicopolis (on inscriptions only); the free cities are Amisus and perhaps Trapezus.

Three cities, Amasia, Neocaesarea, Sebastea are called metropolises on the coins; Nicopolis also takes this title on an inscription. Amasie is called npco-n) nevxoo.

KINGS OF BRIDGE

I. Achaemenid Dynasty

This dynasty had eight kings * up to and including Mithridates Eupator (Appian, Mithr. 112; Rather. Dismissed. 4), which was the sixth of the name (Appian, Mi th. 9). Else Besides, the royal tombs of Amasia are five in number, one of which is unfinished. Like the last kings were buried at Sinope (Appian, Mi th. 1 13) and that this city was conquered by Pharnaces I, there is reason to believe that the unfinished tomb is his and therefore we will draw up the list of the kings of Pontus as follows:

1. Mithridates I Ctists (3o2-266 BC). (Diod., XX, 1 1 1). He is called king from 281 (Memnon, XI, 2).

2. Ariobar\ane, son of the previous one (266-255?). He died shortly after the Byzantine War. undertaken at the beginning of the reign of Antiochus II Theos (261-246) (Memnon, c. 24).

3. Mithridates II, son of the previous one (255?-2 20?). Still a child when his father died (Memnon, loc. ci t.), but a man made in 240 (battle of Ancyra, Eusebius I, 25 1 Schoene); he married his two daughters in 222 (Polybius V, 43; VIII, 22) \

4. Mithridates III, son of the previous one (220?-i85?). Maybe he's the one who attacks Sinope in 220 (Polybius, IV, 56).

5. Pharnaces J er, son of the preceding (i85?-i89). It is mentioned for the first time in spring 1 83/182 (Polybius, XXIV, 10), for the last in winter 170/169 (Polybius, XXVII, i5); this last text has the air of an obituary notice.

1. This conventional designation is based on Mithridates Eupator's claim to descended from Darius son of Hystaspes, by an Artabazus son of Darius. Previously, the Mithridates were content to trace their genealogy to one of the seven Persian lords conspired against the mage. All that we know for certain is that the grandfather of Mithridates of Cius was Ariobarzanes (son of a Mithridates after Diodorus, XV, 90), satrap of the Hellespont (died around 362); his father, Mithridates, born in 386, was killed in 3o2 by Antigone. Through his successive betrayals he had obtained a great situation. tion, first at the court of Persia, then with Eumenes and Antigone, from whom he received the principality of Cius.

2. We cannot draw anything from the texts of Georges Syncelle (p. 275 C and 3i3 D) who counts ten kings having lasted 218 years until world year 5480 (21 BC)

3. Trogus Pompeius (ap. Justin, XXXVIIi, 5, 3) calls Mithridates II the proavus of Eupator, but this word is equivocal (great-grandfather, great-grandfather, ancestor).

KINGS OF BRIDGE 7

6. Mithridates IV Philopator Philadelphus, brother of the previous one (169-150?). Registration capitoline (CI SI 986 a) tells us that he was this son of king Mithridates" and ally of Rome. He married his sister Laodice (currency no. 7). It is probably he who is mentioned in 156 as helping Attalus II against Prusias (Polybius, XXXIII, 10).

7. Mithridates V Evergetes, son of Pharnaces (?) * (i5o?-i2o). His nickname is given by Strabo (X, 4, 10), Appian (Mith. 10) and a lost Detian inscription, CIG 2276.

"He is mentioned for the first time in 149 (Appian, loc. cit.). His death took place in 1 20 or 1 19 depending on whether Eupator is given 57 years of reign (Appian, Mith. 112) or 56 (Pliny, XXV, 7).

8. Mithridates VI Eupator Dionysus, son of the preceding (1 20-63), first associated with his mother and her brother Mithridates Chrestos, has reigned alone since approximately 1 1 3. From 88 to 85 he possessed all of Asia Minor, Thrace, Macedonia, the greater part of Greece and islands. Driven from his hereditary States in 7 1, he returned there in 67 for the lose definitively in 66.

9. Pharnaces II % son of the previous one (63-47), only succeeded his father in the kingdom bosporan. In 48, he took advantage of the civil war to reconquer the Pont and its annexes, but defeated at Zela by Caesar (August 2, 47) he returned to die at the Bosphorus. The currencies, — gold staters on the reverse of seated cithared Apollo, — bear the dates pon- ticks 243 to 247 (55 to 5 1 BC) and were therefore all struck at the Bosporus. They will not be found in this Collection.

10. Darius, son of the preceding (39-37?), was made king of Pontus by Antony (Appian, Civ. V, 75), but from 36 Polemon succeeded him (Dion, XLIX, 25). His brother Arsace attempted to raise the Bridge, but was taken at Sagylium, near Amasia, by Polemon and Lycomedes (Strabo, XII, 3, 38). With him ended the Achaemenid dynasty\

The coins of the kings of this dynasty are mainly tetradrachms silver of Attic weight; we also find some drachmas (Mithridates III, Phar- nace I, Mithridates VI) and gold staters (Mithridates II? and VI) \ Types, first copied from those of Alexander the Great (Mithridates I or II, Mithridates III) become

1. If it is correct that Eupator was the grandson of Pharnaces (Justin, XXXVIII, 6, 2). We have often searched to identify Philopator and Evergetes, but cf. Review »ti*m., 1902, p. 52 following.

2. Dynamis, daughter of Pharnaces, married successively Asander, Scribonius and Polemon, and was nominally, since this last marriage (14), queen of Pontus; but its single currency, a stater gold of the Pontic year 281 (17 BC)> was struck immediately after the death of Asander, in the Bosphorus.

3. There are no bronzes of some of the Mithridates, but it is not impossible that it should be attributed to the first kings of the dynasty the thick bronzes which have the type of a head topped with a helmet in leather and on the reverse a large star with 8 spokes; letters, monograms and various countermarks. We will find descriptions of the uncertain pieces which will be grouped in the last part of this Collection.

S KINGS OF BRIDGE

then original and change with each reign: under Pharnaces a “panthean” god who brings together the attributes of Hermes and Dionysus; under Mithridates IV, Perseus, ancestor legendary of the Persians; under Mithridates VI, first Pegasus — the horse born of the blood of the Gorgon killed by Perseus - then the stag of Artemis, borrowed, it seems, from the coins of Ephesus; the ivy crown recalls the king's second nickname (Dionysus). On almost all coins since Mithridates III appears, moreover, as a sort national symbol, a star (sun) in a crescent moon.

The coins of Mithridates Eupator since 96 BC (and those of his successors) sisters at the Bosphorus) are dated according to an era whose starting point was determined by Frœlich (cf. Eckhel, II, 38i): two coins of Sauromates II in the Cabinet of France bear the same year 413, Tune with the effigy of Trajan (Mionnet, Suppl. No. io5), the other with that of Hadrian (No. 106). As the change of reign took place in Cilicia on August 8 or 9, 1 17, it was certainly known at Panticapaea before the equinox autumn; the Bosporan year 413 therefore corresponds to 116/117 AD and the origin of the era is the fall of 297 BC (457 Rome). The same era appearing on the Bithynian coins since 149 BC, we must conclude that the era is originally Bithynian gine and probably commemorates the taking of the royal title by Zipoetes. The coins of Mithridates Eupator, by a refinement borrowed from tetradrachms attics, also give the indication of the month of issue (numeral letters of A to ir = 1 to i3). On certain coins of this prince struck during the period of its greatest expansion (88-85), we find employed an era of conquest or T “franchise” which, it seems, originated in Pergamum, October 89/8 before AD, in Athens July 88/7 '.

II Zenonid Dynasty.

1. Polemon I Eusebius (36-8 BC), son of the rhetorician Zeno of Laodicea. King of a part of Cilicia since 39, of Pontus and Little Armenia since 36 (he lost the latter province in 3oj, of the Cimmerian Bosphorus since 17. The date of its death seems marked by the beginning of the series of Bosporan staters in monogram 2fc (289 Pont = 9-8 BC)

2. Pythodoris Philometor (8 BC to 23? AD), second wife and widow of the preceding tooth, daughter of Pythodorus de Tralles and Antonia (daughter of Marc Antony). After the death of her husband, she reigns alone, associating herself with business, but not with the crown, one of her sons, Polémon, who appears to have died before her. Pythodoris married in second marriage Archélatts, king of Cappadocia (died 17 AD); she lived

1. Coins minted in various countries belong to the same period and which attest to the extension of Mithridatic influence: 1st bronze from Smyrna (Mionnet, Descr. n* 12 10) with the effigy of Mithridates; 2* Tetradrachm of Athens (Beulé, p. 237) with the names Ba

still at the time when Strabo published his work (19/20); drachmas dated Tryphaena seem to fix the death of Pythodoris at Tan 22/3.

3. Antonia Tryphaena (22/3?-49?), daughter of Polemon I and Pythodoris, widow fcirca 19) of Cotys the Sapean, king of the Thracians Odryses. On the death of Pythodoris (22/3?), Tiberius sequestered Pontus, and Tryphaena settled in Cyzicus. She appears to have returned to Pontus with her son Polemon II when it was restored in 38/9 î e ^' e ^ ut associated by him with the crown. The time of his death seems marked by the beginning of drachmas with the regnal years of Polemon III.

5. Polemon 7/(38-64), second son of Antonia Tryphaena and Cotys le Sapéen. Cama- youth of Caligula, he was restored by him, at the end of 38, to the throne of Bridge; he also obtained the Bosphorus, which Claudius took back from him in 41. Polemon reigned first jointly with his mother, then (since 49?) alone. In 64, he was stripped of his Pontic states by Nero and relegated to the Cilician principality which he had obtained from 41 in exchange for the Bosphorus.

The coins of the Zenonides are almost exclusively light drachmas (approximately ron gr. 3.5o); Polémon Ha struck a single didrachm (n° 34). Under Polemon I coins bear the effigy of the king and a type of reverse (star, Pegasus); under Pythodoris the royal or imperial effigy and signs of the Zodiac; under Antonia Tryphaena and Polemon II, the effigy of the king alone or of the king and his mother; finally, under Polemon II alone, the effigy of the emperor (or empress) and that of the king, which is sometimes missing.

The coins of Polemon I are not dated. On those of Pythodoris appears an unknown era, perhaps cesarean section. The coins of Tryphaena struck under Caligula bear, it seems, the regnal dates of this princess, counted from the death of his mother. Those of Polemon III bear his regnal years counted since October 38.

1. The attribution of this stater to Mithridates Ctists, proposed by Waddington, is not certain. The acronyms of the first line I — KO are found identically (as he himself noted) on a Rhodian hemidrachm from Amisus which does not appear earlier than the second half of the 111th century. The aurcus, despite the absence of a royal portrait and the archaic order of the terms of the legend, could therefore belong to Mithridates II (if not to Mithridates III).

COMMUNITY PONTI

After the formation of the Galatic Bridge (2 BC and 1 AD), the cities of this territory tory probably constituted a xotvov whose presidency belonged to Amasie. When the Polemonic Pontus was incorporated in turn (64/5 AD), it formed a new xotviv whose capital was Neocaesarea. At an unknown time, perhaps only under the last Antonines, the two xotvi were merged into one whose headquarters was in Neocaesarea as proven by the numerous coins minted in this town with the legend xotvov DoVcou without any other designation. We know, moreover, by the inscriptions (Inscr. gr. ad rom., nos. 107 and 1 1 5) that Comana and Sebastopolis, although classified by Ptolemy in the Galatic Pontus, appeared in the xotvov of Neocesa- ree; according to the coins of Neocaesarea, it included three other cities, pro- probably Sebastea, Zela and Amasia. As for the towns on the coast, even those which counted in the province of Cappadocia or that of Bithynia, it is probable that they were part of another Pontic xotvov, that of Yora pontica, which, according to one inscription of Heraclea (BCH, XXII, 492 = Inscr. gr. ad rom., n° 79) numbered ten cited, perhaps Chalcedon, Heraclea, Tium, Amastris, Abonotichus, Amisus (pon- tarque, according to Inscr. gr. ad rom., n° 97), Sinope (similarly, n° 95), Polemonium, Cerasus, Trapezus.

Very rare coins in the name of the xoivov IIôVcoj were struck without the name of the city the advent of Marcus Aurelius; the place of emission is surely Neocaesarea; we Let us nevertheless classify them separately. The era used is that of the annexation of the controversial Bridge. niac (64/5 AD)

AMASIA 27

Cappadocian. In the time of Antony, Amasia was given “to kings” (Strabo, XII, 3" 39)" that is to say undoubtedly first to Darius, then to Lycomedes: it is close of Amasia, in Sagylium, in Phazimonitide, that these two kings defeated the pretender Arsace (ib. § 38). At the time of Strabo (19/20 AD) the territory of Amasia was became a Roman province. The occasion of this annexation is unknown, but the date, the era of Amasia, can be determined with certainty. We have, in fact: i° coins of Septimius Severus with dates 208, 209; 2 of the coins of Geta Augustus with the date 208. Geta obtained this title in 209 AD. AD, its coins of 208 Clusters., were therefore struck at the earliest in 208/9, at P^ us tarc * in 209/10; (because if they were of 210/n, those of 209 Clusters, would be 21 1/12, which is impossible since Severe died in February 211). From then on, we only have the choice, for the origin of the era, between Oct. 1 and Oct. 2 A.D. But the era of Oct. 2 is impossible, because there are coins of Severus Alexander with the date 234 Amas., which would then correspond to 235/6: or Alexander died in March 235. The era of Amasia therefore originated in October 1 after AD — Amasia is titled on its inscriptions (Inscr. gr. ad rom. y 100) and on its currencies (since Hadrian): metropolis (of the Galatic Bridge); she kept this title even when the effective presidency of the Pontic xoiv<5v had passed to Neocaesarea. Since Diocletian it is the capital of Diospontus (Hélénopont). On Amasia coins is called “pure*) tou nlvxou (since Antoninus the Pious), veu>x<5po<; (since Marcus Aurelius), 'A8p(tave(a) (also since Marcus Aurelius) ', 'A$p. £eu(i)ps(a) 'Avr(umve(») under Severus and Caracalla, 'A$p. 2su. , AXeÇ(av$pe(«) under Severus Alexander.

Amasia struck bronzes, first in the time of Mithridates Eupator, then in very small quantity under Augustus and Domitian, abundantly from Trajan until Severe Alexander. Bronzes from the imperial era are always dated. Among the remarkable types, we must cite the perspective view of the city (n* 101), which agrees with all points with the description of Strabo, and the numerous representations of a monumental two-story pyre or altar, flanked by a tree and surmounted by an eagle or a divine quadriga: we must recognize the altar of a local god identified by the Greeks to Zeus Stratios, by the Persians to Ahura Mazda and who played a big role in the cult of Mithridates. The quadriga is that which the myth of the Magi (Dion Chrysostom, XXXVI, 39) attributed to the supreme god; the altar or pyre is perhaps the one we seen at the top of the mountain on coin No. 101 \

We should also note legend no. 53, which attributes the founding of the city to Hermes. — The silver coin from the time of Severus (n° 52) is a very exceptional singularity - beautiful and seems to be only silver.

1. We can assume that the imperial temple, dedicated to Hadrian, was only completed under Marcus Aurelius.

2. See, for this explanation, Cavedoni, Bull. corr. arch. % 1840, p. 70; Cumont, Revue de Thist. of religions, 1901, p. 5a seq. Dedications to Zeus Stratios were found by Mr. Cumont in surroundings of Amasia; there is one in Athens, from four citizens of Amasia (CIA, III, aoi).

AMISUS

C H 'àjakhSç (ethnic 'Ajakjtjv^c), today Samsoun, on the coast, near the mouth Chure of Lycastus (Mera Irmakj.

Amisus was founded by the Ionians of Phocaea or Miletus in 562 BC. It had as “second founder” a satrap of Cappadocia, and then received, probably in the middle of the 5th century, an Attic clergy led by Athenocles; she then took the name of Piraeus (Iletpateuç). Threatened around 375 by Datame (Polyen, VII, 21, 1), it must be then fell under the dependence of the Persians who undoubtedly installed an oligarchy there or a tyrant. Alexander the Great reestablished democracy (Appian, Mith. 8; Plutarch, LuculL, 19), and Antigone delivered her from Cassander who was besieging her in 3 1 5 (Diod. XIX, 57); sixty years later (255) Amisus is subject or at least dependent on Mithridates (Memnon, c. 24). Under Mithridates Eupator, who enlarged it by a suburb provided with a separate enclosure (Eupatoria), Amisus even became a royal residence. In 71 BC, after a fierce siege, both cities were taken by Lucullus; he destroyed Eupatoria, but relieved Amisus and gave him a territory of 1 20 stadia length. Pompey attached Amisus to the province of Bithynia-Pontus (64). Besieged and devastated by Pharnaces in 48 (Appian, Mith., 120; Civ., II, 91), Amisus, as reward of his loyal attitude, was declared by Caesar a free city, that is to say exempt from tribute (Dion, XLII, 48; Strabo, XII, 3, 14); nevertheless, Marc Antony gave it “to kings” (Darius?), then to a tyrant, Strato, who mistreated her badly. After the battle of Actium (3i), Augustus restored her freedom (Strabo) which she retained until the end of antiquity \ It nominally depended, first on the province of Bithynia, then, if we are to believe Ptolemy (V, 4, 2) \ that of Galatia, finally (under Diocletian and his successors) of Hélénopont *. Amisus, in Persian times, had the only workshop

1. From Phocaea according to Scymnus (v. 917), from Miletus according to Theopompus (p. 202, ap. Strabo XII, 3, 14). The currency of alliance with Miletus (n° 1 3o) seems to confirm this last tradition.

3. Mr. Cumont has put forward good reasons against this alleged change (Rev. et. gr. XVI, 25). Let us add that Ptolemy gives Iris as the border of the provinces of Galatia and Cappadocia (V, 6, 2), which would imply that the territory of Amisus was divided between the two provinces, since the Ther- modon (at Test de l'Iris) appears on our coin No. 112 (Scptimc Sévère).

4. In the time of Strabo the territory of Amisus included, from Halys, half of Gazelonitide, Saramene, Themiscyra, Sidene as far as Phabda. She had to lose this last district when Side

currency of the Cappadocian coast: we also see Datame promising his troops take them there to monetize the ingots he had seized. The coinage does not include hardly began until the end of the 5th century and the city took the name of Piraeus which it kept undoubtedly until Alexander; the coins are Medicinal shekels (weight 5 gr. 60); the owl on the reverse recalls the Athenian cleruchy. After Alexander, Amisus strikes without city name, but with the same types as before, drachmas and trioboles of Rhodian weight: these broadcasts were made, in part, under the patronage of the first Mithridates, because we find there certain monograms characteristic of their coins and even (n° 9) the words BA(<"M

After the Roman conquest, Amisus first minted coins under the supervision and names of the proconsuls of Bithynia (Carbon, 61-59 BC; Cornutus, 56). Under the empire, in addition to an abundant series of bronzes with imperial effigies, it strikes in small number, but in all periods (until 253 AD) self-made bronzes nomes of various types; she even obtains quite exceptional permission (under Hadrian and Antoninus) to issue silver coins of dubious quality and standard uncertain. On all these currencies Amisus takes care to assert its quality as a city free by the legend 'Ajju

Among the remarkable monetary types it is necessary to point out the types of alliance with Rome (no. 45 and 46) and with Miletus (no. i3o), the Thermodon (no. 1 12), the picturesque view (n° 90) with the hills and the temple of Zeus, and the Tyche of the city posing a gou- vernail on a head sometimes bearded, sometimes beardless, almost always horned (or decorated of lobster claws?), which symbolizes the Euxine Bridge or Thalassa (n° 81, etc.).
