The collection of ancient Greek coins, which includes a part in the Grand Ducal Baden Court and State Library located in the coin cabinet, and among the German ones public cabinets, which occupies about sixth place, is contrary to Currently divided into three separate departments. Den The first part is the old Margravial, now Grand Ducal collection, the other comes from Professor Friedrich Creuzer in Heidelberg, and the third and most important one exists in the former Schttler collection.

Last autumn I was granted this beautiful cabinet to be viewed in more detail; and with pleasure I am now following an invitation that has been sent to me To publish a number of unedited or rare pieces of the same. At the same time, I use this opportunity where there are connections Points also offer some related pieces to those coins other collections, or reports from time to time to attach instructions.

To designate the various departments in which The coins from the Carlsrnher Cabinet that need to be described are find, I will remember the abbreviations Grossh. S., Crz. S. and see. S. operate.

Julius Friedlaender wrote in the Vienna Numismatic Times publication II p. 346 a coin was published, which on the obverse side one marked as Apollo by the laurel wreath Head, on the back the inscription HToAEMAHEÜN and shows a two-handled bowl with a bird next to its feet sits. The coin is shown again in this magazine VI p. 55 and p. 239; see also Sallet, ibid. p. 265. Friedlaender rightly sees the bird as Apollo's raven recognized; the combination of the same with the vessel calls, however, for a special explanation. It will be for the same It is not irrelevant that there is a problem in the earlier discussions. There is a legend in which the coin was not used Apollo's raven appears connected to a cup.

Two Mithridates of Armenia.

I. Mithridates Kalliuikos.

Following Friedlaender's suggestion that so far the... Coin given to Mithridates Kallinikos by Commagene don't know the second half of the first century BC. BC can belong, but must be older, I pointed to the one from Polybius VIII, 25. 2 mentioned the sister son of Antioch Great, who is called Mithridates there, and to Xerxes Sophene should receive the rule.

Polybius' message is from Visconti and Langlois was used to create the other Berlin mithridate coin to be allocated to princes of Lesser Armenia. Both keep it that way proven that this Xerxes contemporary Antiochus IV. Epiphanes was (Langlois, Numismat. de FArm6nie, Paris 1959, p. 14. 20), and put him around 174 - 164 BC. BC

But it is certain that, as Froelich already assumed and G. Müller expressed in the arrangement of the fragments, the passage of Polybius refers to Antioch the Great, and the events mentioned there around the year 215 BC. BC fall.

The deciding factor is fragment 53 of Joannes Antiochenus: Hm xata %bv XQOvov ote slwißag Inokinu xolg 'Pwnalotg, jiv- thxog 6 trjg Ivqiag fiaoiXevg vno JJtoXt^aiov tov Aiyv7ttUov CLQ%ov%og Tiokmovtuvog, Eif^j t(p *AQn$viwv tvQavvij) zfjv havtov ädei.iffjv ovvotxrjoag, hteirop piiv dia tfjg afaXtpffi dtexQrjaaro.

BC Antiochus his Sister Antiochis the young [veavlaxog) Xerxes' wife and it was in the possession of his father's 1 ] Empire of Hess, to unite him in this way, while his councilors had recommended him to dethrone Xerxes and Armenia to give to the mithridate, 8g rji> viog Ttjg ddeXcprjg avzov xata yvoiv.

Justin actually means the little son of Antiochus Seleucus III, who gave P. Gardner the coins with the child's head and the peculiar tripod (PI. VIII, 1, 2 and I would like add XI, 2) zathheilt. Rather, he had been with Lao since 221 Dike was married by Pontius, his niece, the following year gave birth to a son (Droysen, Epigonen 2nd edition p. 395, Anin.), and was therefore in the mid-twenties around 215.

I had to discuss this fact because Polybius was still silence suggests the question: who was the father of Mithridate if his mother was Antiochus' sister? I believe: it was Antioehus the Great himself. He had committed the youthful prank before his marriage to Laodice, with the Antiochis a common one according to the usage of the time Sibling marriage xata

My Mithridates Kallinikos will be - after he grew up at the court of Arsamosata — eighteen years later mentioned again as the son of Antiochus.

The explanatory inscriptions on the denarii the republican period.

There was originally only one found on the Roman denarii only inscription, which is on a panel in the section of the back Roman written word ROMA, which is the name of the pre- local community and thereby legalizes the coin. But gradually other inscriptions appear, initially those which indicates the name of the mint or the name of the mint standing officers. The former are not around for long remained in use because there was soon only a single mint, that existed in Rome, but the latter are always more detailed has become, which is just as much the result of the desire of the monetary to make their names known, rather than with the intention of individual emissions by precise description of each other differentiate, explained. To this one glass of inscriptions This is then joined by a second one, which is for legalization has no meaning but serves to appear on the coins to explain the types shown. Since they are not just for the presentation positions is very important, but also some in the Roman Epigraphy, as far as I know, otherwise unknown peculiarities I would like to deal with them in more detail here and especially try to understand the causes of those property to brighten things up.

The oldest denarii could do without them because their types: Head of the Roma, riding castors, on biges or quadrigens traveling deities are easy to understand in themselves and also that were little subject to change. But as it becomes more and more It became the custom to issue one or even several new denarii for each denarius issue To give types, the need arose for explanations captions. According to Monimsen's newest order of denarii There are two such inscriptions on Denarii of the III. period (620 - 640 d.St.) Nos. 146 and 180, twice as many on denarii IV.

They are usually in the coin field, several times but they also apply to parts of the represented objects themselves written on shields in those two earliest denarii, where they then give the names of their owners. The most Most of the inscriptions contain names at all, be it the god be it the ancestors whose representations accompany them. For the gods, simple names were enough, the name of the Later, titles and dignities were often added to ancestors or combined them with the mention of monuments and in- stitutions that trace their origin to the ancestors in question. thanked.

lj On some later denarii, Roma is apparently no longer as it used to be as the name of the defining community but as an explanatory script of the type on Eii, cf.

Likewise, the Roman The Greek Venns have no name, but the Erycinian one lacks one No epithet (cf. the name Jovis Axur on the late denarius Cohen. Vibia 13).

About these often strange ones I will not go into explaining the changes more clearly here the Republican denarii limit, but the material to be added, which the denarii from Caesar's time offer. The change is easy if the later monetary value is the one from the name written abbreviated to the predecessor in full. writes more constantly, or vice versa, cf. Pietas in Cohen Heren- nia 1 and Postumia 8. 9, Libertas in Cohen Cassia 7. 10. II and Junia 12, Hispania at Nos. 250 b and 286 b. More beach tung deserves that some monetaryists use the case of the name have changed by using them instead of in the coin inscriptions The regularly used nominative was replaced by the genitive. So let us read Salutis No. 279, Concordiae No. 304, Honoris Cohen Lollia 1, Libertatis at Cohen Lollia 2. and Vibia 15. But these names are not found on the denarii shown for the first time, rather there are older denarii on which the deities in question have already been named and how usually in the nominative, cf.

believe, unwitnessed, at least in the examples known to me never completely explain the long word to the small coin written out so that nothing prevents the nominative Felicitas instead of the genitive. In the two royal names finally, which one can see at the aces of C. Marcins Censorinns No. 230, Mommsen's reading, as he himself notes, gives way from the publication by Cohen, where one does not use the genitive, but reads the nominative. Note, however, that the Name of Nuraa Pompilins on the reverse of denarius No. 201 is already found in the nominative, so can the genitives that ace does not restrict the assumption that the latter case when a name is repeated on a younger coin was needed 1). This request receives the best confirmation but would take the denarius minted in 735 with the Caption in dative: HONORI cf. Cohen Durmia 1 - 4; a later monetary has the second case of this word let the third follow. Apparently there is a problem here agreed intention to vary the name inscriptions, her But the purpose could hardly have been anything other than this the one on which, in my opinion, all changes are made Types such as in epigraphs aim to make the precise distinction of individual monetary issues.

A second no less strange variation of names

Except the coins, on which the name of Liberia in full or abbreviated, in no- can be read minative or in the genitive, there is also solehty which have the inscription LEI BERT AS, see Cohen Cassia 14. 15, Servilia 7. The modification is not the case here ending but made to the vowel of the stem, by putting an El in place of the simple I. This one The spelling has the appearance of antiquity, but one You would be wrong if you gave the denarii in question a higher value Age wanted to settle ; According to Mommsen's regulations, they stir Denarii with El from the years 710 - 712, while those with the simple I extend to the year 711. Like that Republican Party at that time was eager to promote freedom to celebrate, this was the type of Liberia's followers chosen particularly frequently, and, to vary the caption, Some economists resorted to this spelling. An analogy We meet the use of the El several more times, so I have one There is no particular archaistic tendency among those monetary would like to suspend.

Other peculiarities show the later republican niche denarii, which still contain types and names of deities have on their backs. Press two such labels already in their shape that they have on the front Names or types located closely connected, so to speak are only a part of him. On the back of No. 203 you can read the word under the depiction of a seated Victoria VICTRIX, which in its adjectival form can only be understood It becomes clear when you look at it with the label Roma, which is on the Front stands, connects and as a type of back predicate taken from the page for that inscription.

Valetudo is not used here, as Mommsen suggests. is increasingly inclined to be a homonym of the Roman Salus, otherwise be the common name of a hygiene statue in Rome. It seems to me^ are on the two backs discussed not so much the deities in question as two specific ones Statues depicted and named by them. Finally there is two backs with names of countries. Reach for No. 258 Two women, identified as Roma and Italia, meet Hands, on No. 282 a Roman general sets himself on the ground sunken woman, Sicilia rises again. Both denarii are on Types of gods with explanatory inscriptions on the front, and The names of Roma and Italia are indeed those of Honos and Virtus, and the name of Sicilia the one of Virtus opposite, so even the number of words on both pages is the same and it appears as if the image The writing on the front emphasizes that on the back. would have called.

Historical names, the back is the main page, apparently because from the beginning they were the only place for their own names monetary downhill. Because those representations and captions are closely following the names of the monetary investors. Apart from the fact that the historical figures, which are mentioned, always in a certain relationship to the monetary stand, their names are often chosen so that they reflect that The mint masters' own names should be as similar as possible. The latter found Such names are naturally easiest among their ancestors, However, they have not limited themselves to the same, but also reached for others; found on some denarii of this class Namely, men are depicted and named who are not Relatives, but only as eponyms or namesakes of the Monetary and his family are to be understood.

The label with which we also use this grater The name to begin with is just a simple one Initial, the letter M, see No. 146. But you connect them this episemon of a rider piercing his opponent the name of the Monetary C. Serveilius, one will not be two- It seems that the famous ancestor of the latter, M. Servilius Cos. 552 in one of his many victorious individual battles is provided. One initial was enough for the first name. The inscription is longer, but on the other hand even more conoissed No. 155, where an equestrian statue of the name W*AEMILJO UEP is surrounded. These words are because in the dative represents, initially directly as the dedication inscription for the equestrian statue, but at the same time they also have to understand the name of the monetary, otherwise it would be entirely on the coin would be missing. The distinctive O also corresponds to this the dative ending in Aemilio has a much smaller form than that remaining letters, so that it was still overlooked by Eekhel- that is.

Lepidus, who killed an enemy as puer and saved a citizen, for which he placed a statue on the Capitol was honored. The series celebrating him is the most common and imitates the denarius of M' Lepidus stricte, using the additional notes also surrounded by an equestrian statue and apparently whose dedication inscription is taken. You just can't Overlooking the increase in fame that lies in the fact that the Statue of M. Lepidus is not that of a man, but one is puer. The two are also in the same rivalry* their series added. The monetarist M. Lepidus wants to show that the ancestors homonymous to him in number and fame exceed that of M' Lepidus.

On the denarius of L. Pomponius Molo No. 201 can be found the old King Numa is presented as the sacrificer with his name inscribed provided. According to Plutarch Numa 21 there was a tradition, according to whom the king also had one in addition to his daughter Pompilia had a son Pompo, so he was the ancestor or eponym of the gens Pomponia was.

All that remains to be mentioned is a denarius number 303, there He is above a biga, with Mommsen Numa as its leader believed to recognize, the label IVDEX shows. That instead If a different designation is chosen for the name, seems to me to serve to support Mommsen's explanation. support.

On the older denarii No. 146 and 155 considered so far. In 201 the ancestors were only identified by their names, officially No actual titles could be found here yet. This will be different later become; only Sulla's son still has his father later named without title. As a young monetarist, he coined around 690 two series of denarii, the types of which relate to the prisoners took Jugurthas, his father's most celebrated success in his involve youth. The only caption he added was his father's and his own name in the shortest and best-sounding way version as Felix and Faustus, the two series are based on speaking each one once on the front and on the Back. As is well known, Felix isn't an easy one either Cognomen, but an honorary title for Sulla. Moreover, it was Long before Faustus coined, his father was depicted on coins posed and labeled with various titles, namely on the one shaped by his subordinate generals, the two Manlii Gold pieces and denarii, which are not for circulation in the capital, but should be used for war purposes.

Driga travelers not for Sulla but for Jupiter, but would Jupiter here without any attribute, especially without his Lightning, so be unrecognizable. I therefore stand with Cavedoni, Nuovi Studii p. 17, stick to Eckhel's interpretation by telling me especially the analogy on the one hand of the older Quaestor C. Fnndanius denarius No. 106, on the other hand the later Aureus marked MAGNVS PROCOS No. 245 seems to be crucial. All of these coins are from general or whose quaestors formed abroad The denarius No. 1 96 is, as Borghesi showed, Mariu8 , triumph shown, on the Aureus No. 245 nobody is shown the trram- misunderstand the phirizing Pompey.

The fact that the There seems to me to be no triumph that Quaestor is anticipating here To offer obstacles, on the contrary I would like to believe that Svlla's Quaestor is with this anticipation just Marius' Quaestor wanted to preempt; In any case, it will mark the early triumph of powerful man who has already been proclaimed emperor for unquestionable have held faulty.

The title Dictator can be found on the ones under consideration- not the denarii again, but the title of emperor. That one L. Manlius contented himself with the abbreviation IMP or IM. You can then read the title written out completely on Kr. 296, where under one that was probably made up of weapons from oriental peoples Tropaeon the inscription reads C HEHMIVS IMPERATOR. Req No. 286 b it is abbreviated again, but has other titles next to it see, namely C CALDVS IMP-AV-X, which Mommsen adds C. Caldus Emperor Augur Decemvir, so that two priests loaned Would be added, and the number has also changed in type of the tropes shown enlarged by one. On a fourth Denarius the word Emperor is completely omitted and only the Number indicates how often the ancestor in question used this title had obtained, cf. No. 280 a with the inscription PAVLLVS TER. As I believe, these modifications are not accidental and ouch not unimportant, as they give good clues for the investigation the historical order of the various emissions 1 ). Military bang of an ancestor is otherwise only on No. 290 a noted. Under a scene in which a rider trying to protect a foot soldier against an opponent, you read N4 FONT (one) TR«MIL.

We have already presented priestly honors on 2 denarii mentioned in passing, on No. 280a there is only one such, on No. 286b there are three, but they are distributed among two people. The inscription on No. 280a was M. Lepidus Tutor regis S. C. Pontifex maximus. As in these words, so also occurs in type the priestly dignity back against the extraordinary official office conferred by the Senate, because the picture does not show us the Pontifex Maximus in a priestly activity, but the guardian who presents his royal ward with the diadem decorates. Likewise, on denarius no. 286b only the tro- paeen, not the priestly insignia of the C. Caldus Emperor Augur Decemvir presented; but on this inscription and image-rich denarius and also an ancestor who had a held a mortal office, named and also in a function the same shown.

To the late»! The relevant denarii is in the name of the consulate the keep the same spelling as here, the abbreviation COS could not be changed as the official one, but on other differences in the writing of the supplement are missing it is not the case here either. This is what is on the back of the denarius from Marcellinus No. 308 the number of consulates that the previous reached, attached: MARC EU-VS COS-QVINQ. The Monetary Messalla, on the other hand, which is located on the front of No. 277, wrote PATRE COS on the back. So instead of the name he gave the degree of relationship connecting him with the consul, and by changing him to the ablative he also used the inscription as a time marker for its imprint, a process that unfortunately is not repeated. Finally, on the backs of the two denarii numbers 273 and 274 is the consul C. Hupsaeus from his descendant through a Celebrated epigraph, which contains a complete sentence. There the mutual relationship between the two denarii and their components Although this concept has not yet been sufficiently explained, a one-off More detailed consideration is not missing here. The descendant of that Cousuls, the monetarist P. Plautius Hupsaeus has twice in the of the Senate, initially without any other office clothe, then as Aedilis curulis.

Hapsaens Cos Privernam cepit, then on No. 273 not as Mommsen thinks, C. Hupsaeus Cos - Price- vernum captum, but C. Hnpsaeo Cos. Preivernum captam. The older denarius contains the consnl's name in the nominative, the younger in the ablative, so the reading agrees with the above Observations about the case change.

The captions, which do not belong to the highest officials but other than calling a praetor or an aedile are limited not on these titles, but add the institutions, because of which the monetaryists among their ancestors were precisely those named have been arrested. Both times it is an introduction of games. On No. 271 you can read the presentation of the Roma garlanded by Victoria: SEX-NONI-PR-L- V-P-F d.i. according to Mommsen Sextus Nonius Praetor ludos Victoriae primus fecit, at No. 296b is under a picture of Ceres HEHH1VS AED-CERIAUA PREIMVS FECIT. The time of creation of these denarii cannot be determined exactly, the type of But writing can help, at least the order in which them as well as a third analogue denarius No. 301 with the already known mentioned words C. Serveilius C. F. Floralia primus are to be recognized. It is the inscription on No. 271 bis on the proper name written entirely in initials, the one on No. 301 in more complete words but otherwise very short itself without a verb, the third on No. 296 b is finally in the most complete in every relationship. Repeated in all three only one word primus, first in initials, then in ordinary ordinarily, but finally written with the El that we already know. On the other hand, if you compare the data from the input management of the games in question, you get the reverse Order.

Other captions do not mention titles or dignities ancestors but an urban monument that bears the name of their genes.

and title of an emperor are placed next to the name of a public building, whose popular name is given by a gentile name, as we found it on the others, was not common. The relationship between the two names is not clear from any literary can be seen in the original note, but it seems to me that the analysis logy of both the other denarii with the title of emperor also the picture of the Basilica Aemilia just discussed Assumption that the Villa Publica Trophies of the Emperor T. Didius kept. If you also compare the captions of the last two denarii discussed in detail, this is how it appears that of Didius is older in that the words are shorter are written and a verb is missing. This timing at the same time corresponds to the one already mentioned above for two other denarius series of the same monetary items No. 290 a and 281 q were produced has issued.
