Mr. v. Sallet spoke earlier, the oldest official Monuments of Christianity. After already in In antiquity, certain coins of Conatantine the Great with elevated looking face mistaken for changing his Christian ways

flinnung kept, while he probably only the known wanted to imitate the peculiarities of Alexander the Great, and after the nimbus around them in the last century given representations of emperors are held for the figure of Christ The investigations of more recent scholars have succeeded, e.g. Th. known since the 16th century, but by the lit- almost forgotten, undoubted, oldest monuments of the Christianity as the state religion in small, extremely rare Knotting dances of Constantine the Great, his princes and fellow Regents to prove which according to their secure data in the Years 317 - 323 AD belong, but what Constantine the Grossen himself probably did so much earlier begin. These coins show Constantine's image with the mono- gram of Christ in the helmet, almost exactly like contemporary writers reports that tell us that the emperor asked for the miraculous The strange appearance of the cross in the sky before the battle with Maxentius (312 AD) “the imperial coin with "His and Christ's image". Also the back side of these coins with the inscription: vict(oriae) laetae princfipisi perp(etui) obviously points to this victory. Also appears the monogram of Christ on the coins of the princes and the Co-regent Licinius and his son, but - and this is supreme significant! — not in the sitter's helmet decoration, as is the case with the victorious Constantine himself, but in the field of the coin. It wasn't until much later, after 329, that it was in Constantinople Constantine's rare coin, known for a long time, with the La- barum on the serpent, surmounted by the monogram of Christ and the transcription: spes publica, embossed; also the inscription of Arch of Constantine, which gives the emperor "instinctu divinitatisa" gen, quietly points to Christianity; but the strange oldest and earliest, based almost directly on the Maxentius battle and the alleged appearance of the cross afterwards send monuments are the small copper coins discussed. Mr. Dannenberg discussed the medals of the earliest and at the same time the most important Italian medalist Vittore Pi- sano (d. 1451) and presented some of his original casts in more recent most urgent work, e.g. E.g. the medallion on Lionello von Este

with the magnificent allegorical back of the lion, which sings the notes presented to him by Amor, as well as an exceptional drawn work in the original, which - like all other instruments - Daillen from this time - pieces cast and chased in weavers. which is the artist's self-portrait and on the back shows letters that remained unexplained for a long time, but now dings suggested by Fröhner as the initials of the cardinal virtues interpreted in the order prescribed by the Church- which are.

Mr. Bentzmann discussed a medal from Breslan Suffragan bishop Adam Weisskopf from 1590 with the breastplate picture and the coat of arms of the sitter, Mr. Weil the first published by Friedlaender, only in the two copies of royal Mttnzcabinets well-known copper coin of the city of Helike in Peloponnese. The same must be before the year 373 BC. 1000 BC be, because this year Helike with his famous Poseidon Temple swallowed by the sea in an earthquake and never has been rebuilt. In addition to the historical interest, What this coin offers is also in a stylistic sense through its extraordinarily beautiful, ancient Poseidon head of outstanding importance; it is the oldest for sure Datable copper coin from the Peloponnese.

Meeting of December 1, 1879.

Mr. Baron v. Koehne showed the drawing of a pro- jected and probably not executed medal on the President of the Baths executed on December 7, 1724 Thorn, Job. Godfrey Boesner. Appears on the main page his half-length portrait of vom, in official dress, on the front page the view of the city of Thorn with the heading: Thorunium capite orbatum. The band font reads: magna fuit qnondaro capitis reverentia cani. The medal is very rare Pamphlet: "The most new state and the strangest conditions" realities of the current world, with great and select Notes explained, I.

Malicious activities of the Polish Jesuits, who were German fanatics tism and cruelty against the Protestants as well as against the Numerous believers in the Eastern Church suffered the decline of Poland. The innocently shed blood of Thomer The president of Bath and the other executed citizens did so contributed to the German town of Thom to Polish rule to alienate. Contemporaneous and later Polish writers have in a just manner the cruelty of the procedure weak desire against the German city of Thom and the same to King Augustus, who lived only for his pleasure. made an accusation.

Mr. Weil then made announcements about the situation Excavations in (Tlympia) coin collection. According to the inventories, it includes around 3000 numbers, apart from four large treasures of Byzantine copper coins, of which each contains several thousand pieces. The value does not consist in particularly rare and valuable specimens, because if so the number of previously unknown coins in it is not a small one, So silver coins remain in favor of copper money vanishing minority, - but in that only pieces who have found admission, who individually or in small groups tien are found on the soil of the Altis and thus us Provide information on how various types of coins are distributed through the the crowd of foreigners who came to Olympia for festivals have been brought. In addition to the Peloponnesian coins, under to whom those from Elis naturally come first^ come the- those of Central Greece, Macedonia, Thrace, Bhodos and Asia Minor, by the Ptolemies and occasionally those of Greek West emerges. Under the Roman coins zen, those of the later Kuser are particularly numerous. For those later history of Olympia is the fact of importance, that nothing has been found about Byzantine coins Mauricius Tiberius (until 602 AD) dates back to this time Olympia has therefore ceased to be an inhabited place. For the coin collection in Olympia as well as those that came to light there It is urgently desirable for smaller finds them when the excavations come to an end in the not too distant future

avoid staying in Olympia: nnd in one there closed to the local museums, but to the larger ones Marble finds are brought to the Czech capital, where alone a worthy position can be achieved and a one- to enable ongoing studies to be vnrd.

Mr. v. Sallet spoke about the true image of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. Disappearing under the small number of sculptures that present us with simultaneous images nisse, the most important thing is the emperor, depicted sitting Portal of Freising Cathedral (1 161) ; he wears on this and a second statue has a short and weak beard, while the coins all except one from the speaker The recently discovered magnificent bracteates show an unbearded gen, in the latter the emperor appears with a clear purr beard. The time of expression of this bracteate is probably Lich 1184, the place of mint perhaps Mainz, where this year A big celebration of the handover of the sword to the emperor's sons took place; Remarkably, the ones with the Freising stone image are almost exactly accurate matching attributes, position and clothing of the emperor on some of its bracteates. So minor and incomplete the material we have received to determine the true image So Barbarossa is, that much can be said with certainty. It can be said that the common representations with long flowing beard are completely incorrect.

Mr. Güterbock presented one from his collection Beauty of preservation as well as style excellent series Syra- kusan silver coins, starting with the oldest Tetradrachmon with the Koppa in the inscription; over the four- teamed and ending with the most wonderful products of the ridlic stamp cutting art, around 400 BC.

Mr. Dannenberg spoke about the in 1827 Bttnstorf (not far from Rendsburg) has not yet been made* described large bracteate find (see Vol. VII, p. 382 d. Magazine f. Numism.). It contains about 5000 bracteates north-western Germany, to which around 150 denarii of the Inner nnd

SitzoBg from February 2, 1880.

Eriiinenid on the birthday falling on January 13th Joseph Eckhers (f 1798), the great regenerator of the tik nomismatics, said Herry. Sallet borrowed one from him acquired strange letter from Eickhel (the third so far known). The content is for EckheFs knowledge« sheepish conception, his sound judgment, his candor integrity and love of truth are important. It says, among other things: in it: “she (the philologists) become a coin recognized in advance as genuine to explain thoroughly, but they will often complain about it Judgment of the authenticity of a coin can be seriously mistaken. We Viennese We were often amazed at how crooked my friend was Heyne, I seriously and with admiration for the first Philologists of our age sometimes talk about numisma-- tic works in the Göttingen advertisements.

Furthermore, Mr. v. Sallet already in the previous meeting Embossed Giov medal presented to the society. Cavino (1500 - 1570), owned by Mr. Dannenberg: PORVS CON SILII FILIVS around the image of Christ. With the incomprehensible In the past one had thought of “purus”, i.e. “the pure son of (benevolent) council.

Mr. Weil discussed a number of people from Crete tic Eupfermtnzen and proven for various so far in part fttr Peloponnesian types visited the city of Phalasarna the northwest coast of the island as a place of minting; another one so far unknown, also linguistically interesting type is also beginning Crete can be traced back to the one that has only recently been in the numismatic introduced town of Biennos, near the city center coast of the island.

Mr. Dannenberg submitted the reports that had just been published the negotiations of the numismatic society in Philadelphia phia before (Beport of the Operations etc. Philadelphia 1 SSO) , which a pleasing picture of antiquity, the Middle Ages and modern times time-wide scientific activities of this society offer.

Meeting of March 1, 1880.

Mr. Pfeiffer placed several antique coins from his Sanmi presentation, as well as a bracteate from the previous session discussed strange find by Trebatsch near Beeskow, from the middle of the 12th century.

The usefulness of the company was universally recognized by society know; only through such things, although little from the guild scholars appreciated, but joyfully by the large circle of educated people welcomed works, it is possible to work in almost all areas of the knowledge of monuments and, in particular, numismatics to gradually eradicate raw ignorance.

This still shows the most beautiful of all Hera heads from Elis Didrachmon of the type not shown anywhere with the inscription FAAEION around the head, not as usual, on Diadem.

Mr. Dannenberg pointed out how in contrast Italy the oldest German medalists never focus on theirs but mostly so highly enjoyable works of art with full Names are mentioned and only very rarely tell us through the initial letters of their name or name ciphers about their authorship have clarified the situation. To explain, the speaker explained a number of cast and chased medals from his collection lung before, all belonging to the 16th century, which as Works by the medalists Hans Reinhard (not Heinrich Reitz, like was previously believed], Friedrich Hagenauer, Anton Abondio, To- bias Wost and Valentin painters are made recognizable during the ciphers with which the remaining portraits of Elector Frederick the Wise of Saxony, Bishop Andreas Jerin of Breslau, Margrave Albrecht Aldbiades, Kunz v. d. roses (?) , Jacob Muffel wearing, are marked, the explanation still wait for such, but given the poverty of the person in question Materials seem to have little prospect, so desirable it would also be possible to expose these excellent artists to the darkness of the to withdraw security.

They appeared in 1252, at a time when seen from southern Italy, nowhere in the entire Oocident Gold was minted and had not been minted for centuries. Precisely because of this and because the developed traffic of gold When there was a need for coins, they quickly became widespread on the European mainland and later also, around since laof the first quarter of the 14th century, imitation, by the name Florentia around the lily through a different transliteration of the Mttnzherm or the mint, was replaced.

According to time these are Imitations limited to about half a century; just Aragon, where this coinage lasted until the middle of the 15th century was continued, makes an exception, as does the one in question neighboring B^m, where Gaston de Foix did the same in 1436 - 1471 chen character. The speaker managed to the number of these imitations, of which Schweitzer only 36 could prove to bring it up to 83.

Around the end of the third quarter of the 14th century one departs from this type insofar as one passes through the lily coat of arms replaced; these characteristics form the transition to Irish Compositions.

Mr. Dannenberg placed a coin from Patriarch Poppe (also called Wolfgang) by Aquileia (1019 - 1042), which After all the criticism, it aroused the greatest interest. Because not only is it still unknown and of the most beautiful work and preservation, but it is also almost 200 years older than that oldest coin from Aquileia described so far, it also shows not Italian, but one very related to the Regensburg people Factory, namely an emperor's head, which corresponds to this

Regensburg is very similar, and finally she has the merit to certify the authenticity of a doubted document which is Conrad II ours, who appears on this coin Poppe granted the right to play. He then discussed and pointed out three no less magnificent and rare denarii of Emperor Henry II. before, all of which have one page with the inscription +HEIN RICVS* around an unusually decorated cross (with a ball and pearl circles in the middle) have in common with each other, while on the other side the one + IMPERATOR around the emperor head, the second the heads of the Byzantine Emperor Michael UI. and Constantine YIII. [829 - 842) with their names, the third finally an Arabic inscription and transcription with the name of the Spanish caliph Hesham (976 - 1009). The story of course offers no explanation for that second half- Byzantine influence, because the emperors in question have about Lived 180 years before our Heinrich, and there is just as little they provide us with information about relationships between the German ui^d the Arab-Spanish prince, which was the last thought Embossing could shed light. On the other hand, there is an explanation for this Trias a fourth recently discovered by the speaker silver coin also presented, also apparently clearly origin and with the imaginary one at the same time, which, just like the one for 2, Michael UI. and Constantin Vm., on the The front, on the other hand, shows the Emperor Theophilus, his co-regent those were, shows, and turned out to be imitations of gold coins this emperor reveals. After that all that's left is the origin of Nos. 2 and 3 is due to an artistic whim the rubber stamp, which was then in greater freedom than now schneider attributed; the artist, for example in a large one Living in a Rhenish city would like to have the opportunity to meet To familiarize yourself with Byzantine and Arabic money and strives to achieve variety through imitation be how you occasionally do such alternation Imitation of ancient models achieved. The triad discussed embodies and visualizes for us the threefold division of the time world that developed into a Germanic-Romanesque, a Byzantine niches and an Arab part.

Meeting of September 6, 1880.

Mr. Di Dio spoke about the oldest silver mines in the Roman Republic, which had ruled the city since 485* were coined. The representation of these pieces is everywhere the same, on the main head of the Boma with wing helmet, that next to the value symbols X, V or IIS, Denarius, Quinarius, Sestertius, and on the back above the city name ROMA the Dioscuri on horseback. It appears on a few pieces City name deepened ^incus). Later appear on the denarii various small symbols in which you can see the coat of arms of the MüBzmeister wants to recognize and in some cases reliably recognized has. There are more than 70 such epithets known, but it There will hardly be a collection in which they are all without exception are represented. Among the denarii presented The speaker's collection includes: the crescent with raised tips (coat of arms of the Saufejer) and the half- moon facing right in the shape of a Latin C, the eight-pointed star (Calpumier) and the five-pointed star, the Pentagram, the priest's helmet, the trident, the ship's beak, the rudder, the anchor, the rod of Mercury, the ear, the filling horn (Gqpiennier), the club, the feather, the charging bull, the Griffin, the owl, the dolphin, a female head (Horatians) and the six-spoke bathroom. The latter denarius is included on the ribbon notched and only occurs as serratus. Another denarius has the inscription laurel branch on the front Place where the value symbol usually stands, while the latter is has found a place under the chin of the Boma head. final There is also a denarius to be noted, on which the heavy Victoria wreaths the Beiter. On this denarius is the Head of the front slightly different. The helmet has one Smooth Krista, which ends in a griffin head, is also the one Head of G(Min without collar and earrings.

Mr. v. Sali et put a file that belonged to his mother lish oval medal model with the portrait of Gustav Adolf, made of ivory, in front of which, like the inscription on the front page proves: "His immortal praise to death sigt whether" probably immediately

Like one Medal of the Berlin Mu- seums with the bust of Johann George of Saxony, Gustav Adolf's ally at the time, seems to prove this The artist created these beautiful works in 1632 worked at the Saxon court, where since the sixteenth In the 19th century, beautiful works of this kind were produced in abundance were.

Mr. Weil spoke about the coins of the Messenian city Thuria from the time of Emperor Septimius Severus, which is next to have the inscription AA after the city name. From these pieces It turns out that the route ran between Messenia and Laconia Border dispute over the Dentheliatic area after the decision under Tiberius, who awarded the same thing to the Messeniem had, was taken up again under Severus, with the The decision was made in favor of the Lacedaemonians.

Mr. Dannenberg discussed a number of older Brandenburg Burgischer Inedita of his collection, presenting three of them Publication in Sallef's magazine for numismatics Plates with illustrations. Particularly noteworthy are one beautiful bracteate of Otto I, who previously represented the margrave seated in an unusual way, a Yiertelthaler Joa- chim's I. with the elector's name and title on both sides, an angel's penny of the same prince, as well as his own Son Joachim 11th (from 1568), a Unicum, imitation of the Saxon coins with the same stamp, finally the Kedfort one currently unknown, so probably not available at all. The coin came from Dreier's Joachim*s H. from 1538. Namely But the speaker didn't go into more detail about it yet discussed question as to which Albrecht was given the name Drawn denarii belong to whether Albrecht L d^n bears or his grandson Albreoht H. ; from the contents of the book published around 1225 dig large find from Bünstorf and certain heraldic Considerations have shown that these denarii are all belong to the Younger Albrecht and are currently Brandenburg Denarii of the first two margraves Albrecht I and Otto I. are not known. What is crucial is that the...

denarii in question and among them the^ which is generally is considered the oldest, the eagle can be shown freely in the field, but that none of the Bracteates Albrech t's I and Otto*8 I, who did a lot for the stamp cutter to develop his art larger area, bearing such a coat of arms, the same thing - more first under Otto II (on a bracteate found by Seelensdorf) occurs, and that, entirely in accordance with this, Al- I and Otto I did not break eagles on their seals, but rather wield only an iron-clad shield. So it's a Anachronism if, as has happened so far, those denarii Albrecht assigns to the bear, and even less can it be doubted- be liable, so that the others must also be taken away from him, that the Brandenburg denarius coinage has so much to date only with Otto I's sons, Otto IL, Albrecht II and Hein- rich begins.

Meeting of October 4, 1880.

Mr. Halke, secretary and librarian of the society shaft; continued his, which had already begun in an earlier meeting Communications about the rich, now for the use of the media The society's library, set up by members, continues.

Mr. Weil spoke about the artists' inscriptions in Greek schen coins, which were discovered by Luynes, then by Raoul Rochette and more recently by v. Sallet in special writing are treated, the results of which have recently been published by Lenormant, which essentially follows Sallet's writing, summarized are. The speaker pointed out the nature of the names of the sici- Italian coin engravers around 400 BC. BC according to the fact that those the artists drew were free citizens, perhaps that's what he said Harmony of three names: Eumenos, Eukleidas, Euainetos German tet, related among themselves, and that perhaps Euainetos, who his name sometimes refers to one held by the goddess of victory tablets, in a government-ordered con- currenz won the victory, similar to what we see in the inscription sculptor Paionios in Olympia know.

Mr. v. Sallet flew as confirmation of the view of the previous speaker added that the name of the coin artist Theodotos von

Mr. Dannenberg laid ten Brandenburg ounces oldest times, which can be found near Michendorf near Potsdam find made (where there are not two different finds) hliren. Four of them have not yet been described anywhere, namely:

1) a denarius, which on one side has the Hereller prince Heinrich von Brandenbarg, his wife on the back Pctrissa names and represents ; In 1127, Henry and his companions Lady Came over Christianity and took it in her christening name instead of his previous Frzybislaw; as heir to his

Lande followed him around 1142 by Albrecht the Bear. 2) A better bracteat this Harkgrafen Albrecht, smaller and rougher than that previously known sticks of this Por- sten and strongly reminiscent of some denarii of the very similarly depicted Remembering Heinrich-Przybislaw, therefore certainly Albreehtc the oldest, struck around 1142 ounces. 3) An anonymous conscience Hagdeburgera closely related bracteate with BRANDEBVRG and the armed margrave over a tusk will be probably also this oldest because of its fatness Ascanian regents of the Hark zuspreebca. The remaining six

25

Bracteates belong to his son Otto I (1170-1184), if also two of them only give the name of the country; special The most important thing among them is 4) a beautiful bracteate with BRAVN PEBV and the standing margrave. Also the five remaining ones are beautiful valuable coins, especially the lost one original piece with OTTO BRANDEBVRG around and in one magnificent building. — Further explanations and illustrations This is the oldest coin history in Brandenburg important characteristics will be discussed in the next issue of y. Sallet's time font for numismatics. ^)

Meeting of November 1, 1880.

Mr. Halke, the society's librarian, presented the Soon an autographed catalog will be published by him organized, rich library of the society in prospect.

Mr. Di Dio discussed the coins of the Italian war his allies, especially their general, C. Papius mutilus. A few excellent ones serve to explain this Specimens, some from a recent period in Campanicn The find that was made comes from the collection of Mr. Di Dio and Dannenberg.

Mr. v. Sali et remarked that one of the proposed laid copies of the rare denarius of G. Papius Mutilus most likely a strange variant in the underground writing, namely the spelled out nominative of the name Papius.

Mr. Weil discussed the Athenian coins of the period of the Mithraatic War, about which a few years ago A find that came to light in Athens has provided new information asked. The identity of the two, which was still disputed until then demagogues educated in the Athenian schools of philosophy Aristion and Apellikon, who with the help of the Pontic king the moderate elements who sympathized with the Romans Athenian population oppressed and an ochlocracy emerged

The minting of these coins is not what it is Agathocles otherwise applies, but it is always the types chosen from the coins of the king depicted: in Antiochus di& of his silver coins struck for Bactria; likewise Diodotus and Euthydemus those of their coins without Agathocles names. The speaker has in his work On Alexanders Successors in Bactria and India therefore counteracted these coins the previous declarations, declared for commemorative coins, which King Agathocles told his predecessors on the Bactrian Indian throne dedicated: to what the character of the

Coinage teaches, only personally, not as a master of the Seleucid EmpireS; Antiochus II recognized in Bactria; dem Diodoios, the Euthydemus. Owing to the character of this experience Inside mgsmttnzen these predecessors have honorific nicknames: der Victor, the Savior (Founder), the God. — That this interpretation That Mttnz series was correct, proves the new one in the most brilliant way discovered coin of the same king acquired by the British Museum nigs Agathocles, with the transcription mentioned, but with the Types of the tetradrachms of Alexander the Great, Head of Heracles and seated Zeus and with the inscription on the head: AAEZAN APOY TOY <|>IAinnOY. So Agathocles sees it as that first predecessor on the Bactrian-Indian throne upper India, the great Alexander, who was proud and grand- There are no special honorifics like “God” or “Savior” but is simply called “Alexander, Philip’s son”. — It seems superfluous, especially in the grand historical context Pay attention to the importance of this wonderful monument do.

Mr. Pfeiffer discussed the still for the African chen trade continued coinage of the Maria Theresiathaler and following on from a lecture by Mr. Hauptmann v. Kretzsch mar, about the Mansfeld Georg-Thaler used as amulets.

Mr. Halke spoke about some medals, including one beautiful original by Tobias Wolff, with the portrait of a Gers- village, from 1592, is characterized by excellent work and fine Giselirung distinguished.

Mr. Dannenberg spread the word about the beginnings of the Coinage. He pointed out how in the most ancient times The coins were only minted on one side in such a way that the silver piece - because the oldest ones are made of this metal Coins - on the back only the impression of his Holding on to a certain instrument, the hallmark, receiving, quadrangularly delimited depressions, which are under the name of “quadratum incusum” are known. At the same time or a little later began in Great Greece, where this coinage had no influence. It was common practice to strike larger and thinner coins

Special The Didrachm from Siris is interesting in this coin class and Bnxentum, because the former city was already in 580 BC. BC was destroyed. By the hand of this safe date you can we assume without a doubt that the art of minting the coin already has a period of three and a half millennia behind it, but hardly more, although the ancients were mostly Argives Pheidon in Aegina is named as the inventor of coinage. Coins of the type of Great Greek Incusi can be found also on the west coast of Asia Minor among the gold staters and their subdivision, the Hectae; these Asian Incusi, those Incidentally, they are not that old, but they are always on the lookout Back page has a different embossing than on the main page.
