The authorization for this work, which is from could be called into doubt from numismatic points of view, since the characteristics discussed in it are not exactly essential from those defeated in other parts of France- The difference between the same ruler is based on the fact that they have one Section of the Histoire g^n^rale de Langnedoc forms and is there It is highly commendable that one does not, as usual, Laughable, disdainful, also took a look at the history of coins to throw.

The author has the Langae coin series cut in the second docs among the Visigoths and Franks, and in the third that of the Follow Carolingians. As is well known, this was at the beginning of the Middle Ages Southern France was largely in power for a while the Visigoths, to whom Hororius took all of Aquitaine in 418 Toulouse to the ocean and half the countries between Graronne and Loire had to be ceded^ under Libius Severus In 462 a part of Narbonensis came; further conquests followed under Euric (466 - 484), namely Nimes, Arles and Marseilles. Just going through the Battle of Youill^ (^7). a large part of this considerable area of land was lost, and The next period brought further losses, so that we are already in Gothic power in the second quarter of the sixth century limited to Septimania. — The beginnings of the western We have a Gothic character among the imitated Roman ones Like other barbarians, they dared to look for gold coins Neither did the Goths at first, but the emperors considered it their prerogative to touch the respected gold stamping. So we find one Number of Trents with the names Anastasius, Justinus L and Justinia- nus L, which apparently existed in the Visigothic thrown French lands were created, and partly the mighty Eurich and Alaric H.

The first of these kings, who put his name on the coins is Amalric (511 - 531), but these are only copper pieces with its mono- gram, while first Leovigild (573 - 586) the gold coins (Trients) has designated with his image and name, he who according to Isidorus Hispal. first the signs of the empire taken asked.

The coinage industry experienced a major upheaval Transfer of rule to the Carolingians: in place of the Gold currency ^ joined the silver currency, the silver denarii, which only show the royal head very exceptionally, replace regularly the mint master's name through that of the king, and become great and thin. In connection with this, the large number of the Merovingian mints was reduced to a modest level. reduced, mainly Narbonne and Toulouse are active and Uz^ also occasionally Nimes, B^ziers, Rodez, Sub- stantion, le Puy, Talau, Carcassome, la Rodde and Dax (AQVI8 VASOH).

The author gives in this treatise the main results of his important, research written in Spanish on the nu- mismatics of his fatherland^). The oldest coinage in Hispania are small silver pieces of Phoca currency, like the find of Auriol, but from a later period, partly through the Lischrift EMP and 8.

They are thirds, Sixths and twelfths of the Phocaian drachma. — In the late The silver obols, with the object, belong to a later period of this minting. embossed and the inscription of the ordinary Massalietian obols, but which also bear the small Iberian inscription of Ilerda.

Meeting of March 7th.

Mr. Dannenberg put down a considerable number of thalers and... Memorial coins of Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony, before, among which the latter in particular one characterized by the artistic, characterful execution of the portrait, another, special rare, minted 7 years after his death in 1532, by him enclosed title of patron of the new teaching (VINDEX EVANGELICAE LIBERI ATIS) took up the interest. Several of the Thalem people refer to it as an imperial city holder (sacri Romani imperii locumtenens generalis) a title, the he led from 1507 until the death of Emperor Maximilian I, during As is well known, he would carefully consider the emperor proposed to him turned out. Mr. v.

At least well over the year 500 The four-drachma pieces reaching up to B.C. first show one often very raw and primitive, but sometimes already delicate and bud-like - beautiful head of the goddess, partly to the noticeable worthy Athenian relief head from the Themistoclean Wall and an ancient Attic marble head of Pallas is striking. Similar to papt in style. Later is the representation of the goddess on the coins very conventional, only a small number rare Stamp shows a classic, elegant profile, the eye correctly in profile depicted, the mouth free of the usual archaic smile. These pieces certainly belong to the time of Phidias. — The later tedradrachms and drachmas, only with Sulla's conquest ending, are usually extremely crude and careless, only rarely from acceptable style; the helmet shows one of the newly found mar-

Güterbock's collection contained only Greek Coins, including magnificent series of gold coins from Syracuse and Tarentum, three decadrachms from Syracuse, one with the Stage names Kiroon, Magnificent Pieces of Amphipolis, Locri, etc. This is all the more likely to happen to her now to regret the fate of dispersion; it is the last respectable nal collection of Greek coins in our cosmopolitan city

Furthermore, a non-Roman legionary denarius of the Aagastiis (in the Berlin Museum) incorrectly listed as Quinar Despite Such oversights are the rich work of everyone who cares scientifically or collectingly concerned with the ancient coins useful, indispensable.

Mr. Neubauer discussed a grater of strange samples Coins: Friedrichsd'ors from Friedrich Wilhelm III. from 1814, made of silver, brass and iron and with a ring surrounded by other metal; also one pronounced in tin Sample of a Zweithaler stamp from 1819 and one in Paris Minted sample coin made of aluminum with the designation ^ Real.

Meeting of May 2nd.

Mr. Pfeiffer spoke about the development of the type Mary's penny, which has almost reached our days especially in the Braunschweig III-Mariengroschen pieces still numerous with our old ^Thaler pieces have been in circulation. You can date it from the first in J. 1505 in Goslar pronounced large groschen with the young Mrs. Maria, who has the same image but changing surroundings writings (Maria mater gracie, M. mater Domini, M. mater Christi, Conserva nos Domina etc.), far all around in the first half of the XVI. were imitated in the 19th century, particularly in the brown silent, now Hanoverian lands, and later, under Modification of the original name that gave rise to its name also spread across Westphalia and to the Rhine. th and with designation of their value (I., HI., IV., VI., XH., XXni.

the Albertmische line of the Wettiner FCLrstenhaas passed over. Most of Johann Friedrich's medals are still there in the older, the expression of artistic thought Partially made in the best way, by casting and ciselling. Under The pieces presented included some of the artist's in particular Hans Reinhart (inscribed with his monogram H.

Another, but embossed piece was not just finished its rarity, but also because of its object. remarkable, because it brings the busts of the heads of the narrow Kaldic League, our Johann Friedrich and the Landgrave Philip of Hesse with the year 1535. Mr. Weil is was the occurrence of representations from the circle of Local legends that appear on Greek coins only since the fourth century century B.C. Christ become more common; Thessaly and Arcadia, Both landscapes are excluded from everyone due to their location brisk trade, and both involved in battles in which A unification of the landscape is sought, but on the individual municipalities who are jealous of their autonomy If resistance is found, their old local legends come to the fore, and depict them on the coin design. In Arcadia is It is preferably the common ancestral legend of Arkas, which Individual municipalities prefer Jier, the Pheneates to Hermes, who brings to them the Arcas child, the Orchomenians Callisto, the mother of Arkas, who is shot by Artemis. Tegea takes up the native telephossage, Orchomenos even the tradition of an immigration with Aeneas escaping Trojan.

Meeting of January 13th.

Mr. Halke continued his communication about the technology Bracteate stamping continued and proved excellent through a series successful Yersuch coinage that the large and sharply embossed bracteates of the 12th century most likely struck with a metal stamp on a lead base. — A lecture by Mr. Weil deals with local distribution of the different currencies in the Greek muuz system at the end of the 6th century BC. BC, and undergoes this the conditions in which the coinage in the Coloniai cities stood to the one in the mother city, a one-of-a-kind more detailed discussion.

Mr. Laverenz presented several measurements from his collection daillen before, regarding the founding of universities and anniversaries, which he unchallenged through historical notes, at the hand bare chroniclers (Baier, Wagenseil, Will, etc.) were explained. He demonstrated that Altdorf had already been granted privileges in 1578. K Rudolph U took the rank of an academy, the Baccalaureos and Magistros were allowed to create during the official inauguration qu. University only took place in 1623. The relevant medal with the inscription: vi} aQBxj^ ts aal Tififj met with undivided applause (she Around 50 copies were distributed to illustrious guests at the time feast distributed). — What is authentic is that the 16 year old Wallenstein studied in A. in 1599, but left again in 1600. The one that told about the Holkian hunter in Wallenstein's camp Karcej^eschicht is poetry. W. never sat in a carcer, it was said also already "Stumpf el" after its first resident. From Other university medals were 3 from Heidelberg, 2 from Jena, Helmstedt, 2 Wittenberg, 2 Erlangen, Rostock, Tübingen and the large silver ones from Berlin shown and explained.

To end the review of the older ones, for the most part Saxon medals made by casting and curing, Mr. Dannenberg presented some of the latest of this kind, especially from the son of Johann, who was deprived of his electoral dignity Frederick I, Duke John Frederick the Middle (1554 until 1567) whose mental weakness was the infamous Wilhelm von Grumbach used vain hopes of regaining the

From this his father was be- As is well known, the cure was given to Duke Moritz, and from the latter to his brother August I and then to his son Christian I (1586 until 1591). About this Christian and his companion mahlin Sophia, a daughter of Johann Georg v. Brandenburg, Several interesting displays were shared with us.

July 4th meeting.

Mr. V. Sallet spoke about coinage of mythical characters sons. The names of the three wise men that we are familiar with are As is well known: Melchior, Balthasar, Kaspar. The first two names are explained: Melchior means King of Light; Balthazar is the one Chaldean name Daniel; Kaspar (Gaspard) remained unexplained. With the help of numismatics, it has recently become this German scholars v. Gutschmidt managed to create this third name to explain. We have a large amount of coins from a Greco-Indian king, who is now... the speaker's research with complete certainty placed around the second half of the first century AD is and the name YN^OOEPH^^ Gondophares, Gyndipherres etc. in the Greek transcription, Gadaphara in the Indian

14

The coins bear the inscription. English scholars have subsequently demonstrated that one in medieval, but according to their content legends of saints that certainly go back to Antiquity Coming Indian king Gundoferus, who was led by the apostle Thomas is converted and sends his merchants to Palestine to ask for a builder, undoubtedly with him King Gondophares, Gadaphara etc. is identical. Now that is Name of the “Holy Three Kings^ Kaspar or Gaspard at two Writers: Gadasphar and Gudophor, so is the king Gaspard identical to the well-known coin minter powerful Indian king Gadaphara or Gondophares etc., who was very well known to the first propagators of Christianity, ▼maybe had a close connection with them and then from the Say even to one of the kings worshiping the Christ child was made from the East.

A second strange example of legendary coins Figures are those made several years ago by French scholars Found denarii of Roland, with the name on one side Charlemagne's, carrying Roland's on the other: RED- LAN, Rotlandus. Eginhard gives the only note about Roland in his history of Charles the Elder. Gr.: in the unfortunate battle At Ronceval “Hruotlandus Britannici limitis prae- fectus^. The one on Karl's d. Gr. Formative officials called denarius So the famous hero, the governor Rolaud, can quite well be. Also the name of Roland's legendary father “Milo^ we encounter it on coins of that time, some with the name of King's Pipin, Charles the Elder Gr. Father, partly with the name of Narbonne: Front: MILO, Back: NRBO. This Milo is well known historically: Milo, Count of Narbonne is more than Fach, mentioned once in the year 782, so he is probably identical table with the one on the denarii of Pipin (f 768) and the one with the Names of Narbo appearing MILO. — Great recognition deserves the privilege when discussing these strange pieces view of the French researchers, namely Longp^rier's and Robertos, which the identity of semi-mythical figures with the secured by coins only as a possibility ity, even to some extent in the formative RoUaados just any monetary figure who happens to bear this name know; but if the Count of Narbonne is certainly attested

at the same time mentioned by name on the coins of his staff age group is mentioned, 80 the possibility that aach the “Britannici limitis praefectns^, the famous Rotlandas, in his governor^ Shaft coins minted with his name, almost likely ality.

As the last example of such imprints of mythical people still likes our well-known impressive series of coins Neighboring princes Jacza von Eöpnick are led. The mouth zen confirm that the legend according to which Jacza, after the loss Brandenburg to Albrecht the Bear from the persecuting Christian warriors pushed into the Havel, struggling with the floods, made the vow to become a Christian and this after his salvation I also held that it is completely true in everything factual, even if the romantic details belong to the poetry.
