Flaminius named on my coin Unfortunately I can't find out anything.

On coins with scratched inscriptions I have examined I found the following in my collection:

That Pompeiüs founded it during his stay in Pontns is not likely ; Like other ancient cities, it will be expanded and included given his name. So he has solos in Gilicia, like the coins with showing his image and name, Pompeiopolis, and named after Pliny (bist. nat. B. VI. C. 2) he also called Amisos, and with it yerbun> dene Eupatoria Magnopolis after his last name. Hagnopolis and Megalopolis

are not exactly identical. It is therefore likely that Pompeio polis in Paphlagonia had an old city name; Docea, as Mannert believed, This old name cannot have been, because Docea was demonstrably further away south. And now one could tell from the similarity of this coin to KAMOH- NON and that of Pompeiopolis probably suspect that Eamus was the old name of Pompeiopolis. But this hypothesis should only be valid as long as there is no better one explanation is found. She even suffers from another ailment of uncertainty. That in the last syllable is quite clear, as it is in this one late time cannot possibly stand for Sl, then only the neuter of the ad- jectives in the nominative, but this too would be a striking form for a coin.

The Waltemienburg coin find.

In Walternieoburg near Barby a./Elbe on April 11th Last year I took two pots with me when building a barn Silver coins found. Although some pieces of the work If the workers were taken away and dispersed in this way, it has the discovery of its main mass was presented to me. He passed after deducting the Yom verdigris eaten and the broken ones Pieces of 710 coins. The total number of pieces may vary amounted to 900. The find does not contain any quantity of rarities and unknown pieces, but I give in the following below is an overview of the same, since on the one hand some previously unpublished coins and notable stamps differences reach our understanding, but on the other hand the composition of the find, which consists of coins from over 70 There is at least some interest among mint owners takes.

Of the 710 coins, 258 are double-sided, mostly dime shaped, 452 one-sided, mostly pennies. Yon the two-sided pieces In terms of the number of pieces, this belongs to the overwhelming majority Bohemia (82 pieces), which, strangely enough, is home to Holstein Gottorp joins in (26), while the Rhinelanders are one-sided. by far the largest contingent, since here the Palatinate hissing lines with 82, Salm with 39, Solms with 87, Stolberg- Königstein with 32 and Worms with 31 pieces are represented. Also Chur, the southernmost mint, has no small reputation part (32). After all, it is striking that precisely the

The nearest countries to the location disappear completely are represented, which suggests to everyone that the small one Treasure not from a local, but from a transit was buried by travelers. As for the time period, which one our coins embrace, it extends from the end the 15th century to the early 17th, on un- about 150 years ago. Because as the oldest present in the find The coin is probably the pfennig of Bishop Matthias of Speyer von Rammingen (1464 - 1478) can be seen as the youngest the Erfurt Pfennig from 1607.

As for the arrangement followed in the following description As far as I'm concerned, I split the work into two parts, the first of which were the two-sided coins, the double shillings, shillings, dimes, threes, etc., while the second one is the sided coins, mostly pennies, I was able to do this Rather do so, since the main component of the find is one-sided Coins exist, which are by far the largest part Mint lords belong to the two-sided pieces are not represented. At the end of this introductory Please allow me to point out that I everywhere the number of pieces^ in which the coin in question was found. was present. Where this did not happen, that was Piece only available once.

Likewise, the number of well-recognizable^ is, however, not well-known to describe less significant stamp differences. given.

Les blancs de Ni&jioe repr^entent le Prince tenant dans la main droite one longue hampe surmont^ d'une croix. Dans Touvrage du Comte Tolstoy this attitude paratt 99 fois sur 130 pieces; 5 fois la croi^ est appuy^ sur l'^paule gaucbe. Dans toute la särie By- zantine de l'öpoque il ne se trouve rien desemblable; corn temperature Pereur y parait souvent avec le Labarum dans la main droite.

hß, croix sur les pieces de Nöjine n'est pas byzantine, mais latin; les branches en sont ^pat^es et termin^s par des parües de croissant omöes de pearls. This forme de croix parait pour la premiire fois sur une bract^ate de Borsirol, Duc de Boh^e (894) (Description of Bohemian coins. Voigt a St. Germano, 1771 tome I, page 36); hastily repair plus tard sur les monnaies des Croisades au XU^m« siecle, sur celle de Prüderie Barberoasse et de Henri VI (German Eaiser coins 1827 par Ch.

Avant la trouvaille de N^jine on connaissait deux pi^s en argent with the name of Vladimir: la preroi^re, trouv^e dans le Gouvernement de Tschemigoff is conserv^e au mus^e de l'üni- Versitz de Moscou, the second time in the collection of Mr. Lissenko k Moscow. Nous en donnons ci-joint le trac^.

Toutes les deux appartiennent a la m^me famille et sont de provenance slave, mais le dessin en est bien plus arr^t^, plus ori- ginal, ayant des diff^rences notables avec les pi^ces de N^jine.

A slightly different copy is in the Sanun- long of Lord Northwick; after the Beechreibong in the Aacüons' The catalog of the same, from 1859, No. 878, does not have the address of the VS.; In front of the Halee there is only K, whereas on the ES. under the bee has an E but an indistinct Prora. The weight is stated at 22'2 English grains, which would be 14.38 grams. The coin is not discussed there.

So we have the Roma's head, which is on mine present copy is accompanied by her name; her wing- belffl is modeled on the older Roman denarii, It shows an elephant's head as an ornament, which is also on the E flat. returns as a symbol. This elephant head is the same the elephant itself, the badge of Caecilü Hetelli, like some of their denarii and eaper coins show. These badges refer to the twenty-one hundred elephants that the Consnl L. Caecilins Metellus after the Battle of Panonnas

(250 Y. Gbr.) in Triainph about Hasdrabai. It So it cannot be doubted that the elephant heads our coin draws on a Caeciliüs Metellns 1)e; and therefore these coins are undoubtedly in Gortyna at the present time of Q. Caeciliüs Metellus, who lived in the years 63 to 66 y. BC as Proconsul Greta fought and conquered and the received the victory name Greticus.

The monogram of K and A in front of Roma's neck could mean KA ixilwg, but appears on Roman coins Such monograms usually indicate the Gognomii^a, not the nouns give. And KA would be a very hidden name for it Metellus, even darker than that which was difficult for the Greeks to understand Elephant head badge. On the other copy only K is given. It doesn't matter much whether There is also a reference to Metellus in this monogram want to find.

Whether these deviate so completely from everything that has come before Coins were minted on a special occasion, and. what relationship Metellus just had with Gortyna do not identify themselves. Among the cities he conquered Island whose names are mentioned in military history^): Gnosus, Lyttus, Gydonia, Lappa^ Eteuthemae is found in Gortyna not, and because it is one of the most important cities on the island one can assume from this silence that she was not been conquered, but rather soon after arrival of Metellus voluntarily handed over to the Romans, which of course tells us nothing has been handed down. This assumption becomes more credible because dasd Gortyna was the capital of the Roman Empire island.') After the end of the war, 66 BC. Ghr., was Greta Roman province. *) Metellus still remained on the devastated one

Island, on the Direktion. to set upD. In the transition period probably coined Gortyna to the victorious general za Honor this coin with his family badge. She is every- if a testament to the subjugation of the island, and forms in in a certain sense a counterpart to the Roman-Macedonian ones Coins, which however have a part of more official Ohani^ter, because next to them is MAKEAONUN, the name of the Roman Officials, sometimes even in Latin, such as SVVRA LEG PRO Q_, CiE PR, AESILLAS Q_.

Again. Eopf the Roma a copy of the Roman denarii, The type of the reverse side is, although by no means precise Repetition of the Ephesian Artemis on the gold coins of Ephesus, which was probably at the time of Mithradates, is not very long before the Roman conquest of Greta. Even the symbol of the goddess, the bee, which the staters call have connotations, returns here. These staters are probably the ones oldest coins depicting the Ephesian goddess, They are followed, in time, by the Tetradrachmon of Gortyna, nnd this the denarius, which the consuls L. Cornelius Lentulus and 0. Claudia's Marcellus Gate of the Battle of Pharsalus in Ephesus have minted, the face of the obverse of these denarii is certain not cut in Rome, but by a Greek artist. Beer therefore explains the choice of type. But why? the Gortynians put the Ephesian Artemis on their coin, remains dark. Because even if Artemis as Britomartis and Dictynna occurs frequently in Crete, as it is Asian The cultural image of the island is foreign. ^) And a political yerbindong of Gortyna with Ephesus is also not proven.

Mr. Dr. Margrave, head of the Breslau City Library, not only showed me extremely lovingly - appropriately the necessary books and documents from the beautiful book collection under his direction - find help, he also helped me, based on the rich treasure to his knowledge in the field of the so complicated Silesian Numismatics, many valuable suggestions and tips to share, which essentially enriches my work and made it easier. Mr. Baron Hugo von Saurma Lorzendorf, the happy owner of the most beautiful collection Silesian coins have allowed me to use them with rare liberality this of his cabinet and especially his illustrated Yer- Drawing of all Silesian coins known to him (Private work) permitted. This last book in particular I thank you for the knowledge and the opportunity to study such rare denarii, which cannot be found anywhere else in such numbers can be found than with Mr. von Saurma.

All these gentlemen so my sincere thanks!

At the same time, I would like to thank the numismatists to send me a submissive request to pass through her hands Asian coins from the Middle Ages of a rare type, depending on the original or in a good print for appropriate remuneration let, as well as more recent finds, in which such coins, like Whatever kind and number occur, kindly give us news to want.

Introductory words changed and at the end the words of thanks omitted to the sponsors and friends of the book.

Let's look at the changes made first As is well known, the first edition of the coins was different metals, sometimes also depending on the size; the second edition — we consider this an improvement — lets this company divorce fall.

The first edition also presented the illustrations in a special way Plates together, and these engravings formed a real one Decoration of the book. Now the individual illustrations are in the Text set above the description of the coin in question: one Arrangement that you can follow in the interest of a more convenient overview His consent would not be able to fail^ if not with this modification instead of the nice, clean one Engravings would have produced less good illustrations. What concerns the illustrations already included in the first edition, so we assume that the existing copperplate engravings are based on some mechanical means of insertion into type printing has prepared. Be that as it may; in any case they would Gentlemen publishers earn a profit if they complete the entire Reprint the copper plates from the first edition and reprint them again wanted to make it available to the book trade (even without text). As for the newly added illustrations, please bring them the same mainly medallions for display purposes; because that Second edition is intended to contain all of the Parisian medallions Cabinets, approximately 800 pieces, included. One not high enough addition to be posted.^)

1) The publishers had these images of the medallions “shaded”, in order to distinguish them from the images of the other coins. But this is precisely why the pictures often get it, and not just in the first part a peculiar, not pleasant appearance. The publishers and current ones Editors have felt this themselves. They say (II. p.

P.S. I would like to point out in the above review that I... does not agree with the same in all points. That the alphabetical series for a reference stream is the only correct one or at least the only comfortable one, I would like - at least for my mental disposition — based on many years of experience claim. That Cohen doesn't know everything that other Gabinette does (e.g. Berlin, Gotha, Munich) is very apologetic, considering how heavy it is, all the material comes from everywhere to receive. By the way, there are only a very small number in Berlin of coins that Cohen does not have, in Munich and Gotha but in any case even less. That the Yorrede only appears in the second volume says that the divorce after metals is abandoned, seems I don't blame it, because visual evidence shows that without it Preface. The criticism of the illustrations seems too harsh to me; Anyone who is used to meeting their demands from year to year faithful, satisfactory, non-mechanical illustrations in all respects to renounce more and more, Dardel's usually quite good re- productions not tadehi.

Letters marked 0Y, the much rarer type has APIXO, an inscription, which is similar, APIX^ is also cast on Find round copper coins with an ancient appearance Based on the character and location, it is also undoubtedly Olbia belong. What is the meaning of those brands designed like fish? As far as this is concerned, their relationship to the fish trade is of course close lying and the explanation of the pieces with OY, which are in it the abbreviation for v^tVoc, tuna, later called %^vwog- wrote, sees ^), is probably the most appealing, yes it seems undoubtedly, considering how important a food and Tuna was a commercial item, especially on the Black Sea. The large mass of Greek words that start with &vvog is composed and relates to the catching etc. of this fish relate, prove sufficiently the great role that this Thier played in ancient times.

But explaining the inscriptions seemed much more difficult of the other fish brands: APIXO, which, as I said, also focuses on the round coins or tokens of Olbia with the face of a gorgon and wheel, somewhat abbreviated, finds the late Eoehler, the knowledgeable, but sometimes in his claims and which were championed by not very happy St. Petersburg scholars, TAPIXOZ has read or added this inscription, but his You don't even need to read explanations of this word, because It just says aCach not jaQixoQy but aegixo and agix the brands. Recently W. Fröhner (Gatalog de la collection J. Lemm^, Paris 1872, p. 24) yersucht^ both the To take away brands with OY than those with APIXO from Olbia and them partly to a city of Thynia, partly to the people of the Arrichi, ji^flXoL, to be distributed at Phanagoria.

^ However, this interpretation is contradicted by the fact that both brands are always can be found in Olbia; the large collection of the deceased State Councilor Becker, who himself carried out excavations in Olbia carried out, contained large masses of these copper fish 1) Unfortunately, I don't know where this Dentong sueist is located.

146 A.T. Sallet:

OY and one given the other great rarity^) of the pieces with APIXO very significant number of the latter.

The consideration of the specimens from Becker's collection, The one that came up for auction here took me to another one attempted explanation. It struck me that - with us- dubious simultaneity of both varieties - which are marked ©Y- The fish always drew small, but the ones with APIXO always drew a lot Larger ones (see illustration) were something related to the fish trade In any case, according to the analogy of OYi^o^ or, what is true- more apparently, &VVOV or t^vwov, sc. mark, also in the APIXO stuck.

But there is only one Greek word that goes with this aegixo can be identified: a^^ixog^ i.e. anciently a(»ixo?9 is called the basket.

So I think the small stamps were for a tuna fish, the big ones with APIXO for a basket full of tuna, a naturally standardized measure, and APIXO is the Doric one ancient genitive of o^^ixog: aQi%o^a^^ixox\ That's right Because it's also perfect that the fish with OY are much more common are, than those with APIXO, there were fewer wholesale buyers than those, who only bought the food they needed every day.

How to think about using these brands a tradesman may explain. Maybe it was trade with tuna, the most important food for the inhabitants, somehow monopolized by the state of the Olbiopolitans or not monitored by the state, and brands were issued by the state for one, or for a basket full, sold or spent, for whose You hand it over after receiving the goods yourself, similar to The salt instructions used to be sold to us in the office and then the goods were delivered in the magazine upon handing in the slip').

That in addition to the fishy brands with APIXO there are also round ones Pieces with this inscription and Gorgon's face on the front Page (see illustration) there is no counter-evidence that could round may have applied to other goods - I don't want to Conjiciren, but remember the crab on the silver coins ▼on Agrigento with a broad, gorgon-like face on the Shell, as is well known in some species of heirlooms, on the back really one, resembling a broad, grimacing human face. have a clear drawing.

If the relationship of these brands to the trade in local means is correct, I feel strongly about a third class copper stamps are an encouragement: you give the small ones cast pieces:

But the technique of these pieces is entirely Olbian Like pieces of copper, the State Councilor Becker owned such a significant number of these stamps or coins with IZT from Olbia Location that probably also makes their Olbian origins more certain is^ than those from the far away Istrus, whose coins with have no other resemblance to those of Olbia.

Our and described above The pictured, completely clear copy came at the same time as many Coins from the nearby mints Imbros^ Hephaestia» Pariam, etc. from Smyrna. Mionnet's quotes refer on a note from Sestini (Lottere nnmismatiche VIII, p. 37), who does not himself own the two coins that Mionnet reproduces seen, but only for a^ as he himself says, very poor- adhere to the auction catalog printed in Warsaw in 1799. writes - The one silver coin that Sestini got from that one Catalog gives:

M. is, as every coin expert can immediately see, nothing other than the Ordinary coin from Amisus, on which the most diverse references official names are next to the owl, including the alleged EAEOYZ is of course the beginning of such an official's name.

That our coin is only named after the Thracian Elaeus and cannot belong to the Cilician island of Elaeasa (Sebaste), proves the factory and the representation, which is almost completely consistent with the coins of neighboring Lnbrus and Lemnus.

The sword can easily do this on poor specimens be understood as Sestini describes: pillar on a base (the thick end of the sheath), above figure (the handle with button); the acrostolium is the folded band, which really sometimes resembles an acrostolium. The interpretation of the monogram is of course wrong.

Eckhel speaks in his Addendls to Doctrina p. 25 f. about this coin described by Sestini and corrects Sestini's Be* claim that Haym read it wrong, but Eckhel still recognizes it

But it is now possible to create real replicas of that Pallas of Phidias on coins.

At first it appears, admittedly only in dull condition, but but clearly and recognisably, that Pallas with the one on the pillar supported arm carrying the Nike, with shield and lance an Athenian lead piece from the Berlin coin collection*) (see illustration); it is one of those brands that are so abundant in Athens^ some of which probably have an official character, the more detailed ones Destination and age are difficult to specify.

Nothing more can be said at the moment, but I can give a small contribution to the explanation of the coin: there are two repetitions of those shown on the reverse Goddess, the female figure accompanied by sphinxes with wall crown, which Hoffmann calls “Atergates”.

The one pictured above right, circa 370 B.C.

EcUielO certainly has it right in the presentation Contorniaien frequent Gybele came, but his Yermnthiuigen, that the figure Athys appears on the left with the pedum and Phrygian cap and that there are no sphinxes below, soudem the Ordinary lions depicted in Gybele are like originals of the coin (the illustration is based on the Berlin example) made clear), wrong.

This proves that this goddess can really only be Eybele another strange series of monuments: the gold and copper Coin of Clodius Albinus, as Caesar under Septimius Severus. On this appears an enthroned figure whose attributes are the a very similar deity to the spoken Cybele representations, with Modius neat tiara, long-dressed, raising the right hand, in the left Flower or ears of corn, below two sphinxes; but the deity is male and bearded, (Coh. III, Albinus No. 41, 54, 60), with the inscription SAECVLO FRVGIFERO. Fröhner (Medals de l'empire Romains p. 151). This only occurs with Clodius Albinus Fröhner irrefutably explains the coming character as follows: Clodius Albinus was a native of Fladrumetum in Afirika, which Colonia Concordia frugifera is called and on its coins (MüUer, Numismatique de Tancienne Afrique II, p. 52, No. 29) exactly the bust of the one depicted on Albinus^ coins figures of God, with grains of grain in their hands. This God is the deus frugnm, deus frugifer, as in Numidian in- writings called Saturnus.

So the husband appears on Clodius Albinus' coins the Cybele-Rhea, the Saturn, exactly with the attributes - only instead of flowers, probably holding ears of grain in his hand - what Gybele on the coin representations clay Armenia, Cilicia and similar shows the Gontomiate.

In any case, the equation of the coins teaches us, the poor Niflchen, the Cilician, that of Clodius Albinus and the Gon-

The attributes of the other Old Laconian reliefs are therefore correct The species is completely similar: the snake and the rooster, the all- well-known attributes of Asclepius; the representation of the god or Heros offered rooster on the "oldest specimen" The illustrations of these reliefs (Furtwängler 1. c. p. 167) are actually correct in the most precise way with the well-known words of Socrates from the Rooster, who should be sacrificed to Asclepius.

I cannot follow conjectures in these Animals “the symbolic horse^^), the “symbolic dog of the Heros'', 'the dog's relationship to beings of light'', the “rooster and dogs as "drivers of dark demons". I think nothing sound dark demons, but believe quite bright and Only the well-known attributes are clear in all these animals of Asclepius.
