16g H. Dressel:

However, let's move on to these general remarks to the individual.

Plate LXXXIX, 14. On the strange didrachm feral Camanian types, aaf the one previously known FUJdnU had read and which as a result was assigned to Fistelia, recognizes Garrucci PisUnis. Whether this reading is the right one, We are unable to examine it because we don't have a print of it coin is present; But it still seems doubtful to us be that this coin belongs to Fistelia, as Pislinis with the The name Fistelia is just as incompatible as Fiakinis.

As far as I can see, the two tables LXXXIX, 18 and. are new 19 illustrated didrachms. The first with a woman Heads on Nolan didrachms certainly correspond to female ones Header.; the other with the one well known on fistula coins Heads depicted almost completely from the front with flying hair: the cats of both with the usual type of bull human face 1., but with the heading $im'YM after the illustration, Sim^VM after the text. Garrucci holds this one Form for a genitive. No indication where the coins are and whether they were seen in the original by the author. Shouldn't just be SI^TI^VI^ on these two pieces? like on most other didrachms?

The inscriptionless didrachm plate LXXXIX, 20 with the Hera's head, depicted almost completely from the front, and that of the Nike-crowned bull with people hovering above it face r. gives G. to Fistelia because it follows the style of Fistelia coins correspond. We cannot agree with him on this, because it is precisely this flat, dry, petty nature in individual works In our opinion, the guided coin wants to be used most of the time rough and highly characteristic style of the Samnite mountain city ^) don't add it at all. The coin is definitely Campanian, But for now it's better to stick with the indefinite ones.

Some remarks in Garrncci's “Monete deir Italia antica*”. 169

The two aaf plates LXXXIX, 22 and 23 under the silver The pieces shown in the picture are not included, although any information is provided The storage location is missing, undoubtedly the two in the Naples Museo Nazionale and in the Santangelo Collection Copper coins, which Fiorelli Cat. mus. naz. p. 16 n. 708 and Cat. Santangelo p. 8 n. 500 mentioned. These coins with the most common Campanian types (Apollo's head - from the Nike crowned bull with human face) were by Fiorelli based on her inscription of the reverse side after Fistelia given 0. Garrucci assumes that on these two pieces ,,il name di Fistelia 6 variamente tradotto^^, finds it remarkable- worth that in Stlioru the first syllable of the city name, namely jFC-, is omitted and ultimately means .^FUteliont pare un genitivo del patronimico FUteliontes o sia FUteliatae , che si pu6 It is possible to have a Barbaro dialetto''. It is clear in all of these Just remarks that for Qt. the Oscan language a “barba” rian dialectf' is^ with which one can perform all sorts of tricks can, without making an impact on the Oscan character, e.g. b You can say Sielia or Stlia instead of Fütelia; how the Author the “various translation of the name Fistelia ^ thinks is not quite clear, and it is also unclear which of the double He considers the legends of these coins to be Greek or Oscan

Since our repeated request for prints to be sent These coins are unfortunately not taken into account by the Naples Museum has remained, we cannot examine it more closely make and therefore only express the opinion in conjecture ans, they might be wild specimens of a campanian Trade coin.

170 H. Throttle:

The small tablets LXXXIX n. 24 - 27 depicted silver Stficke already had Carelli because of his similarity in type Didrachms from Fistelia assigned to this city. Garrucci frat realized that he too had already placed it in Fistelia when he received it discovery that there was a specimen in his collection found “con una meta di leggenda ^V4 che facilmente si riduce a ^V4T^I$^^ But the illustration (n. 27) shows this common .. from by no means confirmed, if at all correct, that the indicated remains of writing are present.

The epithet in the passage of n. 25 is not “un serpe^^ but a thyrsus adorned with ribbons, like these Figure shows correctly.

N. 28 gives the inscription in a strangely confused form; However, there are wild specimens of this type: cf. Numism. Contributions a. a. 0. p. 249, note.

If the text takes on a different G shape, I want that Oscan linguists warn in a very special way. It This is certainly not to deny that it went wild specimens of this type can exist; however, how much Verlaas on Garrucci's readings and illustrations, teach the previous previous and following comments are sufficient. lie to me There are 12 copies of this coin, all of which say Fistluis* )^ and I have seen the same thing on many others before read *).

2) If in Gat. of Greek coins in the Brit mus., Italy, p. 123 n. 4-6 If copies are given with FistvlU, this is probably based on one very easily explained error in the reading, since the letters V4 on These small monssens very often take the form V^, so 4 and V can easily be confused with each other.

Some remarks on Oamicci's "Monete dell'Italia antica". 171

The one according to Fiorelir's Ann. di num. Plate I, 5 reproduced Silberstack n. 35 is a defective copy of mine published in the article p. 252, which has already been mentioned several times Mfinze named UpsUa. If, by the way, Garrucci neither this coin, nor the new one announced there Fistelia type, it is only logical Follow the ignore system mentioned at the beginning of this section.

Gaiatia.

The so far only known Mfinze of the city of Caiatia the inscription Caiatino (the illustration on plate LXXXVIII, 16 gives CAIATINO, the text is correct CAIATINO) G. now adds one new ones added (n. 15) with an Oscan legend that corresponds to the text follow Kaiatinim^ after the illustration reads Kaiattnim. The Type is the ordinary campanian with the head of Apollo and the bull with a human face crowned by Nike. Unfortunately, we don't know where the coin is. finds and whether she has seen G. herself.

What is remarkable is that this piece is based on a Nolaner Coin should be embossed: in front of the head of Apollo “rimangono le tracoe della loggingde NOA relativea al tipo anteriore^' and the Figure confirms this. Without the explicit mention Whether it was minted would be a federal coin between Nola and Caiatia can think.

Malies.

The ones recorded by MUlingen (Consid. p. 223 f.) The current view is that the coins designated as Malies are the later want to belong to the city called Beneventum Garrucci further elaborated and sought to confirm this.

The contribution is probably correct; it's just the yerf.'s generally against Mommsen (cf. Rom. Münzw. p. 316). The claim was that the inscription was purely Greek written in Bach letters, obsolete; and with that comes that too The conclusion drawn from this is that the Mfinze is defeated

Phrases like “credo io, nostra interpretazione, mi pare'^ then his detailed refutation of earlier Germans his actions and especially his confrontation with Borghesi create the opinion that Garrucci is giving his readers the fruits own research into this coin. From him probably only comes from the broad debate; because that Refutation of Viscontf and Borghesi as well as the correct interpretation of the coin can be found, only shorter and more concise, already in Fried- countries osk. Coins p. 83 f., a book that Garrucci doesn't quite was unknown, even if he chose to ignore it (cf. above 8. 167).

When describing the coin, the publisher has stated several times mistaken. It is initially incorrect that the Pallas said “yeste una clamide decorata di un gioiello" (and also depicted in this way, n. 15): rather, she carries the aegis. It is also incorrect to state that that in the ship there is “due fasci di strali'' (p. 104) or “due

Whether the one closest to the ship Figure (Mithridates), as Garrucci claims, associated with anaxyrides can be seen (p. 104 f.), which allows us to decide that lying copies do not. The warrior on the left finally wants to appear more female than male to the author (p. 105); Garrucci would therefore like to portray him as the personification of Italia without ruling out that it is one of the Italian abbreviations could be sent. The first guess would have been better not should be pronounced, because what to explain this View added is not valid.

There are all sorts of epigraphic things to criticize in this section Inaccuracies, such as B. the ignored difference between I and h, between square and round letters, the Spelling ITAHA or ITAHA instead of ITAHA (n. 27-29). Also Mistakes of other kinds are not missing. The “decorated with gems Armor of the bust of Pallas, plate XGI, 6 is nothing other than a shaggy Aegis. This is inaccurate or rather incorrect Summary of n. 1—3, because 3 is, although otherwise with 1 and 2 agree, unwritten, what is not stated in the text is believed. The coin is completely missing from the drawing n. 5, because we miss the pointed hat on the Dioscuri's head, and the loop of the wreath is mistakenly thought to be long- flowing hair. — At n. 24. 25 (where in the text The author's inscription is mistakenly given incompletely) is part of the description of the next coin below- ran.

Up the Vf, the club is completely visible on the left Fields behind the head of Heracles, while on the otherwise occupied Known copies show Eenle shouldered, so that Most of it is hidden by Heracles' neck will. However, this variety could at least occur; on- This is the case with the representation on the other side.

Also Friedlaender had misunderstood the process here (osk. coins p. 10, 6), although the Berlin specimens reveal with complete certainty, that the shaft is in the lion's mouth and not on his shoulder.

N. 12 is in all probability not different from 13. divorced; and in the latter the “lampada accesa^' is based in place of the quiver, certainly only due to an oversight. The three specimens of this type in our collection agree with n. 13, but all have a quiver.

Whether n. 14 really gives a new type (with Apollo?), let's leave it open; It makes sense to use the work here too Temis head is to be assumed.

The small one shown under n. 15 is noteworthy Uncia with the youthful faun head (very similar to Tuder and Salapia), and the boar as on the larger Uncia. Through this specimen, which unfortunately we don't know where it is is located, Fiorelli's allocation of a copy of the collection Lung Santangelo with the inscription gone ') confirms what Gar- Rucci probably could have mentioned.

Campani. The inscription APPAMO^, although after the two on Plate LXXXVI, 19. 20 illustrated copies it is completely clear, really needs confirmation (unfortunately the answer is once again missing whether and where the author saw these two copies ^). Because just as understandable as next to the usual Kampano is a Hampano, an Appanos would be just as inexplicable. It In our opinion, these are either copies in which the first letter K was not expressed is, or a combination of the two letters KA a letter mark, like a copy of the Eönigl.

Gumae. In 1846, Fiorelli published in the Ann. di numism. P. 82 and Plate III, 5 a silver coin from the Naples collection with feral Cumanian types and a declining one Inscription which appeared to be KYMENIS to the editor (“riscrizione pare”). Garrucci now gives “his reading” Cumenis (p. 80) or actually Kumenis (p. 81, n. 6), i.e. this- same Fiorelli's. One we have, although not sharp Imprint of the coin and the good illustration by Fiorelli (Gar- rucci's reproduction is less good) show that the first Characters do not conform to the reading Kam- or Kym-. Garrucci thinks the first two characters are a failed K So the )L of the coin appears to be 31. Alone, apart from that from the fact that the two characters are far too far from each other sticking out to form a letter is rather the first not a simple hasta that would suit K or IC alone,

Neapolis. Plate LXXXV, 6. Against Minervini's attempt (Osserv num. p. 54ff.), which in the section of some didrachms with Neapolitan peculiar characters found in litanic types Friedlaender (in the Berlin sheets f. Münzk. IV p. 134 ff.) pronounced: es were, said Friedländer, “nothing but random lines an inexperienced Greek stamp cutter, the inscription NEOnOAITS2N. Garrucci, which was previously not averse to the pupils identified by Minervini to recognize niche letters (cf. Minervini a. a. 0.), is Now, after examining the originals, I have a different opinion means “che l'epigrafe, tuttochö barbara e retrograda, ostenta There are no elements in Greek and these can be interpreted per Nevnoh^ erroneamente scritto Nevn&ol.

Because the characters on the coin are long not as clear as in the illustration given by Garrucci appear: there are all sorts of dashes and ticks, which complicate the form and the sharpness of Garrucci's Significantly weaken letters, if not even overturn them. What is particularly worrying, however, is the introduction of an “Italian 11'^ in place of the Greek E, through which the author alone is able to build the reading NtvmoX.

the area of the ear is disfigured (aocfa on two other examples) plan our collection) and poor preservation like G. lead to the actually non-existent lion skin. Also the two, otherwise very poor illustrations Minervini Osserv. Plate I, 3 and at Sambon plate X, 11 show no lion skin.

The ore coin plate LXXXV, 30 is quite remarkable with the most common Neapolitan type (bull of Nike wreathed) struck on a coin from Gales with Greek Inscription, from which according to p. 85 n. 30 KAAH[NflN], after the Figure, however, KAI/^ is still visible. The coin belonged the author's collection.

The information about the naapler is certainly incorrect Copper coin located in the museum, plate LXXXV, 35 and p. 86, 35.

The first monogram is ÄA according to the illustration, the 6th strangely resolves into TA(J-, but have a Londoner (Cat. of Greek coins in the Brit mus., Italy, p. 110, 161), a Parisian one (Mionnet I pp. 119, 189) and one in ours Copy in collection all agree TU, and That probably also appears on the copy presented to G. By the way, this coin has the inscription NEOPoAlTfiN in it Section of the obverse on the Naples specimen, like that Figure shows, has not come to expression.

An unrecognized scMesisclier Bracteate

During the preparatory work for mine, probably in the next one Years published book “the coinage of the mark Brandenburg" I also had a look at the one pictured below Bracteates to employ.

In a divided pearl circle half an eagle and a fish. 0.40 Gm. (broken out). 23mm.

The bracteate is already mentioned by Köhne in his magazine for Coin* etc. Customer V, p. 271 discussed and on plate IX, no. 18 depicted there, also by him in Beichel's catalogue under No. 260 recorded and as a product of the mint Morin was issued in the Neumark. Since then there has been Nobody with this coin, which is only in one copy of the Kaiserl. Collection in the Hermitage in Petersburg is known, busy, and generally one therefore has Köhne's interpretation the MOnze as a Brandenburg character for the right taken. And yet this explanation is mistaken.

As long as I only use the bracteates after the Köhne trees I knew the messages and as long as I knew about them

Moriner had not yet informed Siegel in detail I have my doubts about the correct interpretation of Köhne. press* But now it is mine - through the goodness of the Lord State Councilor Iversen in Petersburg, who was mine last year Brother willingly made the Hermitage collection accessible has a sharp impression of the coin, and this one This also confirms my suspicion that we have the coin not for Brandenburg, but for Silesian have that Köhne therefore regarding the factory of the bracteate, which he particularly emphasizes, was wrong.

The factory of the mint is completely consistent with that of the large Silesian bracteates based on the Bohemian pattern may have appeared around 1250. There can be a doubt about that do not prevail. More or less similar arrangements of two Figures like those on the coin in question were in Silesia is not unpopular. I'll just remind you of that Bracteates at from Saurma No. 177, 237-239, 241-244, 316 and the like.

But even apart from this, we are able to divisions of the thoroughgoing Yossberg several years ago an indication, although so far unnoticed, that the bracteate cannot belong to Morin. This note happened on page 13 of the I. Delivery of his seal of the mark Brandenburg^), where he reports that the older Moriners Seals - he names ones from 1348 and 1513 - only carry an eagle and that the city was only opened during the Thirty Years' War (1639) changed their coat of arms and Since then, half a Brandenburg eagle and a fish leads.

Where does Vossberg get the year of the change in the city's coat of arms von|Morin created is my research in Moriner The city archives were not able to be identified, solely for the purpose of the assessment

Our Bracteate is already gnawing that in the XVI. year- changes the old seal with the eagle in use being. —

According to the above, it should be proven that the image of our coin from the XIII. Century not already can be related to Morin, and we have to do the same What was said first now refers to its Silesian origin believe.

By the way, the coat of arms image is half eagle and fish too can be found in Silesia, namely in the seal of the city of Beuthen a. Or. I don't know when the same thing appeared there; according to Y. Saurmas in his heraldic book of the Silesian cities and Städtel pp. 16-18 is the same in 1331, first put into use in 1360, but it stands to reason There is nothing wrong with this not having happened before could be.

Without making any assumptions about this Relationship of our Bracteate to Beuthen, in which city As far as I know, neither a sovereign nor a municipal one It was a coin to want to tie the knot, but I was still allowed to do that The coat of arms in question also occurs in Silesia Don't pass by in silence. Maybe Lord will bring us Friedensburg in his upcoming book about the large Silesian bracteates will soon provide more detailed information.

The silver fimde of TempelM

On the Gute Tempelhof, Soldin district, there are same place, repeated silver finds (jewelry and Coins) were made, thanks to the understanding Insight of the landowner Berendes in its full surroundings could be subjected to scientific testing. Even though they hardly delivered anything new, it still appears A short discussion is required in the interest of finding statistics.

The first of these finds is in the Märkisches Provinzial-Museum in Berlin, and E. Friedel has written extensively about him. in the “Negotiations of the Berlin Society for Anthropology” pology etc.", year 1878 p. 13 reported. He passed from silver clasps and other jewelry, as well as 10 oriental and 4 German coins.

The oriental coins are mostly Samanid most recently minted between 943 and 950, plus a “Nordic (barbarisireude) Imitation of a Kufic coin, illegible, like the similar imitations of Roman and Byzantine ones Coins.'* The German ones were three Regensburg denarii Henry I (948-955) and a slightly clearer denarius bishop üdo's from Strasbourg (950-965) with head turned to the left and unrecognizable transcription.

OsnaMck or Cologne.

Regarding the small essay that I wrote in B. XIV p. 43 of the “Zeit- schrift für Numismatik*' is published in No. 6 des “Numism.-sphragist. Anzeigers^* from June 30, 1886 a criticism appeared, which issued a few words of reply- demands.

The article in question is based on the fact that the following Pos. 2 coin edited by me is “obviously a replica coin*”, and that the designation of the mint owner as ABCiOGS is the ver- laying of position 1 to Osnabrück. Now here's what As far as the latter objection is concerned, it is not necessary to deny that it is The legend given in “Archiepiscopus** can be added must and that no medieval coin has been known to date is on which a suffragan bishop meets the archiepiscopal one Title attached. But the author is wrong in that the bishop would have called himself that, while in reality- The stamp cutter has attached a title which is not the right one. These die cutters were like that masses of meaningless transcriptions, uneducated ones People who couldn't read themselves and work from templates teten. In our case, the die cutter has no doubt A Cologne coin served as a model, this emerges from the Cologne monogram and the Soester symbol.

That Archbishops of Cologne, Mainz, Trier and Salzburg occasionally in their own mints .,episcopus^^ is known (see also Dannenberg

pp. 29, 30), so it wouldn't be anything wonderful if that were the case if the reverse were to occur. Still, I wouldn't dared to write the piece in question for the Osnabrück bishop Arnold to claim, if not this provision through the Grote B. IV T. I No. 1 and 2 depicted denarii Philipps von Eatzenellenbogen and the one mentioned in my above The denarius Gerhard y is also shown in the th essay. Oldenburg would be suggested.

This last-mentioned piece is now referred to by Mr Ver- barrel as a “replica coin, which was probably made in Soest or appears to have been minted in Osnabrück^'. A justification for this The claim is completely missing and I tried in vain. struggles to find such reasons. The legend says clearly Ö6RHARDVS and can therefore be from an actual one Nachmünz (Dannenberg S 32) should not be a question, but rather at least an imitation (1. c. p. 38). Is she this but and It is, as the author himself assumes, in Osnabrück minted, it is a coin of Bishop Arnold from Osnabrück, on which the Cologne type followed is imitated; So it's exactly what I think it is explained in my earlier essay.

Erman relocates the activity both artists as well as those of two as yet unspecified to the Erzgebirge, where Hieronymus Magdeburger served as a stamp Schneider from Freiberg and Annaberg was active, and the Schlick's medals from nearby Joachimsthal decidedly show a relationship with his work. Neifahrer is dated a portrait medal of Johann Friedrich from 1542 and one Karls y. from the same year. The Hus Medal has to go a few years earlier, and maybe the year 1537 or not belong to the next one.

In any case, I didn't want to wait for that to leave what exists at the mercy of an unfortunate coincidence. —

On March 10, 1563, Count Ernst zu Reinstein “rented out”. at the same time in the name of his brothers Botho and Caspar Ulrich Blankenburg coin to Jacob Blass (= Blasius) Wirz- burger for three years on the condition that he “vflFStolber- gish shot and grain*' coin: “thaler, ganntze groschen and triplets.*' As a treasure, the document says, I have to give Wirzburger a hundred gold guilders every year. spoke and further promised that if he after a year bring the matter “into Schwanck” and the Count “where not four.” but three hundred gold fl. "I really want to give."

At the same time as Wirzburger, Kilian Schmidt will be serving as war- your sworn. But Wirzburger doesn't seem to be there at first expected to have driven cheaply. When he did wants to start minting, he complains about bad things about him He took over the tools of the trade and had them remade must. Soon he will also be paying the treasury has fallen into arrears and asks for payment of interest and payment Taking over a mortgage on his house. He gets, writes He, however, still receives 200 thalers from the Counts of Mansfeld always put off. According to this, Wirzburger seems to be in the service of the to have confessed to the counts mentioned, I can provide further details cannot be proven now.

Towards the end of 1563 the situation seemed to be but to have gotten better. In one of the files During this time, Wirzburger committed itself to five different coins to beat.

“taller have to go to the My: 8 pieces less 1 qt. Must keep the My: Ins feyn 14 lott 3 gren. Margin pennies must go to the M^n 100, 8, 9 and 20 pieces, these margins don't get any higher as To 9 straube ^ muntzett. Must also be on the gr. 9 \ It is the number that you should follow

2qt 2Y For this, Wirzburger wants the count 800 fl., the fl Calculated at 20 Mariengroschen, pay in four installments annually, as long as the merchants or traders provide him with the necessary materials to deliver Yer coins.

With regard to the sales of mints struck, the Letter from a merchant included in the present files Krener from Leipzig interesting, dated Nordhausen, Christmas 1564. He tells Wirzburger that he can't do it himself come to Blankenburg, but the Jew will take his place Lazarus to him for 300 thalers. Bring fagment. He should do this without delay into groschen coins and the latter to Leipzig bring. Then he should soon be back for 1000 Thlr. on fine Silver and pagement received. He should take a look at the (blank) burger) Have the coin prescribed for 2 or 3 years. What Wirzburger promised the Count in terms of treasure, He (Krener) wanted to hold him harmless. He likes that Bring the relevant prescription with you. The pennies would come all to Welschland to the Turkish border, no one would issued in Germany.

About three weeks before the arrival of this letter, on On October 6, 1564 the count already had another contract with which we learn from his somewhat later Mansfeldian, Mint masters known from the Magdeburg and Magdeburg eras

230 A. Dttning:

Barthold Meinhard, one as he signs himself, “Silberkremer from Goslar*” signed a contract for four years concluded, then Meinhard should strike

“The Thalers are like the Mansfeld ones, the system lasts fourteen lotts vir gren fine have vand eight pieces five- ten lott three quintins because of, but the prince's pennies, as honorable as the hundred and six pieces vff the mark goes, and the mark shall be finely sifted Have a lot of eight greetings.

I'll add some of Meinhard's existing notes Add the following:

“The cutters should be minted at 40 Lot because of 640 a M^ and Sol the M^ finely held 1 lot 15 grenn.'*

And on another page:

How long has Arnsburg been in the count's service?

According to the documents available, I cannot say that he confessed He still has a long time to show off in Eimbeck and other places coined. See Wolff, 1. c. He's probably still there Was in Regenstein service in 1569, since after this Year, from which, as far as I know, the most recently dated coin of comes from three count brothers (v. Mülverstedt No. 53), the Blan- Kenburger coin hammer has rested for quite some time.

At least there are no coins before 1596 Count Martin (1581-1597) became known. This is correct the fact that the count, as the papers available show, on November 11th of this year, i.e. only towards the end of his life, with the Hildesheim mint master Christoph Tiess, the “younger one” he calls himself, a contract completed for ten years. See Cappe, Hildesheim, pp. 48, 49, 123, where his name is spelled Diess, also Dyess. As Hans Meier was assigned to him at his side. How long This was minted in Blankenburg, whether it continued after the death of soon after the appointment of its mint master on April 3, 1597 Count Martin died under the reign of the count Johann Ernst, the last of his family (d. 1599, July 9th), I am able to mint the coins that went out, as this is documented unfortunately the material has been exhausted and cannot be stated.

I er- I remembered that there was a Count Heinrich von Stade ^) ben, I also remembered that his second night follower Udo I. imitated Ethelred's pennies, as I did recently when discussing the Vossberg find (vol. XI, p. 284 of the present day) have proven, and since our denarii are also The Ethelreds are close, so it wasn't up to me to make that connection. The answer to the question is that now upon closer examination which I also harbored against the allocation to Erik Jarl Doubts in view of all these circumstances would have increased to the point that that I should now rather give the coins to Stadic Count Hein- Rich II must award.

The reasons for this lie primarily in the name Heinrich and Hroza. There are quite a few coins from Nordic princes of the name Erich, especially King Erich IL Magnusson of Norway (1280-1299), by Erik Emune (1134-1137), Erik Lam (1137-1147), Erik Plougpenning (1232-1250), Erik Glipping (1259-1286), Erik Menved (1286—1319), Erik von Pomerania (1396-1439), all kings of Denmark, also by King Erich of Sweden (1396—1439), by Erich Erz- Bishop of Drontheim (1510-1522) and King Erich von Northumberland, the son of Harald of Norway (927 - 951); But never and nowhere does the name appear on these coins under the form of Heinricus, but without exception as Eric, Ericus, like Saint Erich, always on heavy terms written in different coins. With whatever permission you want So one assumes that Erik Jarl's die cutter, himself if, against all odds, he is not a native or an Anglo-Saxon, but rather a German one

The value of coinage for history is determined by This denarius was once again made quite clear. Because they had agreed, taking into account what had happened so far known oldest coins mark the beginning of the coinage of the patrician Arches before Aquileia in the beginning of the thirteenth century to move it because by leaving aside a completely unbelievable worthy message about the awarding of the right to mint to the Patriarch Theudimar (856) the documents in which emperor Konrad IL i. J. 1028 gave this to our Poppo, now is considered counterfeit'). But that doesn't mean anything

Although one could Doubters may have concerns about the idea Documents are claimed, also on these our metal ones Extend the document, but that would have to be one to which the Financial science is completely foreign because of internal reasons Such doubts about the coin's authenticity are completely absent at all, and just as little does their origins offer even that the slightest reason, indeed, on the contrary, she is a latecomer the Jarocin finds described (Vol. VII p. 146 d, Z.), and it is needless to add that mine also perfectly reliable informant did not recognize them, but on the Poppo von Trier of the same name. This is too Despite their excellent preservation, this is no wonder, because... Type is so foreign to Italy and so truly German that I, too, had a Bavarian character at first sight believed me. It is precisely this circumstance that gives her a further interest, and could almost determine us, she the German to incorporate coins, especially since Aquileia has had one since 1509 part of the German Empire. However, it is important to pay attention, as already indicated above, in this early period the factory difference between German and Italian Coins do not stand out so sharply, and not just the minting from Milan, Payia, Verona and Lucca, but even some Romans offer a lot of similarity to Germans').

I. The Ragow find.

The Berlin newspapers, which report on events on the The coin customer only rarely offers to take note, and then Of course, only in the manner of political newspapers in a way that is not very conducive to science October 1886 there are repeated reports of someone in the village of Ragow not far from Lübbenau in Lower Lusatia, as if it were something completely phenomenal. But he is at most in the respect that most such finds in Scandinavia, Poland and the Russian Baltic Sea provinces come, in our areas west of the Oder there- have only been observed very little. A significant numerical However, one could expect a significant yield from him. can hardly promise its limited number, nnd after he had given me the favor of the district physicist Dr. See Galau, who described it for the Lower Lusatian anthropological logical society has acquired, made accessible I still consider my massive expectations to be too sanguine must know. Nevertheless, it seems like a duty, even to him to snatch from oblivion with a short description, because even though he doesn't have a single unknown piece to us has delivered, it does give rise to a few comments.

The 200 whole coins that he collected alongside a number of fractional pieces and the usual addition of broken jewelry pieces contained are distributed as follows.

248 H. Dannenberg:

they are embossed on very thin metal plates and therefore appear almost like bracteates.

The reason can probably only be found in the fact that back then the denomination of the coins to be minted is not the same Accuracy as later applied.

The decision is made here, as in Obrzycko's finds Stolp, Kawallen, Simoitzel and Schöningen a Roman denarius, namely

Among the fragments are, apart from a few Arabic a few (Samanid?) dirhems to mention such a basic

The reasons given for this are based on incorrect assumptions, and I would rather have them, at least the very related ones Townspeople consider the coinages (a. a. 0. 3) to be Frisian, for what reason the neighborhood of the originals and the light, the late the corresponding weight could be quoted for other Frisian coins.

Above 200 coins, in which number the 52 is partly very tiny fragments are not included the year 1010 will be handed over to the earth. That the Adelheids coins predominate even more than usual, so against the otherwise so common people from Cologne and Begensburg withdraw is easily explained by the fact that the coinage sites of the Adelheids in Saxony, probably in Magdeburg, on the border with the Slavic East, i.e. in the nearest one The neighborhood of the place of discovery should be looked for.

Century occurring semi-bractates would form. Of course, this is only a faint glimmer in such darkness.

They are half turning pfennigs, the majority from Magdebui*ger Type, with the building and cross (Dannenberg a. a. 0.

This penny is no longer completely unknown, because court master has it (Vol. IV, p. 209 No. 5839) based on my copy described, but it undoubtedly deserves an illustration, since he claims our interest in several ways. First of all because of his extraordinary, the other older ones Hessian coins have a beauty that far exceeds that, then because he the series of large ones minted according to the Meissen pattern schen opened, which until now was with his son Ludwig the Peace manufacture began, furthermore because, from this coin Apart from that, only those of him are known that he wrote in narrow Kalden as a co-owner alongside Henneberg, but of course- lich in the Franconian style, had it embossed ^), finally because here a degree of relationship is stated that, to my knowledge, would otherwise sens appears nowhere in the wide area of coin studies. However, degrees of relationship are very rarely found on the Coins not labeled, but that's usually just what it is approach: son (PhS • HIL • Re6 • HRTJQ Count of Poitou, R(obert) DVX FIUVS EIVS namely the W(ilhelm) REX from Sicily, Edward the Black Prince as primogenitus regis Angliae, Dzu'l Nun or Danunes as OYIC TOY MBAHK MAXAMATH (see Vol. VI, p. 45 current), father (Max I, v. d.
