It is evident from Pausanias' statements, confronted with the coins, that the one among the many stories as to the history of Ino and Melicertes or Palaemon which was accepted at Corinth was that which represented that Ino and Melicertes leaped into the sea at Megara, and Palaemon was borne by a dolphin to the part of the Isthmus where was the sanctuary of Poseidon ; that he there died and was buried, and after death was worshipped as a hero, and honoured by funeral games. It is not easy to reconcile this tale, and the peculiar artistic representation of Melicertes as a young boy which prevailed at Corinth, with the view of those who suppose Melicertes to be a form of the Tyrian god Melkarth. But this matters little to the present purpose, for it is certain that the Corinthians knew nothing of the proposed identification. On coins there are three schemes of Palaemon and the dolphin : sometimes he is sitting on it, sometimes standing, sometimes lying; the standing figure certainly belongs to the group of gold and ivory set up by Herodes Atticus in the temple of Poseidon ; the lying figure is connected with the pine-tree and the altar under it, as well as with the round temple of Palaemon ; the seated figure may perhaps be copied from the statue mentioned by Pausanias lower down (ll. 3, 4). But of course such distinctions are too nice to be strongly insisted on. Figures of Ino and Melicertes, as of Poseidon and other types of Corinthian coins are to be found on the splendid cameo of Vienna (Overbeck, Kunstmyth. in., Gemmentafel II. 8), which presents us with an abridged picture of the region. 2.

These figures in chariots may be confronted with Pausanias' description, II. 1, 7 above quoted, of the group of Poseidon and COBINTH. 17 Amphitrite in a chariot drawn by four horses. The coins cannot, however, embody a reminiscence of the group, as the date of Herodes is later than that at which they were struck. Of the various figures of Poseidon thus far mentioned the only one which can be regarded as a copy of a statue is that which figures Poseidon as seated (D LLV.-VL), holding dolphin and trident. This type has the air of the cultus-statue of a temple ; but we cannot be sure of the particular temple, for on one coin the seated Poseidon is confronted with an athlete which seems to point to the Isthmus, in another with Pallas, which seems to indicate the market-place.

The coin of Millingen (D LX.) is important, as it enables us to identify positively the type of Poseidon represented in the bronze statue of the mole. Poseidon stood erect and naked with a dolphin in one hand and a trident in the other, a figure well adapted for execution in bronze and for a statue of great size. The date of its erection must have been subsequent to the colony of Caesar ; had it belonged to the old city Mummius would scarcely have spared such a mass of metal. In case of the B. M. coin (D- LXII), the second dolphin at the feet of the god may be held to stand for the water of the harbour which flowed at his feet. The head of Aphrodite on the last coin cited must stand for an abbreviated representation of the temple dedicated to her. 18 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. 12. Paus. II. 2, 3.

The hunting Artemis in D LXVIII. must be a copy of a statue in her temple ; not the archaic xoanon, but a later figure such as the- Greeks from the fifth century onwards commonly set up in the cella in place of the early statues, still retaining the latter in the background. The figure in 3) LXIX. would seem to be a copy of the statue which stood in the baths of Eurycles near a statue of Poseidon, and in the neighbourhood of his temple. On the coin the figure of Poseidon is nearly obliterated : it is not indeed certain that Poseidon is the deity represented : the figure seems to wear a long chiton. 13. Paus. II. 2, 4.

The coin of Antoninus (E LXXXVII.) seems to represent a statue, since the scheme of a figure resting on the trunk of a tree as a support is more appropriate to sculpture than to die-sinking. This figure is remarkable in being entirely nude. The type of the first coin, (E LXXXVI.), is closely like the seated Hermes, of which we shall speak below ; indeed, so like that both would seem to be work of one artist or one school, probably of Imperial times. 19.

Zeus is entirely undraped, and of a scheme which especially befits bronze. If the Sicyonian statue of Zeus Meilichius was a copy of that of Argos, it must 30 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. have been seated, like the second type here cited. See below under Argos. 7.

We are told that it was brought from Pherae. The coins of Pherae, from the fourth century onwards, present us with a female figure holding two torches or one torch, which may be meant for Artemis, but more probably represents Hecate, a deity greatly worshipped in the south of Thessaly. But the distinction is not important, as the torch-bearing Artemis and Hecate are closely allied. 12. Paus. II. 11, 2. Kara/SaiVoucri St &>9 ejrl TO TreSiOV lepov (TTIV evravQa A^/y^Tpo?'

The Athene of the coin seems an interesting record of the archaic statue of Dipoenus and Scyllis, whom Pliny gives to the 50th Olympiad, and who were among the first to produce national Greek types of various divinities. The present coin- type represents a figure of Athene retaining the pose of the still older Palladia, but far more refined in detail. The helmet is larger, the aegis on the breast worked out ; folds appear in the chiton, and the feet are articulate. 2. OTHER TYPES : Eagle on altar. (See Argos.) Asklepios seated with dog (cf.

One coin figured (K XXXVII.) differently represents the action of Leto's right hand, Avhich clearly, on the later coins, seems raised to a quiver on her shoulder. On this coin also the head of Leto is turned to the left, on the other coins to the right. But it is easy to see that these slight varia- tions only arise from the fact that in the case of the first coin the artist made an attempt to represent the statue from the front, while in the case of the later coins it is depicted in profile. Com- bining our representations we can form a fairly complete notion of the statue of Praxiteles. Leto stood clad in a long chiton with diplois, holding some object (a torch ?) in her left hand, and raising her right to her shoulder. The small figure of Chloris was close to her elbow, clad like the goddess herself. 17. Paus. II. 22, 1. 'AvriKpv 8e rov yctv^/iaio? r&v yvvai/cwv fa-riv iepov eTriicXrjaiv TIeXaa-yiSos. Cf. 18, 3.

LXVIIL] IN the present paper we continue the commentary begun in last year's Journal, and set forth the numismatic facts which run parallel to those books of Pausanias which deal with the remainder of Peloponnesus ; Laconia, Messenia, Elis, Achaia, and Arcadia. Athens, Phocis, and Boeotia still remain for future treatment. In spite of our efforts to be complete, we have already dis- covered a number of coins of Corinth and Argos and the neighbouring cities which had escaped us, and which present new types, or important varieties of the types which appear in our plates. This will necessitate the publication of a supplement to our first paper. While this is in preparation numismatists will be doing the greatest service if they will let us have casts of any types in their possession which are omitted in the de- scriptions or the plates of this paper or the last. Casts of unusual coins of imperial times of Phocis or Boeotia will also be most welcome. For the purposes of the present paper, in addition to the material already laid up by the editors, the authorities of the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris have kindly allowed us to have casts of all the coins in that collection selected as desirable ; and Dr. von Sallet, of the Royal Museum of Berlin, has sent to London, with the utmost friendliness and liberality, casts of F 54 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. all important coins of Peloponnesus of imperial times in his keeping. In this instalment of the work, the numismatic lists and comments have alike been compiled by the English colleague ; the Swiss colleague has supplied casts and carefully revised the whole. The text used is that of Schubart, not of Schubring, as stated by a lapsus pennae in the first article. The method of numbering in the plates has been modified for reasons of convenience.

Hed. in. 61, 45.) In his Attica (l. 33, 1) Pausanias says that in the temple of Artemis at Brauron there was an archaic xoanon ; but in his opinion this was not the original. In the above-quoted passage, he says further that the original statue was still extant at Laodicea in Syria. That the figure on the coins of Laodicea is a copy of this original, carried off from Attica, is sufficiently evident. Pausanias seems to have thought that the Spartan statue of Artemis Orthia had a better claim to have been brought from Taurica than even the Laodicean statue. However that be, there can be no doubt that the statue represented on the Laodicean coins is very original and interesting. The goddess wears on her head a modius ; in one hand she carries not a bipennis but an axe of the form of a socketed celt ; she is clad in long drapery, in the disposition of which, as well as in the pose of her legs, but little archaism is visible. Beside her are two stags, which make the identification certain. The shield is an attribute unusual in the case of Artemis, but not unheard of. Pausanias (iv. 13, 1) heard at Messene of an ancient statue of Artemis, which had on one occasion let fall its shield ; and Iphigerieia is sometimes represented as carrying a statue, which in any hands but hers might pass for a Palladium. See Gerhard in Arch. Zeitung, 1849, pi. VII. p. 70. Compare also N in. The form of the axe is very noteworthy. On the silver coins issued at Athens by Eubulides and Agathocles (Beule, Monn. d'Ath. p. 287) occurs an archaic figure of Artemis, veiled, wearing roodius, holding patera and bow, which has been by some taken for a copy of the statue existing at the time at Brauron, or (as by Beule) for a copy of an imita- tion of that statue by Praxiteles, which was preserved on the 58 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. Athenian acropolis (Paus. I. 23, 7). If either of these views be correct, there were decided differences between the statue carried off by the Persians and that made by the Athenians to replace it. 8. Paus. III. 17, 2.

Munzk. 1845, p. 2) and Jahn, but doubted by Overbeck (G-r. Plast. I. p. 1 24), who also considers it improbable that the reliefs were on the person of the goddess. It is, however, not easy to explain the words of Pausanias, except on the supposition that the reliefs were on the goddess herself, that is, on her close-fitting chiton, and the representation on the coin, which is quite sui generis, and can scarcely be interpreted except as it is by Koner, seerns to clinch the argument. In the upper part of the body we may trace something of womanly form ; the shape of the lower part seems to be sacrificed to the exigencies of the reliefs. The head on No. xiv. must almost certainly be copied from a statue, for the head of a deity, unless so copied, seldom or never appears on imperial coins of Peloponnesus. It is probably a free copy of the head of the statue of Gitiadas. The form of the helmet, half way between the close-fitting and the Corinthian types, is notable ; but unfortunately the coin is badly preserved, and the details obscure. Coins of Melos (Paris Coll. and Br. Mus. Cat., Islands, pi. xxiv. 13) bear a type which seems to reproduce the same statue ; the details, however, are not clear. Melos was a Laconian colony. Of the head of this statue we have also a record on LACEDAEMOX. 59 Melian coins of imperial times, which bear a head of Pallas distinctly archaic, with long straight tresses falling behind the ear, in a close-fitting helmet (N xv.). 9.

The work seems to be of the same school as the statue of Athene already mentioned, but ruder and earlier, the body showing no approach to the human form. As to the exact form of the body, however, the coins differ: the earlier make it clad and conical, the later like a term. We can scarcely doubt that the later representation (N xvn.) is more faithful, since it belongs to a time when the die cutter took smaller liberties with his model. On it the body of the deity is divided by crossing lines into lozenge-shaped divisions, no doubt repre- senting the plates of bronze ; one can even detect on the coin the nails by which these are secured. The head of the deity is archaic, with long curl falling on to the neck, and a queue behind. The whole is let into a stand or basis. 10.

This is a clear instance of the copy of a statue on coins ; the type of the statue is, however, quite ordinary. It seems that the temple is rendered on the coin with some exactness. It is seen nearly in profile from its left side. To the extreme left are two pillars, which stand for the front of the temple ; next an unroofed space, vaos, in which stands the statue; and furthest to the right an opisthodomos with roof. That this is what is intended seems to be proved by the fact that the corner of the aetoma does not reach to the furthest pillar; but aetoma and pillars and the deity himself are all represented in a perspective 62 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. which is not correct, too much facing the spectator.

The wreath in the field may indicate that it, like most of the autonomous coins issued in Greece during Roman domination, was struck on the occasion of a festival. As to the head on the obverse, we cannot be sure whether it is meant for Messene or Tyche, or the Mother of the Gods. There is something in its aspect which seems to show that it is meant for the copy of a work of art. Almost all the great statues at Messene were made by Damophon at the time of the restoration of the city by Epaminondas, B.C. 370. Our coins enable us to restore the outlines of several of the statues of this interesting artist, of whom apart from coins and the statements of Pausanias we know nothing. 3. Paus. IV. 31, 10.

Among the statues thus reproduced are the Olympian Zeus of Pheidias, the Aphrodite Pandemos of Scopas, and the Dionysus of Praxiteles. In the recent excavations at Olympia a large number of coins of E)is of the Imperial age were found, and are now in the Athenian coin- cabinet.

The attitude is less stiff, and more graceful. The mantle of Aphrodite seems to envelop her sides and back completely, and the chiton reaches to her feet; only her head and arms appear; in the treatment of these and of the drapery the charm of the statue must have consisted. 6.

[This is a mistake ; the head is really of the Olympian Zeus, P XXIIL] Dr. Weil has ably shown that the figure of Dionysus on the coin of Hadrian is very probably a copy of the statue of Praxi- teles. In addition to internal evidence, the fact that the other coins of Hadrian bear copies of statues points in this direction. We reproduce Weil's cut, made under his direction from the -coins. 74 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. The forms of the god are rather effeminate ; his garment, fastened at his neck, falls round his lower limbs in full folds ; the left leg is crossed over the right. His left elbow rests on a prop over which also hangs his upper garment. Beside him is on one side a panther, on the other his thyrsus and tympanum. In his left hand is a cup, in his right he lifts aloft a rhyton. 7. OTHER TYPES at Elis. Female figure (Olympia ?) facing, holds eagle and palm branch ; at her feet two rivers reclining. M Hadr.

On the reverse of the coins above described appears a figure clad in a short chiton, holding in one hand a torch, in the other a short thyrsus or spear. This appears in our plates, Q xil. Leake supposes it to be a representation of the figure of Dionysus contained in the chest. A Dionysus it may be, but it can 7(5 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. scarcely stand for a statue supposed to have been brought from Ilium, and so, presumably, of archaic type. There is something to be said for the view of Kenner (St. Flor., I. c.\ that the deity represented is rather Artemis Triclaria, with whose cultus the box containing the Dionysus was closely connected. 21, 1.

In this case it is clear that either the people of Patrae copied their cultus-statue from that of the Corinthians, or the people of Corinth from the Patreans. The standing figure of Hermes (R v.) also nearly resembles one on a coin of Corinth (E Lxxxvi.). AEGIUM. 1. Paus. VII. 23, 5.

There can be scarcely a doubt that these figures reproduce the group of Damophon ; on all the coins the snake-entwined altar appears as a sort of identification ; and the separate figures on IX. and X. are exactly reproduced in the group on XI. We thus gain definite and welcome information as to the style of Damophon, information which seems to show that in repre- senting Asklepios he followed the type of the Zeus of Pheidias. In his Hygieia, also, which is of noble and majestic type, he seems to have followed the traditions of the best school. This confirms the view of Brunn (Gr. K. t I. 291), 'we shall not err in recognising in Damophon one of the most religious artists of his time, who endeavoured to retain art at that level of moral elevation to which it had been raised, principally by Pheidias.' 3.

Font., Z6YC M6TAC, the second word being indistinct, so that there stood on the coin either Z6YC MGTAC or, perhaps, ZGYC CCUTHP. On the Paris coin (R xm.) the reading seems to be AITIGUJN FIAIC, 'the child of the people of Aegae.' The figure of Zeus on both the coins on our plate is beardless. There can be no question that this striding archaic figure is intended to represent a statue ; this is proved by the basis or plinth, sometimes hung with wreaths, on which he stands. A doubt may, however, be entertained which of the statues of Zeus mentioned by Pausanias is here intended: he speaks of two, both archaic, and both beardless. He seems to ascribe one of the two to Ageladas of Argos, and our coin-type is in attitude just like that which reproduces the statue by Ageladas preserved at Messene (P v.). It is not important to decide the question, as the attitude of the figure of Zeus on the coins is quite conventional. The hinder foot does not rest flat on the ground, but the heel is raised ; and the anatomy of the body is well rendered, but the treatment of the hair, which falls in long curls, is archaic. There seems insufficient foundation for Jahn's theory that Zeus under this form is regularly Polieus. Zeus as an infant suckled by the she-goat Amaltheia; on either side, tree ; above, eagle with spread wings. M Auton. Bull, dell' 1. 1843, p. 109. (Streber, Denkschr. d. 1C. Acad. zu Munch. vii. pi. n. 26.) Bibl. Turin. (R xiv.) The proper home of the myth of Amaltheia was in Crete ; but there was probably at Aegium a local legend which in H 86 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. some way connected the name of the city with her, Atytov with ail;. 4.

Female figure seated, holds wreath and long sceptre (R xvi.). M Geta. Zeus as above. M. S. IV. 30, 168. As all the bronze coins of the Achaean League bear these types, they would seem to represent the principal deities of the place of meeting of the League. After the destruction of Helice, this was Aegium, and solemn sacrifices were offered to the principal deities of that city. It seems that the historical associations connected with Zeus Homagyrius made him a peculiarly suitable patron-deity for the League. The figure on the coin, a naked Zeus, holding Victory in his hand, may well be a copy of a statue set up in this temple in the days of the revival of the League, or possibly at an earlier period. The figure of the reverse may, perhaps, be Demeter Panachaia, but it certainly has none of the attributes of Demeter. It would therefore be preferable to regard it as representing not Demeter but Achaia personified. Similarly Aetolia appears on coins of the Aetolian League, Bithynia on those of the Bithynian kings, Koma on those of Rome, &c. The following is certainly Demeter : Demeter standing, holds in right hand poppies and corn, in left hand, sceptre. M L. Verus. Leake, Suppl. Eur. p. 111. (R xvn.)

Eucleides was probably a contemporary of Damophon, and he seems, if we may judge from the very slight evidence which remains (see under Bura), to have followed the same tendencies. 3. Paus.

This is a most interesting illustration of what 'Pausanias con- sidered to be the early style of Pheidias. The character of the figure on our coin is far earlier than the Athenian statues of Pallas by Pheidias, and in type approaches such figures as the Athene Chalcioecus N xtn., or the statue by Dipoenus and Scyllis at Cleonae H I. The device on the shield of the god- dess is on our coin (S x.) not clear, it looks like the upper part of a human figure ; in the Arigoni Cat. it is drawn as the upper part of a Giant or Triton. It may very probably be only a winged Gorgoneion. The hair of the goddess seems to fall in a queue behind ; her closely- fitting chiton is divided 92 NUMISMATIC COMMENTAEY ON PAUSANIAS. into a set of vertical bands, which bands may possibly have been adorned with scenes in relief, as in the case of the Pallas of Gitiadas; her aegis falls over her bosom as a breast-plate.

It is, however, shewn in Imhoof's Monnaies Grecques, p. 196, that they were probably issued at Heraea, and have reference to the cultus of Zeus at Olympia and that of Artemis at Heraea. PHIGALEIA. 1.

It may, perhaps, be doubted whether the statue which served as model for the coin V xxi. was the statue by Endoeus, re- moved to Rome by Augustus, or the later statue called Hippia brought to supply its place. Brunn (G. K. I. 118) has shewn that the date of Endoeus must be brought down to about B.C. 500, and the type of statue on our coin is not inappropriate to such a time ; but on the other hand it is unlikely that the die-cutters of Tegea would attempt in the time of Severus to reproduce a statue removed to Rome, rather than one which remained among them, and the attitude on the coin is well suited to Athene Hippia if we suppose her driving in her chariot against the Giants.

J5 Hadrian. Sestini, Mus. Hederv. pi. x. 2. For this coin our only authority is the plate of Sestini's work, which is not altogether trustworthy ; the lyre seems impossibly small, and the letters TTYOIA may be suspected; in fact it is not unlikely that the figure described by Sestini may be identical with that in the next description.

Apollo- standing ; in right hand branch or patera ; left arm resting on pillar and holding lyre. M Hadrian. Mion. S. III. 499. 38 (Vaillant). Caracalla. Mion. n. 98, 31 (Vaillant). The types thus far described are such as can with reasonable probability be supposed really to represent the temple at Delphi and objects contained in it. First we have the front of the temple (X XXII.) supported by six Ionic columns and sur- mounted by a pediment, in which may be discerned a standing figure with arm raised as if to strike, and two animals crouching in the corners. Steps lead up to the temple. The letter E, which occupies the intercolumniation, is no doubt the mysterious Delphic el as to which Plutarch has written : it here stands, in the shorthand usual in Greek art, for all the wise and witty sayings set up in the pronaiis. Next comes a side view of the same temple (X xxiv.), the pediment occupied by a mere disk. In the front appears a naked standing figure of Apollo, his elbow resting on a column. This figure repeated in X xxvi. would seem to be the principal statue of Apollo in the Temple. Two other sets of coins present to us a figure in general pose closely like this, but varied in attribute and detail. Of one set, only known from the descriptions of Vaillant, we are unable to figure a specimen. The other type appears as Y I. Here the figure of Apollo is doubly localised, by the presence of the river-god, and by the tripod on a stand in the background, which tripod is the type of Y n. It has been wrongly supposed that this tripod stands for that dedicated by the Greeks after Plataea and placed on the brazen serpents still preserved at Constantinople (cf. Paus. X. 13, 9), wrongly, since in Pausanias' time the tripod had already disappeared and only the stand remained. Rather it stands for the sacred tripod whereon the soothsaying priestess, the Pythia, sat to deliver her oracles. On the coin published by Sestini it is inscribed TTYOIA ; this inscription, supposing it really to exist, is somewhat ambiguous : it may indicate that the tripod was dedicated in memory of a victory in the Pythian games, or it may have a more local signification. When we reach the question in what part of the temple the statues copied on these coins existed we land in great difficulties. The two statues mentioned by Pausanias are that of Apollo Moeragetes, and a golden statue undescribed, kept in the DELPHI. 121 adytum. The latter statue is mentioned by various writers, but not described. Wieseler (Denkm. U. 134) observes that the statue probably held a lyre, but even this is not completely established by the passages he cites, Plutarch, de Pyih. orac. 16, Sulla 12. li is therefore not improbable that the figure on the coins above mentioned may be the Apollo of the adytum, though we must mention as an alternative possibility that that statue is repeated rather on some of the coins mentioned below which bear .the type of a Citharoedic Apollo. The golden statue can scarcely be supposed to be of earlier date than the times of Onomarchus, or it would probably have been seized by him. Paus. X. 16, 3.

We have here a large group of types of Apollo the origin of which we cannot refer to any known statue at Delphi. The first type (Y ill.) certainly has a statuesque appearance, and Y IV. belongs to that class of representations of Apollo Citha- roedus of which the origin is attributed to Scopas. As to these see Overbeck in the Berichte of the Saxon Academy, 1886. Wieseler (Denkmaeler, II. 134a) regards the figure on the coin as a copy of a statue in the theatre of Delphi. The seated figures of Apollo cannot be traced back to a sculptural original : one of them (Y VII.) belongs to a period when we should expect the die-sinker to invent a type for himself, and not to copy a statue ; the other two are of imperial times, but cannot be identified. The latter of the two heads of Apollo (Y vui., ix.) is probably copied from a statue ; the queue falling on the neck of the god behind, and the severe features seem to indicate a work of early ait.

The literature which treats of the Parthenos statue of Pheidias and its reproductions in statuette relief and coin is so extensive that it is quite impossible here to summarise the results which it establishes. The coins add little to our knowledge ; but on one or two points their testimony is important : (1) the prop which on the Athenian statuette discovered in 1881 supported the right hand of Athene does not appear on the Athenian coins ; but it does on a leaden tessera at Berlin, which bears the inscription A O E and reproduces the Parthenos statue (v. Sallet, Zeit.f. Num. x. p. 152.) On the Cilician coin above cited, the stump of a tree is similarly introduced as a support. In our plates will be found several instances in which a prop appears to have been placed under the arm of a statue, see E LXXXVIL, N xxiv., IX., T vn., and more particularly the reproductions of the early statue of Artemis Laphria at Patrae on pi. Q, and the seated female figure, pi. EE xvi, xvn., who rests her hand on a column. (2) The animal on the side of the helmet of Athene on late silver coins of Athens is generally quite clearly a Pegasus (as in xxm.) but sometimes, though rarely, certainly a griffin. The coin of Imperial times (xxiv.) gives us a nobler, and in some respects truer, representation of the original, but the details cannot be made out. The coin of Alexandria (xxv.) adds the Sphinx as a support of the crest, and distinctly con- firms the probability, established by coins and gems, that the visor of Athene's helmet was adorned with foreparts of four horses. Schreiber (Arch. Zeit. 1884, p. 196) remarks that owls are sometimes found on the coins in the place of the fore- c 2 128 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. parts of horses ; such coins are entirely unknown to us ; the foreparts of horses are universal, and it can scarcely be doubted that they represent something which existed over the forehead of the Parthenos statue. A curious variant, however, occurs in the gold reliefs of St. Petersburg which give the head of the Parthenos (Athen. Mittheil. 1883, pi. xv., p. 291). In this case a sphinx supports the crest, flanked by Pegasus on each side ; but over the forehead, in the place of the foreparts of horses, are foreparts of griffins and stags alternately. 2. ATHENE PROMACHOS (0). Athene facing, head left, spear transversely in right hand, shield on left arm, aegis on breast. M B. M. (Z i.) Imh. Loebbecke (Z n.) Beule 390, 7. Lange in Arch. Zeit. 1881, 147. Similar; before her, snake. M Hunter, pi. x. 39. On the whole Lange's identification of this type as a reproduction of the Promachos of Pheidias seems sound. He maintains that the turn of the head visible on the coin reproduces a turn of the statue's head which was directed towards its right shoulder. He considers that the relief and statues published by von Sybel in the Athenian Mittheil. 1880, p. 102, also represent Athene Promachos. 3. THE ACROPOLIS. The Acropolis-rock ; on it to the left the Parthenon, to the right a staircase leading up to the Propylaea ; between these, figure of Athene on basis ; below, cave in which Pan seated to left. & B.

Similar, right and left transposed. M Beule, 394, 2. Berlin. Michaelis Paus. descr. arcis, p. 1, 3. Loebbecke (Z vu.) in. iv. and v. of the plate represent roughly the Acropolis as seen from the north-west angle, in which aspect the marble stair- case leading up to the Propylaea would appear on the extreme right, next, the Propylaea themselves, next, the bronze Athene, and next, the Parthenon ; the Paneion being somewhat to the left of the staircase. The staircase is the principal feature of the view, this epyov T% dvaftdcrea)? was executed in the THE ACROPOLIS. 129 reign of Gains (C.I.A. iii. 128485). The coins axe all of the age of the Antonines. When, however, we come to a con- sideration of details we find much want of exactness. The Propylaea are very inadequately represented, and the orientation of the Parthenon is incorrect. M. Beule thinks that Pan is in the act of playing on the flute ; but this is very doubtful. But the most important point is the type and attitude of Athene. It is clear from the position of the statue that the intention of the die-cutter was to represent the bronze colossus of Pheidias which stood in the midst of the Acropolis, and we ought thus to gain some evidence as to the details of that colossus. But any such hope is destined to failure. On some of the coins such as Z IV., as Lange has already observed, the type represented is clearly that of the Parthenos. On others (as Z in.) she clearly holds Nike in her right hand, but her left seems to be raised. It is further a doubtful point whether the apparent differences between Z HI, and Z iv. do not arise from mere oxidation. 4. ATHENE IN PEDIMENTS (&).

Frohner, p. 137. Similar figure, holding in right hand Nike. M of Tarsus : Balbinus, &c. R. Schneider (op. cit.} discusses the origin of this type which is widely copied in sculpture (e.g. Clarac. pi. 462A, No. 858a, a small statue of Pentelic marble in the Capitoline Museum) and in reliefs, as well as on coins and gems. By the aid of a puteal 130 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. discovered at Madrid (engraved also in L. Mitchell's History of Sculpture, p. 350) he traces the running figure of Athene back to the east pediment of the Parthenon, where the birth of the goddess is depicted. The resemblance of the coin-type to Athene on the puteal is very striking ; but on the other hand we lack any satisfactory proof that the design on the puteal closely reproduces that of the pediment. Other writers, as Friederichs (Bausteine, 401) and Mr. Ernest Gardner (Journ. Hell. Stud. III. 252) have seen in the type reproduced in statues and coins of this group Athene from the west pediment. Certainly she is closely like the goddess in Carrey's drawing of that pediment, only turned in the opposite direction. The attitude of the right hand is enigmatic. Mr. E. Gardner sees in it a gesture of triumph as the goddess points to the olive of her creation, but on the Roman medallion the goddess is distinctly plucking an olive-spray from the tree. Thus it cannot be considered certain which of the pediments has furnished the prototype of this running Pallas ; but it is not improbable that she may be traced to one or the other ; her likeness to the extant figure called Iris in the eastern pediment strengthens the presumption. A figure closely similar occurs in a round temple on a gem, in Wieseler, DenJcmaler, n. 21 6c. This may be regarded as telling against the identification here proposed, but not with great force. 4. ATHENE AND POSEIDON (k and /). Olive-tree entwined by snake, owl seated in the branches.

Athene standing to left, grasping with right hand olive-tree, against which her spear leans, behind her shield and snake : on the other side of the tree Poseidon to right, his left foot resting on rock, right hand resting on trident, left hand advanced. M Roman medallion of M. Aurelius. Prov. Museum, Bonn (Z xv.) cf. the relief published by Robert in the Athens Mittheilungen for 1882. We have here two entirely distinct groups, each comprising Athene, Poseidon, and an olive-tree entwined by a snake. The first group (xi., XIL, xiv., xvi.) is closely like the celebrated group on the vase of St. Petersburg published by Stephani (CM. 1872) and repeated in this Journal (ill. p. 245), where some account is given of the various interpretations to which the group has given rise. In the other group (xv. XVII.) Athene and Poseidon are not in conflict but at rest, and apparently engaged in colloquy. One is naturally tempted to bring the former group into connexion with the west pediment of the Parthenon, and to regard the latter group as connected with the anathema on the Acropolis mentioned by Pausanias in passage j. A noticeable point in the coins of the first group is that the snake is in all cases distinctly hostile to Poseidon. 5. ATHENE STANDING BY OLIVE. Athene standing to left before olive-tree ; in her right hand spear held transversely, in her left shield which rests on the ground. IE B. M. Rhousopoulos. Bibl. Turin. (Z xvin.) Snake twined round tree. B. M. (Z xix.) Owl perched in tree. Loebbecke. Owl at foot of tree. Beule, 390, 3. Owl in tree, snake at foot. This Athene may perhaps be part of a group, which, when complete, would include Poseidon on the other side of the tree. On one specimen (Z xvin. B. M.) the snake which is twined round the tree seems to be looking at an enemy, who can scarcely be other than Poseidon. On the other hand the Athene of these coins is not exactly like the Athene of the groups above cited ; more, however, like the goddess in the second than in the first group. 132 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. 6.

"Wieseler, Denkmaler, No. 2396. Athene to left, right hand advanced, at her feet serpent; before her Marsyas in an attitude of surprise. M Bibl. Turin (Z xxi.) This is an interesting group, and we find in it traces of sculptural origin, although Athene is not, as in the group described by Pausanias, striking Marsyas. Wieseler suggests (Nachrichten der k. Gesellsch. A. Wis. Gottingen, 1885, p. 324) that the reading Mapo-vav iraiova-a is corrupt, and that a better would be M.apcrvav av\ovvra dvcnravovaa. Cf. however Michaelis, Paus. descr. arcis, p. 9, and Petersen, Arch. Zeit. 1880, who explains the phrase of the text. Several writers whose opinions are summed up by Overbeck (Gr. Plastik. I. 209, and note ]65) agree in regarding the Marsyas of the coin, which is like a marble statue in the Lateran and a bronze statuette in the British Museum, as copied from the Marsyas of Myron. The attitude of Athene is on the two coins different, and as they are too ill-preserved for ATHENE AND MARSYAS. 133 us to judge of it in detail, we must content ourselves with saying that she is in a quiet attitude, indicating neither anger nor hostility. Pliny speaks of a group by Myron thus, (fecit} satyrum adinirantem tibias et Minervam, which phrase applies far better to the group of the coin than the phrase of Pausanias ; it thus appears not unlikely that we may have here a repro- duction of the group of Myron, which may have been preserved at Athens. \Ve next reach a number of types of Athene which cannot be definitely traced back to a sculptural original : some are mere varieties of the types already described, some are new, and offer a field to investigation in future. 8.

The first coin under head 8 belongs to the class of figures of which the Pallas of Velletri is the most noteworthy specimen.

The first described of these types is the most important, and seems clearly to portray a sculptural original of the early period; there is in the pose something of archaic stiffness. Beule suggests that it may portray the Athene Archegetis, of which the scholiast to Aristophanes (Aves, 1. 515) says yXav/ca el-^ev ev rfj x L P^ -^ u ^ * n ^ s ph rase is not distinctive, the owl being a usual attribute of Athene : we are equally likely to be right in considering the present type as Athene Paeonia.

It was perhaps intended to circulate in Asia, and in fact was probably issued from an Asiatic mint. It cannot be said with certainty whether the representation should be called Athene or Nike : the helmet and the Palladium are in favour of the former attribution.

A. p. 24) that the more archaic Zeus (i.) on the coins is a copy of the archaic statue of Zeus Polieus (&), and the later Zeus of a similar type (in.) is a copy of the statue by Leochares which stood beside it (f). On this theory Overbeck (K. M. p. 54) remarks that Jahn's identification of the archaic statue of Zeus Polieus though not certain is probable ; and certainly its parallelism with the recognized type of Athene Polias (AA xiv.) is in favour of such identification. To Jahn's argument as to 133 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. the statue by Leochares, Overbeck adds that the altar in front of the figure on the coin (ill.) may stand for the altar which stood before Zeus Polieus, where was performed the annual ceremony of the Buphonia or Diipolia (Paus. I. 28, 11.) The seated figure of Zeus (iv.) is very probably copied from the colossal statue set up by Hadrian in the Olympiemm (g) which would naturally be a copy of the chryselephantine statue by Pheidias at Olympia. 3.

If the archaic figure of Artemis at Brauron was a copy of the ancient xoanon carried off by the Persians to Susa and given by Seleucus (Paus. in. 16, 7) to the people of Seleucia in Syria, on whose coins (N XL xn.) we find copies of it, the present representation does not reproduce the Brauronian statue as Beule supposed, being of another type. It is far more probably an Artemis Leucophryne. The statue dedicated by the sons of Themistocles would in all probability be modelled more or less closely on the cultus-statue of that deity in her temple at Magnesia in Ionia > where Themistocles was dynast. This cultus-statue is often reproduced on late coins of Magnesia ; the goddess was represented in nearly the same form at Mag- nesia as at Ephesus, with polus on head, the body in term-like shape, pendent fillets hanging from the outstretched hands. The figure on our coin does not fully conform to this description ; the feet are articulate, and in the outstretched hands are patera and bow; nevertheless the scheme seems rather Asiatic than European, and it seems not unlikely that the sons of Themis- tocles may have innovated in details on the fixed traditional type.

On Athenian coins, Artemis, when she bears one or two torches, is not easily to be distinguished from Demeter. The figure with short skirts is of course Artemis ; as to the figure iu long skirts we may hesitate : but on some coins, notably x, a quiver is distinctly visible, which can of course belong only to Artemis. When Artemis appears in company with Demeter (xvi.) Beule (p. 325) calls her Propylaea, there being a temple of Artemis Propylaea at the sanctuary of Eleusis. 5. (a) Paus. I. 1, 4. At Phalerum.

(CC v.) Beule, 376, 1 and 3. There can be little doubt that the figure reproduced on these coins is, as Beul6 has suggested, the Dionysus of Alcamenes. His likeness to the Pheidian Zeus is conspicuous in regard to his general attitude and the fashion of his outer garment, which does not cover the upper part of his body, but is brought over the left shoulder. There does not seem to have been a chiton under it. He is well adapted for a great cultus-statue, and that he served as such is proved by the table and altar of the coin iv. The head on the coin last described seems to be an exact enlargement of the head of the seated figure. It is certainly of noble type, but we may be somewhat surprised to find Alcamenes perpetuating so archaic a fashion of doing the hair.

Dionysus seated, facing, clad in long chiton, two torches over shoulders ; beside him Demeter or Artemis standing, holding torch in each hand. JIB. M. (CO VHI.) Beule, 202. Of these figures the first (CC VI.) seems undoubtedly a copy of an archaic statue, of about the time of Calamis. The figure holding a mask may be copied from one of the statues of Dionysus in the Theatre or its neighbourhood. The female figure in company with Dionysus should be Demeter rather than Artemis ; the artistic type, however, would do for either. Paus. i. 21. THEATRE OF DIONYSUS.

Beule, 394 ; Donaldson, Architecture!, Numismatica, ~$o. 2. It seems probable that this Theatre was chosen as a type for coins in consequence of the great improvements effected in it about the time of Hadrian, notably the erection of an elevated logeion. See C.I. A. iii. 239. Donaldson has called attention to the openings or niches which appear on the coin at the top of the cavea and at the foot of the Acropolis rock, and has cited in connexion with them the words of Pausanias, I. 21, 3, who says that at the top of the theatre is a cave in the rocks, wherein is a tripod, and in it Apollo and Artemis slaying the children of Niobe. In Michaelis' plan of the Acropolis a cave is indicated at the same spot, which was formerly blocked by the choragic monument of Thrasyllus (Descr. Arcis Athenarum, 1880.) On the Brit. Mus. coin (x.) there is an appearance of a monument D 2 144 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. over one of the caves, but this appearance is probably due to accident only. 7. (a) Paus. I. 2, 5.

(CC xx.) Loebbecke. (CC xxi.) Beule, 388, 2. The descriptions of Pausanias are not sufficiently exact to enable us to identify with certainty any of these figures of Apollo. But the early figure CC xv.-xvil. is connected by Furtwangler (Reseller's Lexicon, p. 456) with the so-called Omphalos Apollo of Athens and the Choiseul-Gouffier Apollo of the British Museum. T. Schreiber (Athen. Mittheil. 1884, p. 248) maintains that it is probably a copy of the statue in the Daphnephoreion at Athens (Athenaeus, x. p. 424 F). That in which the hand rests on the head (xvm. xix.) seems from the description of a statue of Apollo Lyceius (above, g) in Lucian (Anacharsis, 7) to be meant for a copy of the statue in the Lyceium. The tripod and the laurel Avould very well represent such a locality as the Lyceium. 8. (a) Paus. I. 8, 4. Near the temple of Ares. Statues of Theseus and Herakles. (&) I. 17, 2-6. Temple of Theseus.

It is remarkable that the only sculptural records of Theseus mentioned by Pausanias are : his statue beside that of Herakles (a) ; his fight with the Minotaur (c) ; his lifting the stone (d) ; and his driving the bull of Marathon (e). The subjects of all these four representations appear on coins, but no other deed of Theseus, none of the exploits, for instance, which were depicted in the metopes of the so-called temple of Theseus. This is an interesting fact, and shows that many people at Athens were, like Pausanias, more impressed by separate groups than by those which merely formed part of the decoration of a temple. It is likely that one of the coins (DD !) gives us the type of the statue of Theseus ; and the group of Theseus raising the stone, as it appears again quite similarly treated on coins of Troezen (M xi.), is probably a copy of the bronze group on the Acropolis. As to the other types we cannot say whether they are original or copies; but the tameness with which the bull walks before the hero seems scarcely worthy of a sculptural group. EIRENE. 147 9. Paus.

OTHER TYPES : Asklepios seated to left on throne, extends his right hand over head of coiled snake, in his left hand sceptre ; dog lying behind him. M Sept. Severus. Berlin. A close copy of the Epidaurian statue by Thrasymedes : cf. L in. v. Artemis to right, holds in left hand bow, with right hand draws arrow from quiver ; dog at her feet. M Plautilla. Berlin. Artemis facing, head turned to left, dog beside her ; on either side a cypress. M Sept. Severus. Brunswick (FF xxi.) NEMEA. (Coins of Argos.) 2. HYPSIPYLE running to left in alarm with arms spread towards erect serpent, which holds in its coils the body of Opheltes inverted. M Hadrian. Berlin. ARGOS. 8. Perseus bearded (?) standing, chlamys over shoulders ; holds in right hand harpa, in left Gorgoneion. M Sept. Sev. Berlin (FF xxn.) This type of Perseus is quite different from the conventional figure of I XVII., XVIII. 9. APOLLO (Lycius ?) naked, facing, holds in right hand a branch ; rests left elbow on Ionic column. JE M. Aurelius. Rhousopoulos. L. Verus. Rhousopoulos (FF xxiu.) Above described, but not figured : possibly a reproduction of the work of the sculptor Attalus (Paus. II. 19, 3.) 16. LETO, right hand raised to shoulder, the left extended over a small figure of Chloris, within a temple. JE Anton. Pius. Paris (FF xxiv.) Berlin. These important coins complete the proof that the group of 160 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. these coins, as well as of K xxxvi. vm. is a copy of the work of Praxiteles. On these specimens there is nothing in the left hand of Leto, her right hand is raised to her shoulder, whether to a quiver or to adjust her dress. Chloris seems to be a somewhat stiffly-draped figure. 17. DEMETER standing, clad in long chiton ; holds in extended right hand poppy-head, in left ears of corn. M L. Verus. Berlin (GG i.) Demeter, holding poppy-head and ears of corn, in a railed inclosure. JE Sept. Severus. Paris. The pose of this figure is not unlike that of Demeter on K xxxix. The inclosure in which she stands, probably the only occurrence of such a barrier on Greek coins, proves that the figure is a copy of a statue. The coin is too ill-preserved to be reproduced. 18. One of the DIOSCURI, naked, standing, holds spear and sword. M Hadrian. Rhousopoulos. Ant iiiuus. Paris. 19. Two figures of EILEITHUIA to left, each holding two torches, one raised, one lowered. M Hadrian, Paris. 21. ATHENE standing, holds in right hand patera, in raised right spear, against which leans shield. M Hadrian. Berlin (GG n.) 24. ASKLEPIOS seated on throne, in the front of a temple with five Ionic columns at side. M Anton. Pius. Berlin (GG HI.) We have here further proof that the statue of Asklepios by Xenophilus and Strato is that reproduced on the coins. The coin however on which the figure of Hygieia appears, K XLVIII, is not of Argos, but of Aegium : see R x. 29. ARES standing, armed, clad in short chiton, holds patera and spear. M J. Domna. Rhousopoulos. Compare L L. 30. OTHER TYPES at Argos. Goddess standing, clad in long chiton ; holds patera and sceptre. M Sept. Severus. Rhousopoulos (GG rv.) Goddess standing, clad in long chiton, holds pomegranate (?) ARGOS. 161 and sceptre ; on either side of her, altar ; behind her a second figure clad in long chiton, who raises her right hand and holds sceptre in left. j J. Domna. Rhousopoulos (GG V.) Standing figure, apparently male, holding long sceptre in round shrine on basis. M Anton. Pius. Paris (GG vi.) Artemis running, discharging arrow. jE M. Aurelius. Paris. River-god reclining (Inachus ?). Ant. Pius. Rhousopoulos. EPIDAURUS. 2. The ASKLEPIOS of Thrasymedes seated to left ; before him, snake. JE Anton. Pius. Berlin (GG vn.) Cf. L in. v. The present coin is added because of its remarkable execution and preservation. Even the head of Asklepios is quite distinct ; it is closely like that of Zeus on fourth century coins. 3. HYGIEIA standing in round temple. M Anton. Pius. Berlin (GG vin.) In this coin as in L vi. the details of the figure are not clear, nor even its identification certain. She stands to left, clad in long chiton and over-dress ; her right hand is extended, her left hangs down. 6. OTHER TYPES at Epidaurus. Female figure facing, in chiton and over-dress ; holds in raised right long sceptre, in left a vessel (?). M Anton. Pius. Paris. Berlin. AEGINA. 3. Nude figure of APOLLO, right, in the act of discharging an arrow. M Auton. Munich (GG ix.) This is a different type of Apollo from L II., but probably like it a copy of a work of art of the early Aeginetan school. 7. Isis ; holds sistrum and vase. M Geta. Rhousopoulos. TROEZEN. 4. APOLLO holding an arrow and leaning on a tripod, around which is twined a serpent ; he is draped from the waist downwards. M Sept. Severus. Paris (GG x.) 162 NUMISMATIC COMMENTARY ON PAUSANIAS. 5a.
