Sestini {Medaglie Ispane, pp. 1 arid 2) acutely remarks, that Florez gives none of these coins, except those which he copied from Paruta, and infers from this fact, and the inscription panormos. sic. on some, that they were struck in Sicily, where they are found.

The ear of the horse might appear to be so adjusted as to form a wing to the genius. For a more detailed account of this unique representation in antiquity, see an interesting paper by the Duke De Luynes, in the Uevfie Numismatique for 1840, p. 85, noticed in the Ntimismatic Chronicle, vol. 3, p. (iS. On this coin, however, B 'y^ ^ *..•:• //A / / /// /// ( 4 ) wLicL IS of hut ir.ii/v, the eye and the nostril of tlie horse are visible helweon the limbs of the genius, proving that the genius is clinging to the head, rather than forming, or consfituling. the head of the animal. On Iho other hand, it must bo admitted, that on the generality of these coins the little genius does certainly ajipear to form, or constitute, the horse's head, esiiecially on all those of copper. The fact therefore seems to be, that the style of work of the bulk of these coins being that which is technically called harharouf., or approaching to that style, the oppor- tunity of seeing a coin of _/ine ui()»-fc is so rare, that the latter opinion seems to prevail among numismatists. ^-.— 3 Another; having a Dolphin under the winged horse, and also the little naked genius on the head of the animal ; in good /■ condition : . . siis'e 4^.

It should, moreover, be kept in mind, that this Collection is the re- sult of nearly fifty years' unwearied devotion to the acquisition of the most rare coins, which, during that long period, have been offered for public sale in London. y/y — " 171 Rhegium ; compare Dumersan, pi. 1, fig. 15 ; but see Hunter^ tab. 44, fig. 16 ; very rare, fine old work, and in a perfect -^ state of preservation : size Z\. weight 65^^ grs. 1 X 172 Another; it requires a judicious cleaning: size 2^.

His description of the bead of Apollo as caput muUebre has been already corrected by Torremuzza, (Auct. ad. sic. Numisra. p. 8.) and by Eckhel, who merely give the coin on Combe's authority. If on that in the Hunter Cabinet there really be no lyre in the field, to the right of the head of Apollo, this coin, in that curious particular, is probably unique, as well as the specimen in the Hunter Collection. The androgynous Apollo, above described, recurs often on the tetra- drachms of llhegium, (see note to lot 166, p. 25) on some of which, as on this coin, the leaves ornamenting the head of the god are also serrated like the arbutus. This has led Combe to describe the head as coroiid querceu ornaiis. See Hunter, page 87, No. 1. 263 Catana; Mionnet, p. 226, No. 150; Hunter, tab. 15, fig. 22; / Torremuzza, tab. 20, fig. 1 ; a very fine coin, in the highest state of preservation, and of extreme rarity: . size 7. weight 267-j^ grs. 1 *^* Combe reads the artist's name HPAKAEIaN ; Torremuzza, as well as Mionnet, read HP/VKAEIAAZ.

On this coin the leaves on the head of Apollo are not serrated. 264 Catana; obv.

These two are Drachma of that talent. In each of the two following lots is a later coin, with a crab on the reverse, which probably may indicate an alliance between Himera and Agrigentum. These later coins, being Didrachme of the Attic talent, shew that some early and important political change had taken place, and occasioned an alteration in the public standard of the money of Himera.

( 57 ) and weighing about 575 to 580 grains troy, with the pegasus, and four Punic letters, on the reverse : engraved in Mionnet, vol. vii. pi. &6, fig, 4; and Pellerin, Recueil, pi. 88, fig. 6. , _381 Carthage; ohv. a Female Head, ornamented with ears of corn, '^PZ-^^^ to the left, like Mionnet, vol. vii. pi. 66, fig. 4 ; rev. no Punic letters; a Horse galloping to the left, in very low relief; not in Mionnet; fine work, in perfect preservation ; of the very highest degree of rarity, if not unique, and presumed ^/J /^^ '■ to he unpublished : size \\. weight 701-^ grs, 1 •^* This beautiful and remarkable coin was most probably struck at Carthage. It is the heaviest hitherto known in the Greek series, being a Dodecadrachm of the Tyrian, or Phoenician talent. The Drachm of this very ancient talent therefore weighed 58 to 59 grains ; and the Tetradrachms (with dates) of Aradus (a Phoenician city and island), weighing 235 grains, among those of many other cities of Asia and Africa, furnish us perhaps with the latest examples of the same Drachm and talent. There is in the British Museum a most rare Hexadrachm of Bere- nice, wife of Ptolemy III., from the cabinet of Mr. Burgon, which, though a little rubbed, weighs 3263 grains. Its full weight would have been 330 to 333 grains, being a Hexadrachm of the Egyptian or Alexandrian talent, of which the Drachm weighed 54^ to 53^ grains. The existence of this Hexadrachm, proves, not only the probable existence of Dodecadrachms, but the two coins taken together, render it extremely probable that the old Tyrian or Phoenician talent, merged during the sway of the Ptolemies, into the talent of ^Egypt. SILVER COINS OF THE CARTHAGINIANS, ASCRIBED TO DIONYSIUS II. *^* It is well known that many of the following coins, ascribed to Diony- sius, and to Panormus, by the early writers, belong in fact to Carthage, and would be more properly classed there. It may be presumed, how ever, that those of very fine work, and of the Sicilian style of mintage, were struck at Panormus, and other cities of Sicily, which were occu- pied by the Carthaginians. A knowledge of the Punic inscriptions, can alone lead to the correct classification of tbese coins. It is deeply to be regretted that the learned Gesenius was not aided by a competent numismatist, in his researches into this subject ; as his valuable work, entitled Scriptures Lingiiccqtie Phxnicia Monumenta, S^c. hipda, 1837, 4to. appears to be the nearest approximation to an explanation of the Punic inscriptions on this most interesting class of coins.

The type of this reverse cannot be all seen and appreciated without both coins. ^^ 602 Syracuse; 2YRA?02I0N. compare Mionnet, pi. 61, fig. 7; but the hair is turned up on this rare coin ; beautiful cotidition, and Jine old work : size 6^. tveight '^.QQ-^ grs. \ tl /I ^^ 603 Syracuse; Hunter, pi. 53, 'ng.b\,fine work, very good con- dition, and very rare type : size 7. tveight 264 grs. 1 604 Syracuse; nearly like Hunter, tab. 53, fig. \'^;Jine condition, -^ and fine old tvork: size 6. weight 265^ grs. 1 605 Syracuse ; Mionnet, pi. 67, fig. 5 ; Torremuzza, tab. 73, fig. 16 ; ^^^ NIK. in raonogram under the neck ; in most perfect preser- vation, and ofthesam.e beautiful style of work as the Medal- lions of Syracuse: size 7. weight '264^ grs. 1 ■-^ 606 Another ; the obverse from the same die as the preceding, but not the reverse ; equally beautiful, and well preserved : size 7. weight 265y^j grs. 1 / ^ 607 Syracuse ; obv. compare Hunter, pi. 53, fig. 3: rev. a Quad- riga to the left, and ear of wheat in exergue ; very fine work, V and condition; rar'e type, but the reverse a little injured by oxide and, double striking : size 6^. weight 267 ^^ grs. 1 -^ -^ 608 Syracuse ; like Hunter, pi. 53, fig. 14, except in the disposi- i tion of the letters; very clean and well preserved, and fine \ old work : . size 6^. weight 270^ grs. 1 "^ *^ I ♦^s jjjg vi-eight of this coin is remarkable.

This fillet is frequently seen, on other coins, attached to a palm branch, which, on these coins, the youth holds in bis band. On this identical coin the youth holds a sort of sceptre, ending with a ball, from which issue tbe sprigs of palm. See a repetition of this very rare repre- sentation on the unique coin lot 883.

It is mentioned by TLucydides, book 2, as belonging to the Corinthians, which accounts very satisfactorily for the type of the pegasus. Stephanus, quoting Thucydides, calls the town Sollium; and both writers spell the name with O instead of Si. Other similar errors of the copyists occur in Thucydides, which are corrected by the coins. There is a similar coin of this town in the British Museum, from the cabinet of Mr. Burgon. Coins being the best commentators on coins, it appears probable that, that of Pyrrhus in copper, with OQIaz, furnishes us with a clue to the name of the deified personage represented on this coin of Solium, as well as on those of Ambracia. The veiled female Head, laureate, on the coins of Pyrrhus, Ambracia, and Solium, ap- pear to be identical. Thvrreum ; Pegasus type ; well preserved ; three different : size 5.

See Millingen, Recueil, &c. p. 39, where this type is fully explained. There is little doubt that the representation on this coin is copied from the statue and trophy which the jEtolians dedicated at Delphi ; see Pausanias, Phocica, cap. 18, et seq. The crow and tripod on the gold coin of ^tolia, engraved in Mionnet, Supp., plate 15, fig. 1, seems further to connect this type with Apollo, or Delphi. 1396 iEtolia ; Mionnet, p. 87, No. 5; middling condition, hut very rare : . size 7. iEtolia; type oi Mt.

Its rarity, in silver, has prevented very numerous observations as to the place where it is found, and has therefore tended to impede its correct classification ; but tbe constant finding- in Boeotia of coins in copper, with various modifications of the same type and legends, and often with EP. instead of the monogram, (like Hunter, tab. '■26, fig. 22), proves, not only bow the monogram is to be read, but, at the same time, leads to the certain classification of all these coins to Orcbomenus.

So much doubt and mistrust as to tbe existence of genuine gold coins of Athens has been caused by the statements of Eckhel and others, in print, as well as by the works of modern falsifiers, j that this remark may, perhaps, be useful to distant collectors. It is . now admitted that the learned Eckhel, when speaking of gold staters, in his Doct. Num. Vet. (Prolegomena Generalia, vol. 1, p. xli.), ^ was in error in doubting the existence either of the stater aureus of ] Athens, or of those of Phocaea and Cyzicus ; as well as in saying, at ' page 206, vol. 2, when speaking of the gold coins of Athens ; '' Htijus metalli mimum nullum habemus certum." It is rather singular that he did not adopt means to verify the fact, for be was well aware of the existence of the gold coin of Athens in the Hunter cabinet, when he wrote; and, also, that good authorities held opinions contrary to his own, as to the staters of Phocaea and Cvzicus.

(retrograde) an Owl standing, seen in front, with wings extended, in an indented square ; in the upper angle of which was a sprig of olive, (two leaves and a berry) only a small portion of which is visible on the coin ; in perfect condition, the die slightly Jlawed, and of a rather rude archaic style of work : size 9|^. weight 664 grs. 1 *ju* This coin gives, therefore, an Attic drachm of 66-r*.g^ grains, and is the second hitherto discovered. The other (from the cabinet of Mr. Burgon) is in the British Museum. This coin is tlie identical specimen engraved in the Voyages dans la Grece, 2nde Livraison, by the late Chevalier Brbnsted, Paris, 1830, folio, p. 188 and p. 300. It is there noticed as an octodrachm, but the weight is decisive as to its being a decadrachm. Not only was this denomination of Athenian money unknown till of late years, but its name (SiKa- 5(>a;^j(*ov) has hitherto eluded the vigilance of the lexicographers. It will be found to occur, however, in the treatise, commonly called the I Second Book of the (Economics of Aristotle : ToS Je alrov itoiXoviA.ivov h T? Xapa AEKAAPAXMOT, x,. r. X. (CEc.$ xxxiv.) In explanation [ of this circumstance, it is needful to observe that the passage exhi- j bits a different reading in all the early editions of Aristotle, Even down to that printed at Oxford, in 1810, we read Jejcci ifay^jj-Zv. The genuine text (as far as the writer is aware) was first restored in the very careful edition of the Politics and CEconomics, published by I Goettling, in 1830; and that, too, strange to say, on the authority of I all the four MSS, which the learned editor collated for bis work. j Thus, while a very important coin has been added to Greek Numis- I matology, a lost word has also been restored to Greek nomenclature. ' N.B. The celebrity of this coin appears to have induced some forger to make a false die. An impression from which having been found in I I . a drawer of one of the cabinets, it has been thought proper to allow I it to accompany the true coin with the same feeling with which, it I may be presumed, its late proprietor kept it. ^' -/-,<,£' 1501 Athens; obv.

The rarity of this type and size escapes notice. It is worth remark- ing, that as this coin is of precisely the same age as the fol- lowing tetradrachm (having the same magistrates' names), and shews no signs of having lost much in weight, it is very singular that it should be so light. The weight of the following tetradrachm would give a drachm of 64^ grains. TETRADRACHMS OF ATHENS IN SILVER, With names of Magistrates. 1504 Athens ; usual type ; obv. Head of Minerva ; rev.

( Coins of Kings of the Bosphorus, in Gold, continued at p. 25Q.J GOLD STATERS OF CYZICUS, USUALLY CALLED DISTATERS, OR DOUBLE STATERS. *#* It is now admitted that the learned Eckhel, (Doct. Num. Vet. vol. 2, page 451,) speaking of the silver staters of Cvzicus, and quoting Suidas, (in Ki/2^(Ki)vo( (TTaTtjpE;) was in error in adding, " pari fama fuerunt sta- teres Cyziceni aurei, sed verisimiliter imaginarii tantum; de quibus actum alibi." (proleg. gen. cap. ix. p. xli.) The young- Collector may therefore feel assured that these coins are specimens of the Kv^mnvoi of which Xenophon (book v.) promised his soldiers one to each man per month. That they are Staters, and not Distaters, may be proved as fol- lows : — Demosthenes {in phorm.) speaks of the same coin, and identifies it to us, by informing us that its current value was reckoned at twenty- eight Attic Drachmae, We learn from various other sources, that the stater aureus of Athens, as well as that of Philip, and of Alexander, &c. &c. (weighing 133 grains troy) passed current at twenty Attic Drachmae, and we know them to be of pure gold. The cyzicene stater is of pale gold, or electrum, and weighs about 248 grains troy. This pale gold or electrum is about 18 carats fine, i. e. consists of about one-fourth part of silver and three- fourths pure gold. If, therefore, from 248 grains we deduct the weight of the fourth part (of silver) we obtain 186 grains of pure gold in the Cyzicene stater, and we shall then find that if 133 grains of pure gold be worth 20 Attic Drachmae, 186 grains will be worth 28 Attic Drachmae, shewing that the ancients estimated the value of these coins very accurately. There seems to be no need of taking the value of the silver (62 grains) into account, as the expence of extracting it, or separating it from the gold, would probably (in ancient times) have absorbed its value. 1774 Cyzicus ; obv. draped and winged Female Figure in motion, /■? / , to the left, with her head turned back, and holding up a '^ pelamis, or tunny fish in her extended right hand; her hair hangs down in long straight dotted tresses, and is orna- mented in front of the head like that of Diana ; rev. quad, incus. ; in most archaic style, and in extremely fine con- dition : size 4\. weight 247^ grs. 1 *^,* The general rarity of all these coins is so well known, that it does not I I // ( 240 ) appear needful to discuss the particular raritj- of each. Many will be found to be unpublished, and several are presumed to be unique. To the latter important class, the above described coin, and several of the following, will be perceived to belong. Also, it may be here remarked, that so little is known of the Mythology connected with the city of Cyzicus, or of the local traditions anterior to the period to which these very interesting coins belong, that no attempt is here made to assign names to the representations which are found upon them. These are each worthy of separate dissertations, after due study and research.

That above described is presumed to be the second known, and is the identical specimen published by Mionnet, who has singularly erred in his notion of its rarity. A long passage in Poly- aenus Strat. (lib. vi. cap. 49 Anaxagoras) gives a peculiar interest to this remarkable coin ; since there can exist no reasonable doubt that the EXEaNaH. whose name occurs on it, is the individual mentioned by Polyaenus. The coin, by its style of work and peculiar type, can be readily referred to the precise period of time, (during the reign of Lysimachus, and shortly after the death of Alexander) to which the narrative of Polyaenus applies ; and the name is too re- markable, and of too rare occurrence, to permit the supposition that yj^/^ c^ y.- :^^2//^^ ( 298 ) two persons named Ecbeanax, should Lave been contemporaneously mixed up with Epbesian afiFairs; see (in connexion with ihe type of this coin) a paper " On the City of Ephesus when called Arsinoe,'' in the Numismatic Chronicle, Vol. 2, page 171 ; and the editor's note at page 176, as well as the plate illustrative of the paper. y /_ . 2135 Ephesus; type of Mt.

It is, as its name implies, the niith part [of the Stater,] which weighs about 248 grains, and consequently a Hecta (when of equal antiquity with its Stater) will weigh about 41| grains. The inscription alluded to has been published by Boeckh, (Corpus Inscriplionum GreEcarum, vol. ], pars II., Inscriplitmes Attica, page TjG^, as follows — § 19. CiBxaixa) a-Tatn^i ii. Bsnai Oajzaijej On which Boeckh remarks, " Phocaici stateres aurei fuerunt: "Exrat alibi non reperiuntur nisi in hoc ipso tilulo. § -2. Quae quum sextam stateris partem con- stituisse videantur, argentea; fuerint." §. 22. "Exth Oainaij xai, &c. It is highly probable that Boeckh would not have regarded the Hecta as a silver coin had he been aware of the existence of (comparatively) such abundant specimens of gold coins, exactly of the required weight to prove themselves to be Hectas, and belonging precisely to the towns of which we have gold Staters, as Cyzicus, Phocaea, flliletus, &c. It may be further remarked, that the period to which the Staters and Hectse in question belong, is antecedent to the age of the inscription, which may be referred to 400 years b. c. Phocaea ; obv.

J c^^/r •^ COINS OF THE KINGS OF .EGYPT, IN GOLD. PENTADRACHMS OF PTOLEMY SOTER. In displaying before the young Numismatist such a splendid suite of these most rare coins of Ptolemy Soter and his successors, we feel constrained to refer to the remark made at page 26 of the former portion of this Catalogue, the truth of which will have been abundantly perceived during the exa- mination of the many rich suites of this princely cabinet. It was the quantity and high condition of these precious coins, as well as of those which follow at page 381, which induced the writer to put into order some memoranda of old date, and to prepare the short paper on the Egyptian or Ptolemaic Talent which was read to the Numismatic ^%/// y ^/^^/^ ( 364 ) i r Society, 25th April, iS-it, and will be printed in the fortlicoming number of i the Numismatic Chronicle.

During the preliminary examinations of the cabinets of the late Mr. Thomas previous to commencing this Catalogue, the writer recognized several coins among those of copper, which appeared to be the identical specimens engraved in the well known work of the late Mr. Harwood, entitled " Populonim et Urbium, selecta numismata Greeca, ex aere," 4to. London, 1812, with seven copper plates of the coins. This led to a further and closer examination, which ended in the discovery of the whole of the coins engraved in the seven plates, except eight, which it is probable never came into the possession of Mr. Thomas. As several of these coins published by Mr. Harwood are extremely curious and remarkable, and as others have, for many years, been a stumbling block to numismatists, the writer has ventured to avail him- self of the present most favorable opportunity, to offer a few remarks on some of the coins previous to the possible or probable dispersion of them. 2930 The two Coins forming the vignettes at pages 15 and 16; and the eighteen coins forming plate I, No. 1 to 18, except one coin. No. 16, which was not found. 19 *^* On coin No. 3 it may be remarked, that the letters (as engraved) are not at all clear, and it requires cleaning and study to be classed with certainty; see Eckhel, Num. Vet. Anecdoti, tab. xiii. No. 13. Coin No. 5 is of Cleone, the K not having been perceived. The coin No. 6 is of Cius, in Bilhynia, or uncertain. The coin No. 10 is of Elis, and reads faAa.

No. 9 is a coin of the Locri Opuntii. Coin y* J — ( 410 ) No. 11 is not of the Island Euboea, but probably of Euboea in Sicily, and is a coin for study. Coin No. 1'2 is of Cephaloedium, in Sicily. 2933 The Coins forming plate 4, No. 1 to 20, except No. 1, which was probably a coin of Calacte in Sicily, and No. 13. 18 *«* Coin No. 5 is of Larissa, in Thessaly.

No. 17 is a coin of Athens. 2935 The Coins forming plate 6, except No. 6. . 18 /^^ ,/ *jn* The coin No. 3 is a Sicilian coin, and tbe monogram by no means clear — probably it is a coin of Syracuse.
