APOLLONIA Ioni«.
16 PA CYNKAHTOC. Beardless laureate male bust to r.
R. AnOAAnNIAC. Female bust to r. (Apollonia).
(Senatus Romanus).
Note.—The cities of this name were so numerous, that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish their
coins. Eclihel (ii. p. 509) has described, on the authority of Vaillant, a coin of Severus Alexander
with the legend AIIOAAQNIEQN EN IQNIA; and another, on the authority of Arigoni, with
AnOAAQNIEQN without the EN IQNIA, but which, the form of the gentile being the same, is
probably of the same Apollonia. That coin differs only from the present in having AIIOAAQNIEQN
in the place of AUOAAQNIAC, the types being the same. The only author who mentions an Apollonia
of Ionia is Stephanus, who describes it as Kara Ovdrttpa Koi 'Eiptaov, places which are about
100 miles asunder, so that little can be known of its exact position.
APOLLONIA Mysije, or Ad Rhyndacura.
Note.—This Apollonia preserves its ancient name, its Greek bishoprick, and a few remains of anti-
quity on the northern side of a lake through which the Rhyndacus flows in its way to the Propontis,
distant about twenty miles from Apollonia.

ARADUS Phcenicise.
to r.
Note.—This city occupied the island now called Ruad, situated at little more than a mile from the
nearest point of the mainland. Strabo says twenty stades, but this, to be correct, must be measured to
Tartfis, which place I take to be, not Orthosia, as commonly supposed, but Carnus or Antaradus, the
inivtiov of Aradus. This city seems to have avoided by submission the fate of Tyre, and thus to have
preserved its autonomy after the Macedonian conquest. This was probably acknowledged by treaty in
the reigns of Ptolemaeus II. and Antiochus II., as in those reigns commenced an sera, the years of
which are found on the coins of Aradus to a late period of the Roman empire. It began B.C. 259.
Veiled and turreted female bust to r., in dotted circle. B. APAAIflN. Victory,
standing to I. ; in right hand, acrostolium ; in left hand, palm branch ; in field.
