SANDALIUM Pisidise.
Note.— Sandalium having been described by Strabo as a fortified place situated between Cremna
and Sagalassus, both ascertained points, will probably be recognised hereafter by its remains.
Head of Pallas to r. R. SAMAAAl. Three crescents, in which and in the intervals
between them are six of these letters ; the A added in the margin. Electrotype
from
the B. M.
Note.—The only coin of Sandaliam known to Mionnet (iii. p. 517) differs only from this in being
of the fourth size, and in having four crescents instead of three— with the letters £AMAAAI.
SARDES Lydise.
Note.— Sardes preserves its ancient name, and has been described by a succession of travellers,
from whom may be gathered the degree of destruction which the monuments of a civilized age
Buffer from barbarians in the course of a century, though Sardes, being surrounded by a most depopulated
country, may be said to be favourably situated in this respect. The temple oiKv^ij^r), on account
of the value of its materials, has chiefly suffered. Six columns and a part of the cella were standing
in 1750, now only two columns, but happily no considerable excavations have yet been made by the
masons, such as have carried away even the foundations of the temple of Jupiter at Olympia ; and the
temple of Sardes, having been erected in a low situation, where the alluvium has accumulated to
near half the height of the columns, we may still hope to discover many interesting particulars of
this unique specimen of the Ionic architecture of the sixth or seventh century B.C. For a description
of the ruin, by Mr. Cockerel!, see my Asia Minor, p. 342.
