2^ote. With the exception <strong>of</strong> the preceding coin <strong>of</strong> Faustina Senior, this is the earliest on which we<br />

find such honours conferred upon the Amazon Smyrna. All the prior imperial reverses relate to the worship<br />

<strong>of</strong> Cybele, Nemesis, Jupiter, Hercules, Homer, and all the autonomous <strong>coins</strong> bearing the head <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Amazon identified <strong>with</strong> the city, are <strong>of</strong> later date. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the turreted<br />

female head on the earlier <strong>coins</strong> <strong>of</strong> Smyrna is intended for that <strong>of</strong> Cybele, or was commonly<br />

Sipylene as she<br />

called at Smyrna and Magnesia.<br />
