right hand, patera ; behind. Victory, flying up with crown, held in both hands.
Note.—
Here, as on the first coin, we find Terina united to Victory. The nymph of the fountain
which gave name to the city, is supposed to be ofi-ering sacrifice to the superior deities, which may
be the reason of her being represented without wings. Tlie obverses resemble the heads of Parthenope
on the coins of Neopolis, and leave little doubt that all, except the first, are intended for the
Siren Ligeia, whose monument, according to Lycophron, stood on the bank of the river Ares.

Note.—On some of the coins of Heiponium (Carelli, pi. 187) Pandina is named and figured as a
female holding up her right hand, in a manner which seems to identify her with the Nemesis of
European and Asiatic Greece, the avenger of human insolence and injustice. The following line of
the Anthologia (Jacobs ii. p. 84G) assimilates her also with Fortune, Uaviiivr) /jtyaXwv itya^uv
liiiTiipa PpoTolaiv. At Smyrna, the double capacity of Nemesis was represented by the two
"Stu'eaus, one of whom was Fortune, the other the avenging Nemesis.
